Lesion-directed and field-directed therapies are used to treat actinic keratosis (AK). Therapeutic approaches that combine both types of therapies may improve the successful elimination of AKs. A randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of topical field treatment with ingenol mebutate gel, 0.015%, after cryosurgery to AKs on the face an...

Gametophyte-to-sporophyte transition in the haploid-diploid life cycle depends on fertilization of male and female gametes. We describe here a mutant marine red seaweed Neopyropia yezoensis, designated akasusabi (aks), where gametophyte-to-sporophyte occurs independently fertilization. Although conchocelis filaments were produced from carpospores, severe defects maturation carposporangia via mi...

BACKGROUND There are no available studies that assess and compare knowledge of childhood asthma among subjects living in different European countries. The objective of this study was to determine knowledge of childhood asthma among first year nursing students during the first week of their training in three European countries. The participants' sources of information and other factors that migh...

The severity of dysplasia and expression of p53 in actinic keratosis (AK) is of importance for the transformation to squamous cell carcinoma. It is assumed that it is most important to treat thick AKs as they are believed to be more dysplastic than thin AKs. However, a relation between AK thickness and dysplasia or the expression of p53 has never been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to ...

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) reaction was based on the oxidizing reaction of luminol by the trivalent copper-periodate complex (K5[Cu(HIO6)2], DPC) in alkaline medium. The CL intensity could be enhanced in the presence of amikacin sulfate (AKS). A new CL method was developed for the determination of AKS by coupling with flow injection (FI) technology. Because of the distinctive oxidative effe...

ObjectiveOur point is to determine if the treatment of the 3 degree burn wounds makes any difference if sprayed cultured autologous keratinocyte used alone or in combination with Fibrin glue. DesignAnimal experimental study. Animals30 male Wistar rats. ProceduresThirty male Wistar rats were selected and their keratinocytes were isolated and cultured from small skin biopsy. Rats were divided ran...

There is a paucity of data regarding the normal anatomical variations of the aortic knob (AK) on routine postero-anterior chest radiographs (PACR). The aims of the present study were to document and analyze the anatomical variations of the AK on PACRs’ in an adult Indian population. This was a crosssectional study of PACRs’ in a tertiary care hospital with attached medical college in Bangalore,...

Pontibacter akesuensis strain AKS 1T was found in Akesu, Xinjiang Province, China, and exhibits the extraordinary ability to metabolize various substrates and is resistant to solar radiation. To gain insight into the bacterial genetic determinants for this adaptability, we report the complete genome sequence of strain AKS 1T.
