To determine the relative importance of the confining geometry and nanoscopic length scale versus water/interface interactions, the dynamic interactions between water and interfaces are studied with ultrafast infrared spectroscopy. Aerosol OT (AOT) is a surfactant that can form two-dimensional lamellar structures with known water layer thickness as well as well-defined monodispersed spherical r...

Since 2006, type 1 diabetes in Finland has plateaued and then decreased after the authorities' decision to fortify dietary milk products with cholecalciferol. The role of vitamin D in innate and adaptive immunity is critical. A statistical error in the estimation of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D was recently discovered; in a correct analysis of the data used by the Insti...

BACKGROUND While plasma-derived concentrates containing large amounts of von Willebrand factor (VWF) are effective in treating von Willebrand disease (VWD), optimal dosing remains to be fully characterized. OBJECTIVES To determine the feasibility of dosing Haemate P VWF/factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate based on pharmacokinetics (PK) in the management of surgical subjects with VWD. METHODS VW...

The performance of the m1000 system (Abbott Laboratories, Illinois) as a front-end extraction system for high-throughput "in-house" quantitative real-time PCR assays was analyzed and compared to that of manual extraction of plasma and serum samples (hepatitis C virus [HCV] and hepatitis B virus [HBV]) and EDTA-blood samples (cytomegalovirus [CMV] and Epstein-Barr virus [EBV]). Linearity of extr...

Abstract Background and Aims There are research data suggesting a citrate-buffered dialysis bath being superior to conventional acetate-buffered dialysis. Since Heparin may lead bleeding complications increased costs we focused on potential savings in cohort of 100 patients who systematically were examined 48 weeks comprising timeframe using bath. Method Stable (n = 100, 30 females, mean age 70...

The effect of penicillin-G on Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the cause of bacterial coldwater disease, was evaluated in 15 min and overnight exposures. Separate tests evaluated the effect of increasing doses of penicillin-G to rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss eggs, fingerlings, and adults. Rainbow trout eggs were exposed for 1 h to penicillin doses of 0, 250, 500, 1000, 10,000, 50,000, or 100,0...

extensive job stress and workload are main causes of frustration and reduced efficiency among workers and despite negative effects of these factors on employees' performance, related studies in rehabilitation staff are limited. the aim of this study was to evaluate job stress, workload and their related factors in rehabilitation staff. in this cross-sectional study, 150 employees in three ...

Oxygen therapy (OT) with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) or normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) improves the oxygenation of penumbral tissue in experimental ischemic stroke. However, whether this results in the improvement of energy metabolism is unclear. We investigated the effect of both OTs on tissue acidosis and on ATP production. Beginning 25 min after filament middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), mice...

Neoplasms of the mammary gland represent the most frequent tumor type in the female dog, and according to the histologic criteria, approximately 50% of them are malignant. In the most aggressive cases of mammary cancer, surgery is not enough to warrant a favorable outcome, and adjuvant therapies are needed to improve the patient's overall survival. The aim of the present study was to evaluate t...
