BACKGROUND The 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) management guidelines for adult patients with differentiated thyroid cancer propose the use of the modified initial risk stratification and response to therapy re-stratification systems. This study was conducted to validate the practicality of the revised guidelines for predicting tumor recurrence in patients with differentiated thyroid can...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are several reports that have studied the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on cerebral blood flow (CBF). However, most of the reports have been of animal experiments, and human studies are few so far. The aim of this study is to clarify the relationship between HBO and CBF in humans. METHODS Middle cerebral arterial blood flow velocity (MCV) was measured using t...

ata-kuh forest, a preserved area within hyrcanian relict forests, with an area of 700 ha is located in north of iran. based on floristic studies from 2011 through 2012, 194 vascular plant species were identified belonging to 143 genera and 66 families. among our samples, 24 taxa were endemic to hyrcanian area. the largest families in the area were rosaceae (10.3 %), poaceae (9.7 %), asteraceae ...

Commercial-grade aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) inhibits poly(A), poly(C) and viral RNA-directed DNA synthesis by detergent-disrupted virions of Moloney murine leukemia virus. Paper chromatography of crude ATA yields two active components, which appear to behave identically, and at least two inactive components. The concentration of ATA needed to inhibit polymerase activity is proportional to th...

Doughnuts made from cowpea, a highly nutritious pulse, are frequently consumed in West Africa. As processing may affect their nutritional composition, cowpea into two doughnut types (ata and ata-doco) was characterized, samples collected 12 producers Cotonou, Benin. Proximate folate, mineral, phytate, alpha-galacto-oligosaccharide contents were determined the raw material, intermediate products...

A green analytical method was developed for separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of copper from aqueous samples using aurin tricarboxylic acid-immobilized silica gel (ATA-SG). This was done by determining chemical speciation and stability constant of Cu-ATA complex. The pH-metric studies indicate strong complexation of Cu with ATA (log βCu2ATA = 19.56). Species distribution curve fo...

Aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) has been shown to inhibit the replication of viruses from several different families, including human immunodeficiency virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, and the coronavirus causing severe acute respiratory syndrome. This study characterizes the inhibitory effect of ATA on vaccinia virus replication in HeLa, Huh7, and AD293 cells. Vaccinia virus replication is sign...

The non-specific endonuclease inhibitor, aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA), attenuated glutamate-induced destruction of cultured cortical neurons. In part, this protective effect likely reflected the ability of ATA to produce a slowly developing block of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-mediated inward whole cell current or increase in intracellular free Ca2+. However, ATA also attenuated a high K(+)-...

This paper investigates Kamp-like and Büchi-like theorems for 1-clock Alternating Timed Automata (1-ATA) and its natural subclasses. A notion of 1-ATA with loop-free-resets is defined. This automaton class is shown to be expressively equivalent to the temporal logic RatMTL which is MTL[FI] extended with a regular expression guarded modality. Moreover, a subclass of future timed MSO with k-varia...
