For the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (Ni) modified composite graphite (CG) electrode (hcp-nano Ni/CG) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 M KOH). The hcp-nano Ni/CG electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare CG. The elec...

Background: Different types of corticosteroids with different characteristics, such as hydrocortisone and dexamethasone, have been used in treatment of exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but drug of choice unclear. The main goal of present study was to compare the efficacy of hydrocortisone and dexamethasone on clinical symptoms, peak expiratory flow, oxidative stress factors and...

Hydrocephalus (HCP) is a common complication in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this review, we summarize the advanced research on HCP and discuss the understanding of the molecular originators of HCP and the development of diagnoses and remedies of HCP after SAH. It has been reported that inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative stress are the important causes of HCP, and we...

BACKGROUND Patient-health care practitioner (HCP) interaction via a Web-based diabetes management system may increase patient monitoring of their blood glucose (BG) levels. METHODS A three-center, nonrandomized, prospective feasibility study of 109 Native Americans with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from Alabama, Idaho, and Arizona. The...

OBJECTIVE To create awareness of myositis ossificans (MO) as a potential complication of muscle contusion by presenting its clinical presentation and diagnostic features. An effective method of treatment is offered for those patients who develop traumatic MO. MANAGEMENT Patients in this case series developed traumatic MO, confirmed on diagnostic ultrasound. Patients participated in a treatmen...
