OBJECTIVE Repeated exposure to cannabis in nonpsychotic adolescents is associated with impairments in executive control of attention, similar to those observed in young adults with first-episode schizophrenia. To assess the impact of recurrent exposure to cannabis on cognitive function, this study characterized attention performance in both nonpsychotic adolescents and adolescents with early-on...

The use of essential oils (EOs) and their components is known since long in traditional medicine and aromatherapy for the management of various diseases, and is further increased in the recent times. The neuroprotective and anti-aging potentials of EOs and their possible mechanism of actions were evaluated by numerous researchers around the globe. Several clinically important EOs and their comp...

BACKGROUND Despite a low positive predictive value, diagnostic tests such as complete blood count (CBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are commonly used to evaluate whether infants with risk factors for early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) should be treated with antibiotics. STUDY DESIGN We investigated the impact of implementing a protocol aiming at reducing the number of diagnostic tests in infa...

Aromatic plants are rich in essential oils with considerable antimicrobial properties.The aim of this study was to investigate chemical composition, antimicrobial activity and antioxidant properties of Melissa officinalis and Deracocephalum moldavica essential oils (EOs). The identification of chemical constituents of the EOs was carried out using gas chromato-graphy-mass spec...

Introduction EOS 2D/3D imaging system (EOS imaging, Paris, France) is a multidimensional Xray imaging system that is able to acquire high quality images in two perpendicular planes with less radiation than standard imaging techniques. EOS is currently used clinically in scoliosis and lower extremity deformities (leg length discrepancy, angulation deformities, etc). Although technically very pro...

Background: Essential oils (EOs) are complex mixtures of several components gifted with a wide array of biological activities. The present research was designed to evaluate whether commercial essential oils could be effective by examining their in vitro antioxidant, cytotoxic, and apoptotic properties of nine commercially available EOs in Palestine, namely, African rue, basil, chamomile, fennel...

In this work we calculate the total mass, radius, moment of inertia, and surface gravitational redshift for neutron stars using various equations of state (EOS). The latter are derived from the recent meson-exchange potential models of the Bonn group, and we derive both a non-relativistic and a relativistic EOS. Of importance here is the fact that relativistic BruecknerHartree-Fock calculations...

BACKGROUND This study has aimed to measure the patient dose in entire spine radiography by EOS system in comparison with the digital radiography. METHODS EOS stereo-radiography was used for frontal and lateral view spine imaging in 41 patients in a prospective analytical study. A calibrated dose area product (DAP) meter was used for calibration of the DAP in EOS system. The accuracy and preci...

Earth Observing System (EOS) is one of NASA's large programs for Earth science and global change research. In order to process, distribute, and archive data from EOS satellites and to facilitate interdisciplinary research, NASA has developed the EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) that defines a set of standards to deal with remote sensing data. In EOSDIS, data are grouped into three conce...
