Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common skin disease that causes physical and psychological problems for affected individual. In addition to systemic changes in hormone levels, overproduction of local steroids, especially androgens are associated with AV. Cytochrome (CYP) 19 is involved in the synthesis of estrogens. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of CYP19A

[1] Modern dusts across southwestern United States deserts are compositionally similar to dust-rich Av soil horizons (depths of 0–0.5 cm and 1–4 cm at 35 sites) for common crustal elements but distinctly different for some trace elements. Chemical compositions and magnetic properties of the soil samples are similar among sites relative to dust sources, geographic areas, and lithologic substrate...

This paper shows the relevance of measurement theory for the linguistic analysis of comparative statements. In particular, the paper focusses on interadjective comparatives like ‘x is P -er than y is Q’ and comparatives involving multidimensional adjectives. It is argued that Bale’s (2008) recent proposal to account for such comparatives is rather limited, and just one way to account for intera...

Bresnan (1973) posited that more is uniformly analyzed as much-er, whether it appears with adjectives (more intelligent, redder) or nouns (more soup). On the earliest degree-semantic analysis of such constructions, much appears but is semantically inert: it serves to morphologically mark the presence of the degree argument which is introduced by adjectives and nouns (Cresswell 1976). I present ...

introduction: ouabaine is a well-known atrioventricular (av) node depressant agent, but its effects on functional properties of the av node have not been cleared. the aim of the present study was to determine how ouabaine administration modifies the rate-dependent properties of the av node. methods: selective stimulation protocols were used to quantify independently electrophysiological propert...

introduction: electrophysiological studies have demonstrated a relationship between aging and atrioventricular (av) nodal conduction and refractoriness. the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of nodal aging on dynamic av nodal field potential recording during atrial fibrillation (af) in rabbit. methods: two groups of male new zealand rabbits (neonatal 2-week-olds and adult 12...

This study investigates neural processes underlying audiovisual perception of a non-native vowel contrast using fMRI. Eight native Japanese and eight native English speakers participated in the study. The two-alternative forced choice task was to identify which vowel was present in the CVC English word presented under audiovisual (AV) and audio only (AO) conditions. Three sessions were conducte...

introduction: the aim of the present study was to determine direct effects of no modulation on protective electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular node (av node) in the experimental model of af in rabbit. methods: isolated perfused rabbit av nodal preparations were used in two groups. in the first group (n=7), lname (50μm) was applied. in the second group (n=12), different concentrat...
