INTRODUCTION Sialic acids (SA) located in erythrocyte membranes (EM) play an important role in the survival of circulating red blood cells. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the SA content in EM obtained from patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) and to examine the relationships between SA and hematological parameters. Moreover, the effects of HD, treatment with human re...

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a hydrophilic polymer well known for good film forming properties, high water vapor permeance JW, and low nitrogen permeance. However, depending on molar mass temperature, PVA swells strongly in until complete dissolution. This behavior affects the usability of aqueous environments makes cross-linking necessary if higher structural integrity envisaged. In this work, n...

2-Methylpyridinum p-toluenesulfonate ([2-MPy][p-TSA]) as a novel room temperature ionic liquidwas synthesized and evaluated as a recoverable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis ofhexahydroquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives by four-component reaction of arylaldehydes,dimedone, acetoacetanilide and ammonium acetate in high to excellent yield in ethanol at 50 oC.The [2-MPy]...

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal serrated lesions associated with invasive carcinoma and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasm (HIN), as well as to determine the immunohistochemical expression of MutL homolog 1 (MLH1), MutS homolog 2 (MSH2), K-ras and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). A total of 5,347 cases diagnosed with ...

Research objective: establish the impact of Left Atrium Volume Index (LAVI) on effectiveness Thoracoscopic Ablation (TSA) in Treatment Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and define risk factors for manifestation supraventricular arrhythmias long-term follow-up results Methods. Prospective cohort study 121 patients with AF (from 2018 to 2021) who performed TSA. The were divided into two groups: increased ...

BACKGROUND Examine 90-day postoperative mortality and its predictors following shoulder arthroplasty METHODS We identified vital status of all adults who underwent primary shoulder arthroplasty (Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) or humeral head replacement (HHR)) at the Mayo Clinic from 1976-2008, using the prospectively collected information from Total Joint Registry. We used univariate logi...

The catabolic IncP1beta plasmid pTSA from Comamonas testosteroni T-2 was mapped by subtractive analysis of restriction digests, by sequencing outwards from the tsa operon (toluenesulfonate degradation), and by generating overlapping, long-distance-PCR amplification products. The plasmid was estimated to comprise 72 +/- 4 kb. The tsa region was found to be a composite transposon flanked by two I...

Background and Objectives: The endoscopic transsphenoidal approach (TSA) is the standardized surgical to sella lesions providing a wider field resulting in fewer neurosurgical complications. However, sinonasal complications are relatively less studied. This study aims analyze morbidities after TSA performed by single center. Materials Methods: Among 154 patients who underwent from 2015 2022, 10...
