Evidence is presented that ligandin, an intracellular protein involved in the binding of such anions as bilirubin, indocyanine green, and penicillin, is identical to glutathione S-transferase B (EC 2.5.1.18), an enzyme catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione with such electrophiles as 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene, iodomethane, ethacrynic acid, and bromosulfophthale...

Purpose To describe management of residual branch vascular network (BVN) in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) by thermal laser photocoagulation of feeder vessel. Observations Case report of sixty-four year old female with polypoidal choroidal vaculopathy (PCV) with moderate response to seven doses of intravitreal ranibizumab, six doses of intravitreal bevacizumab and one session of phot...

We compared indocyanine green (ICG) and fluorescein angiography for evaluation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Cast preparations of CNV induced in monkey eyes by laser photocoagulation were correlated with ICG and fluorescein angiographies of the same CNV formations. Fluorescein angiography was more effective, in general, than ICG angiography in detecting CNV; however, CNVs with subretin...

HART, LARRY G., ANTHONY M. GUARINO, AND RICHARD H, ADAMSON. Effects of phenobarbital on biliary excretion of organic acids 2*lz male and female rats. Am. J. Physiol. 2 17( 1) : 46-52. 1969.-The effects of phenobarbital pretreatment on the biliary excretion of four organic anions, indocyanine green (ICG), chlorothiazide (CTZ), phenol red, and probenecid, were investigated. Indocyanine green and ...

Recently the authors showed that there is a robust potential theory attached to any calibrated manifold (X, φ). In particular, on X there exist φ-plurisubharmonic functions, φ-convex domains, φ-convex boundaries, etc., all inter-related and having a number of good properties. In this paper we show that, in a strong sense, the plurisubharmonic functions are the polar duals of the φ-submanifolds,...

In this paper, we introduce a novel acceleration method for the calculation of dyadic Green’s functions for the mixed potential integral equation formulation of electromagnetic scattering of scatterers embedded in a multilayered medium. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. c © 2000 Academic Press

Contemporary ecological models of health prominently feature the natural environment as fundamental to the ecosystem services that support human life, health, and well-being. The natural environment encompasses and permeates all other spheres of influence on health. Reviews of the natural environment and health literature have tended, at times intentionally, to focus on a limited subset of ecos...

Let G be a finite group, and R be a commutative ring. This note proposes a generalization to any Green functor for G over R of the construction of the Hochschild cohomology ring HH∗(G,R) from the ordinary cohomology functor H∗(−, R). Another special case is the construction of the crossed Burnside ring of G from the ordinary Burnside functor. The general abstract setting is the following : let ...
