Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is widely considered as a degenerative complication of diabetic patients. The clinical effectiveness of folic acid (FA) on DPN is uncertain. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of FA in DPN using electromyography (EMG), histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry, inclined plane test, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as a m...

OBJECTIVE To determine if a physics-based combination of simultaneous static and time-varying dynamic magnetic field stimulation to the wrist 4 hours/day for 2 months can reduce subjective neuropathic pain and influence objective electrophysiologic parameters of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of 36 symptomatic hands. Pr...

Learning metabolic pathways is vital for understanding biochemical processes and all of their implications life. Their learning in the virtual environment complex generative strategies, such as construction online conceptual maps, can help this process. This article presents a proposal collaborative concept maps on metabolism by students CMap Cloud browser application (free). A sequence steps s...

We propose to develop an understanding of the basic principles that give sustenance and consistency to the comprehension of a historic structure, under axles of thematic structure. In this case, the thematic structure is based in a disciplinary approach, in which some of the basic scientific disciplines [astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology, biology and social sciences (anthropology, history,...

MaizeDB (http://www.agron.missouri.edu/) has existed since the early 90's as a genomespecific database that is grounded in genetic maps, their documentation and annotation. The database management system is robust and has continuously been Sybase. In this brief review we provide an introduction to the database as a functional genomics tool and new accesses to the data: 1) probe tables by bin lo...

This study primarily aimed to investigate the combined effects of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) sequences on regenerative processes in atrophied animal muscles. Thirty male New Zealand rabbits, aged 12 weeks, were divided into five groups: normal saline (Group 1), PDRN 2), ESWT 3), injection before 4), after 5). After 2 weeks cast immobilization, re...
