A growing number of physicians study complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Limited data are available on perspectives of physicians with dual training in conventional medicine and CAM, on issues of communication and collaboration with CAM practitioners (CAMPs). Questionnaires were administered to primary care physicians employed in the largest health maintenance organization (HMO) in Is...

Autophosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-kinase II) induces a striking >1,000-fold increase in its affinity for CaM, which has been called CaM trapping. Two peptides modeled after the CaM binding domain of CaM-kinase II were previously shown to kinetically resemble CaM binding to phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms of the enzyme, thus providing a model...

Calmodulin (CaM) and phosphatidylinositide-3 kinase (PI3Kα) are well known for their multiple roles in a series of intracellular signaling pathways and in the progression of several human cancers. Crosstalk between CaM and PI3Kα has been an area of intensive research. Recent experiments have shown that in adenocarcinoma, K-Ras4B is involved in the CaM-PI3Kα crosstalk. Based on experimental resu...

In this paper, the effect of reclaimed rubber modification on the rheological characteristics of asphalt binders is studied. Reclaimed rubber with the extent of 12, 16 and 20 is added to the neat asphalt binder and then shear complex modulus is obtained for neat and modified asphalt binder via Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test. Using Christensen-Anderson- Marasteanu (CAM) model, master curves ...

The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) is the atmosphere component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM), and is the largest consumer of computing resources in typical CCSM simulations. The parallel implementation of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) employs a number of different domain decompositions. Currently, each decomposition must utilize the same number of MPI processes, limiting...

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in pediatrics has become widespread. Parents of young children with developmental and behavioral problems such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are particularly drawn to CAM interventions to avoid or decrease use of psychotropic medications. This paper reviews the epidemiology of CAM use for ADHD, describes a conceptual m...

conclusions this study revealed the noticeable popularity of cam in patients suffering from chronic rheumatologic diseases, mostly due to their dissatisfaction with conventional treatments. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, 100 randomly selected patients, with different diseases, were questioned about demographic data, disease duration, the type of cam used, reasons, visit int...

CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) therapies have become increasingly  popular in pediatric populations. phytotherapy are the most common CAM used in children. Yet, little is known about children’s preferences for CAM. But It is expected to become more widely integrated into the modern medical system, including the medical curriculum.The aim of this study is to introduce the prevalenc...
