Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare autosomal bleeding disorder characterized clinically by prolonged skin bleeding time, normal clot retraction and thrombocytopenia with large and morphologically abnormal platelets, and biochemically by the absence of platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP) Ib, V and IX. GP Ib and GP IX exist in the platelet membrane as a heterodimer complex which acts as th...

This study aimed to investigate three variables that may interact with internal branding (IB) in the hotel context: employee engagement (EE), workplace friendship (WF), and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). adopted a survey methodology. 385 valid responses were collected from employees of 20 five-star chain hotels located Greater Cairo region Egypt. The data analyzed using PLS-SEM. res...

Conventional molecular dynamics simulations macromolecules require long computational times because the most interesting motions are very slow compared with the fast oscillations of bond lengths and bond angles that limit the integration time step. Simulation of dynamics in the space of internal coordinates, that is with bond lengths, bond angles and torsions as independent variables, gives a t...

A non-isocyanate-based polyurethane (NIPU) wood adhesive was produced from organosolv lignin, which is a bio-sourced raw material, available in large quantities and as by-product of the paper industry. The formulation this new lignin-based NIPU adhesive, presented, chemically characterised by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time Flight (MALDI ToF) mass spectrometry Fourier Transform...

We recently described a remarkable acid-catalyzed isomerization of bicyclic alkenes Ia and Ib to the betweenanenes IIa and IIb. ’ This finding suggested that certain larger ring betweenanenes might possess unusual stability relative to double bond isomers and might thus be derivable from readily available bicyclic compounds via equilibrating processes. In this report we describe several attempt...

Aim. To compare pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone tamponade or gas (Groups Ia and Ib) and a new modified Ando plombe equipped with a fiber optic light (Group II) for cases with macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in high myopic eyes (axial length > 26 mm). Methods. A prospective interventional randomized case series included 60 eyes (20 in each group). Successful outcome was consider...

AIM: Investigation into the clinical results of internal brace ligament augmentation technique compared to simple anatomical repair anterior cruciate (ACL). METHODS: From May 2016 November 2019, 128 patients underwent an operation using technique. During same time, 104 were operated on ACL repair. The mean age was 22.5-year-old for first group and 26.8-year- old second one. minimum follow-up 24...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because of difficulty in distinguishing between superficial perforator (SP) and internal border-zone (IB) infarcts, some studies lumped SP and IB infarcts together as so-called subcortical white matter infarcts, which might complicate the classification of infarct type and its pathogenesis. Using diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), we made comparative analyses of clinical and n...
