The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of direct-interrupting surgery on gastric mucosal congestion in patients with esophageal varices. Fifteen such patients underwent endoscopy in the preoperative, early postoperative and late postoperative periods. The index of local blood volume (lHb) and that of oxygen saturation (1802) were endoscopically measured using a tissue reflectance sp...

BACKGROUND Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a global health problem that can result in serious complications associated with collagen degradation. Prolidase is a specific imidodipeptidase that plays an important role in the breakdown of collagen. The aim of this study was to investigate prolidase activity and oxidant-antioxidant status in children with CHB. METHODS This prospective case control s...

Analysis of mononuclear cells in the adult mouse liver revealed that B cells represent as much as half of the intrahepatic lymphocyte population. Intrahepatic B cells (IHB cells) are phenotypically similar to splenic B2 cells but express lower levels of CD23 and CD21 and higher levels of CD5. IHB cells proliferate as well as splenic B cells in response to anti-IgM and LPS stimulation in vitro. ...

Abstract. Since workers are increasingly suffering from burnout, there is a need for insights into how burnout can be decreased to improve subjective well-being. The broaden-and-build theory proposes that gratitude increases well-being through an upward spiral. Few studies have examined whether decreases and what mediating behaviors explain this relationship. Using international sample of emplo...

Paenibacillus sp. strain IHB B 3415 is a cellulase-producing psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from a soil sample from the cold deserts of Himachal Pradesh, India. Here, we report an 8.44-Mb assembly of its genome sequence with a G+C content of 50.77%. The data presented here will provide insights into the mechanisms of cellulose degradation at low temperature.

Hewa presents IHB objectives in vigorous terms as the same as "imperial tropical medicine": to protect the health of the colonisers; to maintain the health of the "colonised" as far as their health posed a threat to colonial rulers, or to the viability of colonial economies. Such activities also demonstrated Westem cultural superiority and the backwardness of the "colonised" regarding health an...

This paper is concerned with bifurcation and stability problems of non-linear systems. The attention is focused on parametrically excited non-linear vibrations. A comparison of C—L method with IHB technique is given on the study of local bifurcations. It is shown that the two methods give qualitatively equivalent bifurcation diagrams.

Performance management systems (PMS) are essential instruments for the evidence-based of on-site production within industrialized housebuilding (IHB) sector. The information required more decision-making is determined by business strategies and should be reflected in design PMS. aim this study to clarify, report on analyze influence which different strategic orientations have For purpose, a mul...

Considering the advantages of energy conservation and reducing construction skill requirement workers, a new type interlocking hollow block using recycled aggregates concrete (IHB-RAC) with compressive strength up to 10 Mpa was proposed, which could help improve more than 56% efficiency compared commonly used blocks. In order study mechanical properties promote application this in building engi...

Amaç: Yenidoğan döneminde görülen indirekt hiperbilirubinemi (İHB) sıklıkla fizyolojik olmakla birlikte şiddetli hiperbilirubinemiye bağlı nörolojik hasar gelişebilir. Bu çalışmada, yenidoğan servisine sadece İHB nedeni ile yatırılarak tedavi edilen term yenidoğanların genel özellikleri, eşlik eden hastalıkları, nedenleri ve uygulanan tedaviler açısından değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereçle...
