H+-ATPase activity in leaves and roots of coconut palms growing in 'root wilt disease-prevalent areas' was compared with that of coconut palms growing in 'disease-free areas'. The activity was found to be significantly less in the leaves and roots of palms in the disease-prevalent zone as compared to that in disease-free zone. Histochemical examination of the leaves showed results that corrobor...

Mirtazapine {1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexa-hydro-2-meth-ylpyrazino [2,1a] pyrido [2,3-c]benzazepin} is a tetracyclic compound with antidepressant activity in human [1]. Mirtazapine has a unique mechanism of action, different from that of the classical tricyclic antidepressants, the serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and could be described as a noradrenergic and spec...

We introduce a new wide class of p–adic pseudodifferential operators. We show that the basis of p–adic wavelets is the basis of eigenvectors for the introduced operators.

BACKGROUND Human brucellosis is usually treated with a combination of tetracyclines and aminoglycosides. However, the optimal duration of therapy has not been clearly determined. METHODS We conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized, multicenter study comparing treatment with doxycycline (100 mg po b.i.d.) for 30 days (30-day group) with the same dosage of doxycycline for 45 days (45-d...

OBJECTIVES Brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion after a lethal ischemic insult confer cardioprotection, a phenomenon termed "ischemic postconditioning." However, all studies reported to date have been conducted in open-chest animal models. We sought to determine whether postconditioning occurs in conscious animals and whether it protects against severe myocardial injury. METHODS Chronic...

Methods Ten obese men participated in cross-over 4-week moderate(MIIT) and high(HIIT) intensity interval cycling. MIIT consisted of 5-min stages at ±20% of mechanical work at 45 %VO2peak, and HIIT consisted of 30-sec work at 90 %VO2peak and 30-sec rests for 30-45 min. The assessments included a constant-load test consisted of 5-min rest, 45-min cycling at 45 %VO2peak followed by 60-min recovery...
