Near-infrared observations of the active galaxy MCG–6-30-15 provide strong evidence that its molecular gas fueling reservoir is of external origin. MCG–6-30-15 has a counter-rotating core of stars within its central 400 pc and a counter-rotating disc of molecular gas that extends as close as∼50–100 pc from the central black hole. The gas counter-rotation establishes that the gas reservoir in th...

Background: Apium graveolens Linn. is one of the oldest medicinal plants which used since ancient time in Unani System of Medicine for the disease of gastrointestinal tract which acts as antispasmodic and carminative activity. The aim of this study was to determine the antispasmodic activity of A. graveolens in Guinea Pigs Ileum against acetylcholine induced contractions. Materials and Methods:...

We study the correspondence between field theoretic and holographic dark energy density of the universe with the modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) respectively both in a flat and non-flat FRW universe. We present an equivalent representation of the MCG with a homogeneous minimally coupled scalar field by constructing the corresponding potential. A new scalar field potential is obtained here which is...

In this paper, we present a proof of concept study which demonstrates for the first time the possibility of recording magnetocardiography (MCG) signals with 4He vector optically pumped magnetometers (OPM) operated in a gradiometer mode. Resulting from a compromise between sensitivity, size and operability in a clinical environment, the developed magnetometers are based on the parametric resonan...

We describe an algorithm for constructing Morse Connection Graphs (MCGs) of Piecewise Constant (PC) vector fields on surfaces. The main novel aspect of our algorithm is its way of dealing with false positives that could arise when computing Morse sets from an inexact graph representation. First, our MCG does not contain trivial Morse sets that may not contain any vector field features, or conta...

Blood lead levels were determined by the method of Hesse/ on over 1,000 psychiatric outpatients. Lead values ranged from 3.8 to 53 mcg% with a mean of 15.6 mcg%. Approximately 6 percent of the patients had lead levels above 25 mcg%. A therapeutic regimen of zinc and ascorbic acid was found to significantly decrease the blood lead level. This treatment also lowers blood copper levels. The heavy ...

Objective: The purpose of this work is to examine the usefulness of the topological approach for analysis of current density maps during ST-T interval in detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with proved CAD but normal results of routine tests. Materials and Methods: The patient group included 123 patients. Coronary angiography was done due to chest pain. The control group cons...

BACKGROUND Ceftazidime-avibactam is ceftazidime combined with the novel non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor avibactam, which inhibits Ambler class A (e.g., extended-spectrum β-lactamase [ESBL] and KPC), class C, and some class D enzymes. We evaluated the activity of ceftazidime-avibactam against aerobic gram negative bacteria causing intra-abdominal infections (IAI). METHODS A total of 1,540 i...

Autotransfused blood is often used as an alternative to banked blood. The fibrinolytic consequences of autotransfused blood are undefined. This prospective study was designed to determine the effect of intraoperative autotransfused blood on fibrinolysis and other coagulation parameters. Ten consecutive patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for open-heart procedures were studied. All ...
