PURPOSE Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) is an herbal extract attained from 5 different plants. It has the therapeutic potential to be used for the management of external hemorrhage and controlling gastrointestinal bleedings. To date, the safety of ABS for intraperitoneal usage is not clear. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness and safety of using intraperitoneal ABS in an experimental ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of autoantibodies (Abs) to tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) in patients with different autoimmune diseases and to analyse their respective epitopes. DESIGN TPH and AADC Abs were measured in an immunoprecipitation assay using (35)S-labelled full-length and fragments of TPH and AADC. METHODS Patients with different ...

OBJECTIVES To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of antibiotics (ABs) use and misuse among adults living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to participants from  March 2016 to January 2017 in the outpatient department of King Khalid University Hospital and Dental Hospital, King Saud University, Riyadh, Sau...

A new hybrid fabrication technique was introduced to manufacture composite laminates made of glass fiber, carbon and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as the matrix. The process utilized two different techniques: fused deposition modeling hot press molding. were produced using five layers fibers form fiber-reinforced composites (GF/ABS) fiber (GF/CF/ABS), with three fibers. fabricated subje...

Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) is a novel topical hemostatic agent. ABS-induced formation of the protein network with vital erythroid aggregation covers the entire physiological hemostatic process. ABS has pleiotropic cellular, proteomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic effects. ABS also affects the expression of important hemostatic molecules namely PAR-1, EPCR and PAI-1. The aim of this study w...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the surgical and histopathological hemostatic effects of topical Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) on major arterial vessel injury related to elevated intra-arterial blood pressure in an experimental rabbit model. METHODS The study included 14 New Zealand rabbits. ABS was used to treat femoral artery puncture on 1 side in each animal and the other untr...

ABS methods are a large class of methods, based upon the Egervary rank reducing algebraic process, rst introduced in 1984 by Aba y, Broyden and Spedicato for solving linear algebraic systems, and later extended to nonlinear algebraic equations, to optimization problems and other elds; software based upon ABS methods is now under development. Current ABS literature consists of about 400 papers. ...

We study Andreev bound states (ABS) and the resulting charge transport of a Rashba superconductor (RSC) where two-dimensional semiconductor (2DSM) heterostructures are sandwiched by spin-singlet s-wave superconductor and ferromagnet insulator. ABS becomes a chiral Majorana edge mode in the topological phase (TP). We clarify two types of quantum criticality about the topological change of ABS ne...
