Despite the beneficial effects of blockade of the renin-angiotensin system in diabetic nephropathy (DN), albuminuria and progression of renal disease are not completely halted by these agents. Therefore, it is necessary to explore potential antiproteinuric and renoprotective effects of innovative therapeutic approaches. This study tested the hypothesis that the combination of pentoxifylline (PT...

Para ello, metodologías usadas son modelo del Residuo Solow mediante función tipo Cobb-Douglas diagramas sunrise/sunset Harberger. Los resultados obtenidos muestran un creci...

The hepatitis B-X (HBx) protein is strongly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. It is implicated not to directly cause cancer but to play a role in hepatocellular carcinoma as a co-factor. The oncogenic potential of HBx primarily lies in its interaction with transcriptional regulators resulting in aberrant gene expression and deregulated cellular pathways. Utilizing ultraviolet irradiatio...

A key parameter for the design of soil drainage and irrigation facilities modelling surface runoff erosion phenomena in land-formed areas is saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks). There are many methods determining its value. In situ laboratory measurements commonly regarded as most accurate direct methods; however, they costly time-consuming. Alternatives can be found increasingly popular mode...

Many photometric time-domain surveys are driven by specific goals, such as searches for supernovae or transiting exoplanets, which set the cadence with which fields are re-imaged. In the case of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), several sub-surveys are conducted in parallel, leading to nonuniform sampling over its ∼20, 000 deg2 footprint. While the median 7.26 deg2 PTF field has been imaged ...

BACKGROUND Current evidence suggests that in children there is a significant, albeit weak, association between asthma and obesity. Studies generally use body mass index (BMI) in evaluating body adiposity, but there are limitations to its use. METHOD Children from a population-based study attending follow-up (age 11 years) were weighed, measured and had percent body (PBF) and truncal (PTF) fat...

The disease-specific survival (DSS) of 151 patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) was studied in an attempt to stratify patients into risk groups and to form a basis for a new grading of cGVHD. The data included the outcome and 23 variables at the diagnosis of cGVHD and at the primary treatment failure (PTF). Eighty-nine patients (58%) failed primary therapy for cGVHD. Nonrelap...

one of the important aspects of soil is, knowing the relationships between spatial features of soil and quantity in statistical model. the goal of this research is to estimate saturated hydraulic conductivity by regression and co-active neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) with using the parameters of bulk density, real density, porosity, fractal dimension of particle size, and clay percent, si...

In this work, we describe a Frenet frame in 4-dimensional Euclidean space and call as parallel transport (PTF). PTF is an alternative approach to defining moving frame. This obtained by rotating the tangent vector first binormal of unit speed curve euler angle then give curvature functions according curve. Also, introduce $(k,m)$-type slant helices 4-Space. Additionally, obtain characterization...

BACKGROUND Increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) are associated with increased metabolic risk. Clinical and DXA body composition measures that are associated with VAT are generally even more strongly associated with subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) reflecting general adiposity, and thus are not specific for VAT. Measures more strongly associated with VAT th...
