Curcumin (CCM) is an important molecule for achieving cancer theranostics because CCM is a naturally-occurring biocompatible material that exhibits both anticancer activity and strong fluorescence property that can be used for bio-imaging. However, CCM has never been utilized in clinical trials due to its extremely low water solubility, its rapid hydrolysis in aqueous conditions at neutral pH, ...

Following the success of CORBA based systems the OMG has standardized the CORBA Component Model (CCM) to improve the implementation process of large distributed systems. The European project COACH [16] has been set up to build an Open Source development platform to construct CCM applications. As part of COACH a toolset for CCM components and system testing has been defined and implemented. This...

This study aimed to elucidate the mode of action of curcumin (CCM) as an anticancer agent, and to investigate its effects on the proliferation and induction of apoptosis in HT29 human colon cancer cells. We examined the effect of CCM on two cysteine protease families, namely caspases and calpains, which are known to induce apoptosis in a number of cancer cells. We demonstrated that CCM reduces ...

PURPOSE OF STUDY The has reduced payments to hospitals that have excessive readmissions. This mandate has made it imperative for hospitals to implement a plan to manage readmissions and transitions of care for patients they serve. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether an advanced practice, nurse-led, community-based model is effective in reducing acute health care utilization. PR...

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a common chronic disease that requires much care. This study aimed to explore the effects of collaborative care model (CCM) on patients with CHF. A total of 114 CHF patients were enrolled in this study, and were randomly and equally divided into two groups: control and experimental. Patients in the two groups received either usual care or CCM for 3 continuous mont...

ion of the actual system. We use CCGs to perform a local analysis which, if successful, can determine that the definitions terminate. To do this, we start by assigning calling context measures to contexts in the CCG. 8.4 Calling Context Measures and Termination Definition 8.4.1. Given a calling context, c = 〈f,G, e〉, and a set S ⊆ Val , the set of calling context measures (CCMs) for c over S, d...

BACKGROUND National community-based health worker (CBHW) programs often face challenges in ensuring that these remote workers are adequately trained, equipped and supervised. As governments increasingly deploy CBHWs to improve access to primary health care, there is an urgent need to assess how well health systems are supporting CBHWs to provide high quality care. METHODS This paper presents ...

BACKGROUND In October 2007, manufacturers voluntarily withdrew over-the-counter (OTC) infant cough and cold medications (CCMs) from the US market. A year later, manufacturers announced OTC CCM labeling would be revised to warn against OTC CCM use by children aged <4 years. We determined whether emergency department (ED) visits for CCM adverse drug events (ADEs) declined after these intervention...

CCM is a conventional authenticated-encryption scheme obtained from a 128-bit block cipher. The mechanism has been adopted as the mandatory encryption algorithm in an IEEE 802.11 draft stan­ dard [15], and its use has been proposed more broadly [16, 17]. In this note we point out a number of limitations of CCM. A related note provides an alternative to CCM [5].
