patients per year depend on HD (2). It is estimated that worldwide more than 2 million people suffer from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that requires HD. It is predicted that this number will continue to increase, making ESRD a significant public health issue (3). Chronic pruritus (CP) is a frequent but often overlooked symptom in HD (4) that affects patients' well-being and reduces the qualit...

BACKGROUND The average age for the diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) is 19 months. Recent neuroplasticity literature suggests that intensive, task-specific intervention ought to commence as early as possible and in an enriched environment, during the critical period of neural development. Active motor interventions are effective in some populations, however the effects of active motor interventi...

Fifteen healthy male volunteers (in four groups) received single 1 h i.v. infusions of alatrofloxacin (CP-116,517) equivalent to 30, 100, 200 or 300 mg of its active metabolite, trovafloxacin (CP-99,219). Blood and urine were sampled over 73 and 72 h, respectively, and plasma levels of alatrofloxacin and serum concentrations of trovafloxacin were determined by HPLC with UV detection. Alatroflox...

A short introduction into the phenomenology of CP aaym-metries in beauty (and Do) decays is given. Different experimental environments are briefly compared and some aemi-quantitative estimates listed. actual value of the top mass is not known. Therefore, we will present remi-quantitative scenarios that can successively be refined when more data and a better theoretical understanding become avai...

An overview is presented of the talks in the working group on Goldstone Bosons. Topics touched on are CP-violation in the Kaon system, rare Kaon decays, ππscattering, φ-meson decays, scalar mesons, form-factors and polarizabilities, ηdecays, chiral symmetry breaking, connections with QCD at short-distances and effective theories for electroweak physics.

We review some recent theoretical results on rare kaon decays. Particular attention is devoted to establish the short distance (direct CP violating) contribution to KL → πee. This is achieved by a careful study of the long distance part. As byproduct, we discuss interesting chiral tests.

Within the framework of Standard Model, the exclusive decay mode B → πγγ is studied. Although the usual short distance contribution is small compared to the similar B → Kγγ mode, the process offers the possibility of studying the CP violation, a feature absent in the B → K counterpart.

Background and purpose: The 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) are phenolic compounds which may have adverse effects on human and environment. Therefore, removing these compounds from water and wastewater is necessary. This study aims to analyze 2-CP and 4-CP removal by using Azolla filiculoides biomass. Materials & Methods: Azolla biomass was sun dried, crushed and sieved to parti...
