Metabolic syndrome refers to a set of conditions that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and has been associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, particularly among African American men. This study aimed to estimate the association of metabolic syndrome with biochemical recurrence (BCR) in a racially diverse population. Among 383 radical prostatectomy patients, 67 patients h...

Cats with azotemia and uremia are increasingly treated integrative alternative treatments, including herbal medicines. KID-T (Sin-gi-hwan) is a supplement made of 100% natural herbs contains 18 herbs, the components were designed to improve renal function in. Feline patients recruited, efficacy was examined. Four cats oral twice day for 3 months, blood biochemical profiles examined monitor toxi...

The direct interfacing of living cells with inorganic electronic materials, components or systems has led to the development of two broad categories of devices that can (1) transduce biochemical signals generated by biological components into electrical signals and (2) transduce electronically generated signals into biochemical signals. The first category of devices permits the monitoring of li...

Proteins and lipids synthesized by airway secretory cells or transudated are active components in the protection of respiratory epithelium. Proteins and ions are involved in the control of mucus hydration. Secretory proteins, such as secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA), transferrin and lysozyme, participate in the airway antibacterial defence. Other biochemical components found in secretions, such...

We introduce a computing mechanism of a biochemical inspiration (similar to a P system from the area of Computing with Membranes) which consists of a multiset of symbol-objects and a set of nite state transducers. The transducers process symbols in the current multi-set in the usual manner. A computation starts in an initial connguration and ends in a halting connguration. The power of these me...

Section 1: Technology and Modeling Framework for Cell Collective Cell Collective (www.thecellcollective.org) is a web-based platform for the creation and simulation of computational models of biological/biochemical processes [11,12]. The mathematical framework utilized in the platform is based on logical discrete networks first developed by S. Kauffman [15] and R. Thomas [16] In these networks,...

Background: Metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (BMI) lower than +1SD with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. This study wants to determineprevalence of MONW, metabolically benign normal weight (MBNW), metabolically abnormality obese (MAO) and comparethe components of metabolic ...

Sepsis is a syndrome consisting of physiological, pathological and biochemical anomalies caused by infectious agents. It causes clinical organ dysfunction, which identified an acute increase in the Sequential (sepsis-related) Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score two or more points. SOFA three components that can be easily used at bedside to track status patient while on admission, these are al...

ALTERATIONS IN BIOCHEMICAL COMPONENTS IN MESTA PLANTS: Yellow vein mosaic disease of mesta (kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus L.; and roselle, H. sabdariffa L.) is a new entrant to the disease scenario and it is associated with a novel monopartite Begomovirus. Changes in different biochemical parameters in diseased mesta plants were observed as compared to healthy ones. Isozyme pattern and assays of d...

The eukaryotic pre-replication complex is assembled at replication origins in a reaction called licensing. Licensing involves the interactions of a variety of proteins including the origin recognition complex (ORC), Cdc6 and the Mcm2-7 helicase, homologues of which are also found in archaea. The euryarchaeote Archaeoglobus fulgidus encodes two genes with homology to Orc/Cdc6 and a single Mcm ho...
