INTRODUCTION Satisfaction with training and with educational experiences represents important internal medicine (IM) programmatic goals. Graduates from IM residency programs are uniquely poised to provide insights into their educational and training experiences and to assess whether these experiences were satisfactory and relevant to their current employment. METHODS We surveyed former IM res...

the response to stat epi IM, number of delayed SRs, the dose of epi IM versus BMI and the World Allergy Organization (WAO) Grade (1-5) of the SRs. Methods: SRs were compiled from 07/2010 to 06/2011 to P and ID tests for any combination of approximately 20 allergens (pollens, animal emanations, molds and Hymenoptera) in 1,332 subjects. Nurses administered stat epi IM (1:1000 v/v), 0.2 mg IM, int...

The chemopreventive efficacy of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and indomethacin (IM) alone or in combination was investigated in a rat multiorgan carcinogenesis model. These two chemicals were selected as chemopreventive agents with different functions. Animals were sequentially given five carcinogens with different organ target sites in the first 4-week initiation period. One week after its com...

In this study, the performance of male pigs immunized against GnRH was determined in relation to the onset of their biological response to the immunization. Pigs were immunized at 9 and 17 wk of age and were housed in a pen together with both a surgically castrated and an intact boar littermate. Feed intake was restricted to 2.8 to 3.2 times maintenance requirement for energy. Animals were weig...

Background This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chronic exposure to imidacloprid (IM) insecticide on male testicular tissue, sperm morphology and testosterone levels in the serum of mature male rats. MaterialsAndMethods Animals were divided into and control-sham groups. The test group was subdivided into two groups of rats which were administered doses of 225 and 112 mg/kg IM per ...

Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) have a similar behavior under compression and tension loadings. Therefore, they can be applied as a favorable lateral load resisting system for structures. In the performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) framework, an intermediate variable called intensity measure (IM) links the seismic hazard analysis with the structural response analyses. An optimal IM...

Ziel der Arbeit war die Evaluation von Registrierstrategien mit einem neuen Navigationssystems (Fiagon GmbH) im Bereich der lateralen Schädelbasis. Der bisherige klinische Einsatz beschränkte sich auf das Gebiet der Nasennebenhöhlen. Das Navigationssystem integriert sich in den Endoskopieturm, der Magnetfeldgenerator ist in die Kopfstütze des Operationstisches eingebaut. Der an der Instrumenten...

BACKGROUND Premalignant Barrett's oesophagus (BO) and gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) show phenotypic variability. Incompletely differentiated sulfomucin rich gastric IM (type III) may have increased malignant potential. The types of sulfated oligosaccharide structures present in IM, BO, and colon have not been fully characterised. AIMS To compare sulfo-Lewis(a) epitope tissue distribution...
