Hippocrates and Galen, the translations made from Greek to those from Arabic, and using the more recent translations in preference to older ones: for example, the translation of the Royal book of 'Ali ibn al'Abbas made by Stephen of Antioch (Liber regalis) rather than the older version of Constantine the African (Pantegni). But, beyond this, he adds his personal stamp. He provides what is proba...

BACKGROUND Familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCH), characterized by elevated very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and/or low-density lipoprotein (LDL), is associated with an increased prevalence of premature cardiovascular disease. Therefore, lipid-lowering is frequently indicated. METHODS We evaluated in a parallel, double-blind randomized fashion the effect of gemfibrozil (1200 mg/day) (n =...

Prostate cancer is a common cancer among men in developed countries. Although hormonotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) represent valid therapies for prostate cancer treatment, novel immunological approaches have been explored. The development of clinical trials employing cancer vaccines has indicated that immune response to tumor antigens can be boost...

Mitochondrial complex II (CII) has been recently identified as a novel target for anti-cancer drugs. Mitochondrially targeted vitamin E succinate (MitoVES) is modified so that it is preferentially localized to mitochondria, greatly enhancing its pro-apoptotic and anti-cancer activity. Using genetically manipulated cells, MitoVES caused apoptosis and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) i...

Context. It has been shown that the luminosity of active galactic nuclei and the size of their broad line region obey a simple relation of the type RBLR = aL, from faint Seyfert nuclei to bright quasars, allowing single-epoch determination of the central black hole mass MBH = bL∆Hβ from their luminosity L and width of Hβ emission line. Adopting this mass determination for cosmological studies r...

Interacting supernovae (SNe) IIn and Ibn show narrow emission lines have always been a mysterious unsolved genre in SNe physics. We present comprehensive analysis of the temporal spectroscopic behaviour group interacting SNe~IIn Ibn. choose SNe~2012ab, 2020cui, 2020rc 2019uo as representative members these SN sub-types to probe nature explosion. Our study reveals that are heterogeneous, bright ...
