objective(s): alzheimer’s disease (ad) as progressive cognitive decline and the most common form of dementia is due to degeneration of the cholinergic neurons in the brain. therefore, administration of the acetylcholinesterase (ache) inhibitors such as donepezil is the first choice for treatment of the ad. in the present study, we focused on the synthesis and anti-cholinesterase evaluation of n...

We report a case of multiple fistulae in ano [8 external openings] in a 45-yrs-old man, who had a history of episodes of pain and pus discharge from openings around the anus since 4 years. Biopsy from the tract of one of the fistula confirmed tubercular infection. He underwent radiofrequency fistulotomy using a Ellman radiofrequency device along with anti-tubercular treatment, which resulted in...

As I have noted, these calculations yield the expected observed accuracy of S s and S c , counting a prediction model as successful when its predictions match the apparent class of new objects. To calculate the accuracy of these strategies in predicting the true class of new objects, simply let n 0 c =0. 8 Acknowledgements Thanks to Tom Ellman, who suggested viewing noise as a model shift in th...

Purpose of the study . Evaluation antioxidant status and DNA damage in tissues subcutaneous xenografts non-small cell lung cancer peritumoral created using A549 H1299 cultures. Materials methods The included 35 intact male Balb/c Nude immunodeficient mice. Cell lines were used as transplantable tumor biomaterial. A CDX model was accordance with protocol for supratentorial injections (Ozawa T., ...

The purpose of the present study was to employ two methods-square wave voltammetry (SWV) performed on screen printed sensors and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)-as suitable tools for the assay of low-molecular-weight antioxidants (LMWAs). LMWAs were assayed by both methods and the resulting data were statistically compared. Plasma samples from five Cinereous vultures accidentally intox...

Factors such as oxidative stress and reduced acetylcholine level have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology and recently there has been a trend towards natural product research to find potential sources of antioxidants and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in the plants kingdom. Centaurea is a genus with about 500 species world wild, many of them have shown to possess bio...

OBJECTIVE To introduce a new simple surgical approach with high-frequency radio-wave electrosurgery to reduce conjunctivochalasis (CCh). DESIGN Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series analysis. PARTICIPANTS Twelve patients (20 eyes) with CCh were recruited from the outpatient service of the Department of Ophthalmology, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, Seoul, Korea. METHODS On the...

The characteristic cutaneous rheumatoid nodule, described fully by Collins (1937) and Bennett, Zeller, and Bauer (1940), is composed of a central area of fibrinoid necrosis around which develops an encircling corona of closely packed mesenchymal cells, the great majority of which appear to be fibroblasts (Collins, 1937), and external to this is a zone of inflammatory tissue. Lesions with simila...
