At the present time, the abuse of all class of sport nutritional supplements (NS) has extended the people who go regularly to gymnasiums. Between these substances there are the Protein Powder Supplements (PPS). The purpose of this study is to examine the consumption of PPS in 415 individuals from Seville fitness centers. All individuals were evaluated with anthropometric measurements and comple...

Bladder cancer is one of the most malignant tumors closely associated with macrophages. Polyporus polysaccharide (PPS) has shown excellent efficacy in treating bladder cancer with minimal side effects. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of PPS in inhibiting bladder cancer remain unclear. In this study, we used macrophages cultured alone or with T24 human bladder cancer cel...

BACKGROUND The effects of first-line chemoradiotherapy on overall survival (OS) may be confounded by subsequent lines of therapy in patients with limited-stage disease small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC). Therefore, we aimed to determine the relationships between progression-free survival (PFS), post-progression survival (PPS) and OS after first-line chemoradiotherapy in LD-SCLC patients. PATIEN...

We present in this article a pseudopotential (PP) database for DFT calculations in the context of the SIESTA code [1-3]. Comprehensive optimized PPs in two formats (psf files and input files for ATM program) are provided for 20 chemical elements for LDA and GGA exchange-correlation potentials. Our data represents a validated database of PPs for SIESTA DFT calculations. Extensive transferability...

Postpneumonectomy syndrome (PPS) is a rare late complication of pneumonectomy. It occurs more often in children than in adults, and is characterized by respiratory failure resulting from bronchial compression caused by severe mediastinal shift. Various methods have been used to treat PPS, including aortopexy and the insertion of plastic balls, silastic implants, and saline-filled breast prosthe...

Obwohl die durchgängige DV-Unterstützung der Planung und Steuerung von Geschäftsprozessen in der Produktion bereits vor 15 Jahren proklamiert wurde, ist deren heutiger Realisierungsstand unbefriedigend. Mit Workflowmanagement (WFM) findet sich hierzu ein vielversprechender Ansatz aus dem Office Management. WFM wird im Rahmen der Produktionsplanung und -steuerung (PPS) allerdings nur wenig beach...

The discussion of this research paper may represent the starting point of the debate about the influence of sleep disorders on fatigue perception. These authors observed in a small cohort of patients with paralytic poliomyelitis (PP) and post-polio syndrome (PPS) a significant circadian variation of subjective fatigue evaluated by means of a validated scale. These authors showed a progressive w...

Pocket-sized urban parks may contribute to more widely distributing the advantages created by in neighborhoods, allowing citizens benefit frequently from park environments. Notwithstanding their several benefits, including citizens’ psychological, physiological and physical well-being; possibilities for recreational activities; improved economic attractiveness of a neighborhood, pocket (PPs) ar...

The present study was designed to determine whether the trigeminal sensory nuclear complex (TSNC) is involved in angina-induced referred pain in the trigeminal nerve territory and to identify the peripheral nerve conducting nociceptive signals that are input into the TSNC. Following application of the pain producing substance (PPS) infusion, the number of Fos-labeled cells increased significant...
