We herein report a rare occurrence of Addison's disease caused by acute adrenal gland tuberculosis occurring in association with miliary tuberculosis and the administration of rifampicin. An 82-year-old woman with miliary tuberculosis was treated with antituberculous chemotherapeutic agents including rifampicin (RFP), but she still demonstrated general malaise in addition to hyponatremia. Abdom...

The relationship between the edge toroidal field Bt and rotation of spatial structure visible light emitted from reversed pinch (RFP) plasmas is reported. captured by a high-speed camera attached to horizontal viewing port RELAX, which was designed for RFP experiments. It found that velocity direction depend on Bt. In non-reversal case, rotates in co-current direction, while counter-current rev...

RET finger protein (RFP) belongs to the large B-box RING finger protein family and is known to become oncogenic by fusion with RET tyrosine kinase. Although RFP is reported to be a nuclear protein that is present in the nuclear matrix, its function is largely unknown. Here we show that RFP interacts with Enhancer of Polycomb (EPC) and strongly represses the gene transcription. Yeast two-hybrid ...

Fish muscles are classified into white and red muscles, and the chemical composition of the two fish muscles have many differences. Few reports have assessed the health-promoting functions of white fish muscle proteins (WFP) and red fish muscle proteins (RFP). We therefore evaluated the mechanisms underlying the alteration of lipid profiles and cholesterol metabolism following the intake of WFP...

MreB is a structural membrane-associated protein which is one of the key components of the bacterial cytoskeleton. Although it plays an important role in shape maintenance of rod-like bacteria, the understanding of its mechanism of action is still not fully understood. This study shows how segmented flow and microdroplet technology can be used as a new tool for biological in vitro investigation...

A very popular theory circulating among non-scientific communities claims that the massive deployment of Base Stations (BSs) over territory, a.k.a. cellular network densification, always triggers an uncontrolled and exponential increase human exposure to Radio Frequency "Pollution" (RFP). To face such concern in a way can be understood by layman, this work we develop simple model compute RFP, b...

This study evaluated the effect of restrictive filling pattern (RFP) on 5-year outcomes in patients following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A hundred STEMI patients treated either by rescue or primary percutaneous coronary intervention with an echocardiogram performed within 6 weeks of STEMI comprised the study group. Creatinine kinase (CK) and left ventricular ejection fr...

Paucibacillary cases of leprosy are now routinely being treated with two drugs, namely rifampicin (RFP) and diarnino diphenyl sulphone (DDS) . We report here a paucibacillary case of borderline-tuberculoid (BT) leprosy, who had taken a one-year course of daily RFP monotherapy, and relapsed as BT five years after the release from treatment. Mycobacterium Zeprae derived from this case was sensiti...
