Objective: There are association between oxidative stress and incidence of some chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Food containing antioxidant compounds, such as some spices, are the natural ways to deal with oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sumac powder (Rhus coriaria L) on the glycemic profile in patients with T2DM. Materials ...

Various intricate propellane derivatives and oxa-bowls have been synthesized via a ring-rearrangement metathesis (RRM) as a key step starting from readily accessible starting materials such as p-benzoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone and 1,4-anthraquinone.

many that the same type of pot was, and is still, in use in the paint and colour industry. A final miscellaneous group embraces bleeding bowls. Not all those objects sold as bleeding bowls by antique dealers have held blood though coming within the author's description as 'single-handed'. Those graduated in fluid ounces are without doubt the real thing: it might be prudent to consider all other...

Intraoperative autotransfusion is used in a variety of surgical procedures with the quantity of blood loss dependent upon numerous factors. These procedures may or may not produce a full autotransfusion bowl. The inadequate removal of contaminants has been correlated to the incomplete filling of bowls, resulting in a condition called "Salvaged Blood Syndrome." The purpose of this study was to a...

Nano-sized multinuclear ruthenium complexes have rapidly emerged as promising therapeutic candidates with unique anticancer activities. Here, we describe the coordination-driven self-assembly and anticancer activities of a set of three organometallic tetranuclear Ru(II) molecular bowls. [2+2] Coordination-driven self-assembly of 3, 6-bis(pyridin-3- ylethynyl) phenanthrene (bpep) (1) and one of ...

The features we present of the augmented bowl have been designed to exploit our commonsense understandings and everyday uses of container-like objects. As we’ll explain, in choosing the features, we’ve attempted to build on the ways in which physical content can be casually added to or retrieved from a bowl with little to no thought. We’ve also tried to capture the way bowls loosely contain the...
