BACKGROUND Long-term studies of smokers who switch to lower nicotine yield cigarettes have been identified by the World Health Organization Study Group TobReg and the US Food and Drug Administration as one key area where new knowledge is required to guide science based regulation. The limited number of long-term switching studies have concluded that smokers who switch to lower nicotine yield ci...

The aim of this paper is to discuss how everyday life changes for the family in the event of chronic illness or disability. It changes physically due to loss of body function and socially due to time and other constraints related to treatment or lack of mobility. Equally important, there is a psychological impact due to the uncertainty of the future. The article will explore how family particip...

Different symptoms in Climacteric period, includes hot flash. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is common therapy for relief of menopausal symptoms but has possible contraindications and side effects. Recently Piascledine (combination of Avocado oil with Soybean oil) showed effects in reducing hot flash severity. Present study designed to compare the effects of HRT with Piascledine in treatment...

Abstract Ethylene is a key trigger that governs the rate of fruit ripening, storability, and postharvest quality fresh fruit. Efficient inhibition ethylene action essential to slow down ripening processes, extend storage life maintain optimum during storage. antagonist compounds with likelihood application as liquid formulation would facilitate managing broadly both preharvest and/or treatments...

This study is to verify the effects of the Korean Dance Program for rural middle-aged women on their total cholesterol, triglyceride and climacteric symptoms. In this study, 'Harmony‘, one of the sub-programs of the Korean Dance Program which was developed at Seoul National University Institute Ageing of Woorichum Gymnastics was applied. It was composed of 13 actions and music. Nonequivalent co...

Ripening of fleshy fruits is a complex process that involves dramatic changes in color, texture, flavor, and aroma, which is essentially regulated by multiple hormone signals. Although the metabolic mechanisms for the regulation of fruit development and ripening have been studied extensively, little is known about the signaling mechanisms underlying this process. FERONIA has been increasingly s...

In contrast to climacteric fruits, where ethylene is known to be pivotal, the regulation of ripening in non-climacteric fruits is not well understood. In the non-climacteric strawberry (Fragaria anannassa), auxin and abscisic acid (ABA) are thought to be important, but the roles of other hormones suggested to be involved in fruit development and ripening are not clear. Here changes in the level...
