The dinuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni2LmClO4] + , where Lm represents a 24-membered macrocyclic hexaaza-dithiophenolate ligand, reacts with 5-(4-pyridyl)tetrazole (PyrCN4H) to give the [Ni2Lm(PyrCN4)]+ . new was both isolated as perchlorate or tetraphenylborate salts and characterised by elemental analysis IR spectroscopy. structure of [Ni2Lm(PyrCN4)]BPh4 ⋅ MeCN determined single crystal X-ray d...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular risk assessment is usually based on traditional risk factors and risk assessment algorithms. However, a number of risk markers that might provide additional predictive power have been identified. Endothelial function determined by digital reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) and carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) have both been proposed as...

OBJECTIVE Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT), a regional fat depot that surrounds the heart, is associated with an unfavorable cardiometabolic risk factor profile. The associations among PAT, cardiometabolic risk factors, and coronary artery calcification (CAC) and abdominal aortic artery calcification (AAC) in African American populations have not been explored. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A t...

o bjectives: pneumatized articular eminence or tubercle (pat) is an air cell cavity in the zygomatic process of the temporal bone. pneumatization of articular eminence may be seen incidentally on panoramic radiographs (pr) as a unilocular or multilocular, radiolucent defect. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and the pattern of pat on pr in an iranian population. materials and m...

Patulin (PAT) is a mycotoxin produced by certain species of Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Byssochlamys. Previous studies demonstrated its cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic effects in different cell lines. However, there is little information available concerning its toxic behavior in vivo. In the present study, we investigated PAT-induced hepatotoxicity and genotoxicity in mice. We also inves...

OBJECTIVES One major subject of discussion in sleep studies is whether bursts of K-complexes (K-bursts) and delta waves (D-bursts), expressions of a subcortical arousal, truly reflect an arousal response during sleep. To address this question we studied the changes in heart rate (HR) during spontaneous arousals in healthy subjects. METHODS Twenty-seven healthy adults were examined. Arousals w...
