Abstract Background RLS-0071 is a novel 15 amino acid peptide dual-targeting anti-inflammatory inhibitor of complement and neutrophil effectors. inhibits classical pathway activation at C1 blocks the enzymatic activity myeloperoxidase that leads to generation hypochlorous induces NETosis. This being developed for treatment neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) neutrophilic pulmonary di...

purpose: since explosive blasts continue to cause casualties in both civil and military environments, there is a need for an understanding of the mechanisms of blast trauma at the human organ level, plus a more detailed predictive methodology. the primary goal of this research was to develop a finite element model capable of predicting primary blast injury to the lung so as to assist in the dev...

background reversibility of advanced fibrosis after hcv-clearance is an important goal of therapy. objectives measuring liver stiffness (ls) by transient elastography (te) might be helpful in this setting. patients and methods we evaluated 104 patients with biopsy-proven chronic hepatitis c (chc) and sustained virological response (svr) after peg-interferon (ifn) plus ribavirin since at least 1...

in this research, an apparatus was made and utilized to determine the friction coeffi-cient of chickpea grains on steel surfaces. experiments were carried out on two black and galvanized surfaces and at four sliding velocities of 5, 20, 100 and 500 mm/min, at three moisture content of 7.5%, 15% and 21% wet basis (w.b.) and at three vertical pressure values of 14.28, 100 and 150 kpa. the followi...

Consolidated-drained triaxial compression tests were conducted to compare the stress-strain and volume change response of sands and clayey sands reinforced with discrete randomly distributed poly-propylene fibers. The influence of various test parameters such as fiber content (0.0%, 0.5% and 1.0% by weight), clay content (0%, 10% and 20% by weight), relative density (50% and 90%) and confining ...

Abstract Introduction Circadian health is increasingly recognized for the contributions it makes to general health. Few instruments assessing circadian rhythms have been translated into Spanish, however. The present study describes a Spanish translation of Energy Scale (CIRENS). instrument was designed according language norms those living along US-Mexico border by bilingual research team. CIRE...
