Shear stress activated platelets undergo aggregation in the presence of large or unusually large von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers without the addition of ristocetin or any other exogenous chemical. This phenomenon may be analogous to the platelet aggregation that leads to thrombosis in the narrowed arteries and arterioles of patients with atherosclerosis or vasospasm. A triphenyl-methyl co...

planktonic foraminifera are useful in determining the relative age of the upper cretaceous strata. based on distribution of planktonic foraminifera in kuh-e siah section (212 m thickness), eight biozones have been recognized including dicarinella concavata interval zone (earliest santonian), dicarinella asymetrica total range zone (santonian to earliest campanian), globotruncanita elevata parti...

BACKGROUND Remote patient monitoring is increasingly integrated into health care delivery to expand access and increase effectiveness. Automation can add efficiency to remote monitoring, but patient acceptance of automated tools is critical for success. From 2010 to 2013, the Diabetes-Depression Care-management Adoption Trial (DCAT)-a quasi-experimental comparative effectiveness research trial ...

It has been demonstrated (1) that aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) reverses beryllium-induced inhibition of plasma alkaline phosphatase both in vitro and in vivo. It was suggested (2) that the ability of ATA to reverse the enzymatic and toxicological properties of Be++ involves chelate formation between Be++ and the ortho carboxyl, hydroxyl groups in the ATA molecule and the concomitant formation ...

the study examined the role of information communication technologies in extension delivery of agricultural transformation agenda (ata) of nigeria.  the objectives were to: examine the agricultural extension delivery of ata; identify icts relevant in agricultural extension and application of ata; examine roles of icts in extension of ata and identify constraints to the use of icts in extension ...

The Alzheimer's disease (AD) aetiologic event is associated with brain inflammatory processes. In this study, we consider a haplotype of the IL-10 gene promoter region, - 1082A/- 819 T/- 592A (ATA haplotype), which is an additive and independent genetic risk factor for AD. Episodic memory change is the most striking cognitive alteration in AD. It remains unclear whether episodic memory networks...
