The objective of this study was to evaluate relationships between subjective and objective measures of balance in multiple sclerosis (MS). In 54 subjects with MS, balance was measured objectively with the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) using dynamic posturography and subjectively with the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). MS-...

Acid-binding capacity (ABC) of a feed is the amount of acid required to reduce the pH of feed to a special level such as 3. All poultry feed ingredients used in this study were collected from feed mills in Iran. The pH and ABC were determined using the standard methods in deionized and magnetized water at room and body temperatures. The pH of most feed ingredients was raised in magnetized water...

The ABC systems are a particular family of Lotka{Volterra systems in dimension 3. Their integrability has been studied these last years by many authors. In this paper we study the ABC systems which are algebraically integrable, i.e. the ABC systems having two independent algebraic rst integrals. For doing this we need to summarize all the known results about the polynomial and rational rst inte...

Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Ca. L. asiaticus) is a Gram-negative bacterium and the pathogen of Citrus Greening disease (Huanglongbing, HLB). As a parasitic bacterium, Ca. L. asiaticus harbors ABC transporters that play important roles in exchanging chemical compounds between Ca. L. asiaticus and its host. Here, we analyzed all the ABC transporter-related proteins in Ca. L. asiaticus. We ...

BACKGROUND The effect of nonthymidine nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) on fat mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and function is unclear. METHODS A5202 randomized antiretroviral therapy-naive human immunodeficiency virus-infected subjects to abacavir-lamivudine (ABC/3TC) versus tenofovir DF-emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) with efavirenz (EFV) or atazanavir-ritonavir (ATV/r). A5224s,...

Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) has close association with atrial fibrillation (AF). The ESC guideline recommended Atrial Better care (ABC) pathway aims to reduce major cardiovascular adverse outcomes an integrated approach. Optimal medical treatment (OMT) represents the cornerstone in HF management. Purpose To investigate variables affecting OMT and its impact, conjunction ABC adherence...
