Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of acute renal failure. It occurs in various clinical settings such as renal transplantation, shock and vascular surgery. Serum creatinine level has been used as an index for estimating the degree of renal functional loss in renal IRI. However, it only evaluates the global renal function. In this study, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was ...

Pembangunan infrastruktur jalan merupakan suatu kebutuhan mutlak bagi pengembangan wilayah agar tercapai kesinambungan dan pemerataan pembangunan pada setiap daerah serta membentuk struktur ruang dalam rangka mewujudkan sarana nasional. Untuk membuka isolasi akses masyarakat terhadap perkembangan perekonomian di Kota Wamena, pemerintah melaksanakan pemeliharaan jalan. Pemeliharaan bertujuan unt...

Ion temperature data recorded by Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar (42.61° N, 288.51° E) over four full solar cycles (from 1970 to 2018) are analyzed depict its climatological behavior in the range of altitudes between 100 and 550 km. The ion dependencies on altitude, local time, month year, activity level studied through a analysis based binning boxplot representation statistical values....

Global ionospheric total electron content (TEC) is generally derived with ground-based Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations based on mathematical models in a solar-geomagnetic reference frame. However, are not well-distributed. There lack of over sparsely populated areas and vast oceans, where the accuracy TEC derivation reduced. Additionally, modified dip (modip) latitude more suita...

Alexithymic individuals have difficulty in recognizing and describing emotions in themselves. We investigated the neuronal basis of mentalizing in alexithymia to determine whether there is a common neuronal substrate associated with knowing the mental states of the self and others. Individuals high in alexithymia (n = 16) and low in alexithymia (n = 14) were selected from a pool of 310 college ...

1. The rumen adapts to increased food intake by the hyperplasia of epithelial cells. 2. Volatile fatty acids (VFA) stimulate cell mitosis of sheep ruminal epithelium in vivo. 3. Since VFA generally inhibit cell proliferation in vitro insulin was proposed in this study as the possible mediator of the mitotic stimulation in vivo. 4. Infusions (6 h) of insulin (0.125 U/kg per h) plus glucose (300 ...

Objective(s): Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the major causes of hepatic failure during liver transplantation, trauma, and infections. The present study investigated the protective effect of intra-portal administration of 2-methoxycinnamaldehyde (2-MCA) on hepatic IRI in rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four rats ...

BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) is essential for preventing further cartilage destruction and decreasing severe complications. The aims of this study are to explore the relationship between OA pathological grades and quantitative acoustic parameters and to provide more objective criteria for ultrasonic microscopic evaluation of the OA cartilage. METHODS Articular cartilage s...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There has been an increasing focus on the relationship between pediatric prescribers and the biomedical industry. There is a lack of research, however, on the biomedical industry's relationship with the professional medical associations (PMAs) of pediatric prescribers. We developed a systematic method to assess this relationship by evaluating PMA transparency and compl...
