The phytohormone auxin is one of the most important signaling molecules that undergo accumulation or depletion in a temporal or spatial manner due to wide arrays of changes in developmental or stress programs. Proper distribution, maintenance and homeostasis of auxin molecules across the plant systems are one of the most important phenomena required for proper growth and development of plant. T...

The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the off-training physical activity (PA) profile in national elite German U23 rowers during 31 days of their preparation period. The hours spent in each PA category (i.e., sedentary: <1.5 metabolic equivalents (MET); light physical activity: 1.5-3 MET; moderate physical activity: 3-6 MET and vigorous intense physical activity: >6 MET) were calculated fo...

background: we aimed to analyze the effect of nursing strategies on patients with chronic renal failure (crf) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (mhd) treatment by puncturing on arteriovenous fistula (avf). methods: ninety-two patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (mhd) between jan 2014 and jan 2015 were included in the study (all undergoing avf, dialysis for ...

Abnormal auditory temporal processing might be an underlying deficit in language disabilities. The auditory temporal-order threshold, one measure for temporal processing abilities, is defined as the shortest time interval between two acoustic events necessary for a person to be able to identify the correct temporal order. In our study, we examined the reliability of the auditory temporal-order ...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the effects of two energy drinks on color change (∆e) of two methacrylate-based and a silorane-based composite resin after one week and one month. materials and methods: thirty cubic samples were fabricated from filtek p90, filtek z250 and filtek z350xt composite resins. all the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°c for 24 hours. baseline color ...

AIM The aim of the two audits was to evaluate the success of the two-week rule in the oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) department at the Newcastle General Hospital (NGH) and then subsequently in the oral surgery and oral medicine departments at Newcastle Dental Hospital (NDH). METHODS All two-week referrals seen at the NGH over a one-year period were examined retrospectively. An identic...

Background: Skeletal muscle is a tissue that secretes myokines from muscle cells in response to training stimuli and muscle contractions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of 4-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on the expression of three genes: apelin, decorin, and musclin in the skeletal muscle fibers of Wistar rats. In addition, the study examined the changes in gen...

BACKGROUND We previously determined that a weight-maintenance, non-ketogenic diet containing 30% carbohydrate (CHO), 30% protein, 40% fat, (30:30:40) (LoBAG30) decreased glycated hemoglobin (%tGHb) from 10.8 to 9.1% over a 5 week period in subjects with untreated type 2 diabetes. Both the fasting glucose and postprandial glucose area were decreased. Our objective in the present 10-week study wa...
