Klíčová slova oligoklonální pásy – mozkomíšní mok – IgG index – roztroušená skleróza Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between IgG index values and the number of the oligoclonal IgG bands (OCB) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Material and Methods: The set of 150 patients consisted of 41 males and 109 females (aged ...

The title compound, C21H25NO, is a member of a well known family of liquid crystals (4-oxy-4'-cyanobiphenyls, OCBs) and packs in lamellar-type bilayers in the solid state, through CN...H hydrogen bonds. This packing type is analogous to that found of other members of the n-OCB homologous series, viz. 7-OCB and 9-OCB.

It has been suggested that this weight loss could be due to a hypermetabolic state resulting from the increased oxygen cost of breathing (OCB). To clarify the relation between resting energy expenditure (REE), nutritional state, and OCB these indices were measured in ...

This study analyzed ethical and unethical behaviors in the Chinese public sector, and tested hypotheses concerning the main predictors of such behaviors, as well as other contingent factors related to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). We investigated three specific issues. First, we examined whether ethical leadership and ethical environm...

The frequency of oligoclonal bands (OCB) restricted to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) varies widely in different populations. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of these OCB in a group of MS patients in the city of São Paulo. Techniques used to detect OCB consisted of isoelectric focusing followed by immunoblotting. Oligoclonal b...

Employee commitment is an indispensible cog in an organization's growth and motivation influences talent to drive this growth. Employees exhibit certain behaviors by going beyond the normal call of duty.
