purpose: to investigate the levels of klotho and endothelin-1(et-1) in plasma and aqueous humor in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (pes). methods: fifteen individuals with pes and 15 age-matched subjects without pes who were scheduled for cataract extraction participated in the study. samples of aqueous humor and peripheral blood were taken in the operating room just before cataract su...

an innovative method based on the membrane bioreactor (mbr) technology was developed as a potential remedy for the water shortage. mbrs attracted much attention in the field of wastewater treatment and reuse. it is reported from many researchers that membrane bioreactor technology is feasible and an efficient method for the treatment of wastewater. however, mbrs are faced to membrane fouling whic...

BACKGROUND The incidence and mechanisms of acute and late stent malapposition after primary stent implantation in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS The Harmonizing Outcomes with Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction (HORIZONS-AMI) trial was a dual-arm, factorial, randomized trial comparing paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) and o...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare clinical outcomes and angiographic findings using the Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stent (R-ZES) (Medtronic, Santa Rosa, California) versus the Taxus Liberte paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) (Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts) in an all-comer Chinese population. BACKGROUND Concerns regarding restenosis risk led to new-generation drug-eluting stents...

Post-error slowing (PES) is an error recovery strategy that contributes to action control, and occurs after errors in order to prevent future behavioral flaws. Error recovery often malfunctions in clinical populations, but the relationship between behavioral traits and recovery from error is unclear in healthy populations. The present study investigated the relationship between impulsivity and ...

Oxalis pes-caprae f. pleniflora (Lowe) Sunding (Oxalidaceae), a naturalized invasive alien is recorded for the first time from Turkey. It has staminodes and double petals as different properties from Oxalis pes-caprae L. Sympatric variations occured in the species populations could be the result of an accumulation of mutations or genome rearrangement. Invasive alien weed Oxalis pes-caprae and i...
