The Korean prostrate spurge Euphorbia supina is abundant in polyphenols and has been used as a folk medicine in Korea against a variety of diseases. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effect of polyphenol mixtures of Korean Euphorbia supina (PES) on the invasion and metastasis of highly metastatic breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Firstly, PES showed no cytotoxicity on cancer cells and endothelial...

OBJECTIVE A measure of play experience in video games was developed through literature review and two empirical validation studies. BACKGROUND Despite the considerable attention given to games in the behavioral sciences, play experience remains empirically underexamined. One reason for this gap is the absence of a scale that measures play experience. METHOD In Study 1, the initial Play Expe...

UNLABELLED The objective was to evaluate supplementation of fetal calf serum (FCS) and phenazine ethosulfate (PES), a metabolic regulator that inhibits fatty acid synthesis, in culture media during in vitro production (IVP) of bovine embryos. Taking oocyte fertilization (n = 4,320) as Day 0, four concentrations of FCS (0, 2.5, 5, and 10%) and three periods of exposure to PES (without addition-C...

AIM To compare anterior pituitary functions between subjects with total and partial primary empty sella (PES) and to assess whether all cases with PES need endocrinological evaluation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-one subjects with PES (34 total and 47 partial) were included in the study. Basal anterior pituitary and its target hormones were assessed and those with low insulin like growth fact...

Peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) has been utilized to manage chronic pain associated with nerve injury. However, the data on clinical effectiveness are conflicting and the neurophysiological mechanism is not well known. This study was designed to assess whether PES relieved neuropathic pain and its possible mechanisms. The neuropathic pain model was made with lumbar 5th (L5) and 6th (L6)...

Daniel Abramovitch Hewlett-Packard Laboratories 1501 Page Mill Road, M/S 2U-10 Palo Alto, CA 94304 Abstract– This paper describes the PES Pareto Method, a useful tool for identifying and eliminating key contributors to uncertainty in the Position Error Signal (PES) of a magnetic disk drive[1, 2, 3]. Once identified and ranked according to their overall effect on PES, the top–ranking sources can...

Pes planus is the loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. It can be flexible or rigid and it results in relative flattening of the plantar surface. The condition may be lifelong, or acquired through time, inflammation or other musculoskeletal problems. Treatment is generally only needed if the condition is new, painful or progressing, or when there is a fixed deformity or other associ...

Pes anserinus bursitis (www.physio-pedia.com/Bursitis), also known as intertendinous bursa, is an inflammation of the bursa of the conjoined insertion of the M. Sartorius, M. Gracilis and M. Semitendinosus muscles along the proximal medial aspect of the tibia [4]. The bursa is located approximately two inches below the medial knee joint line between the pes anserinus tendons. The bursa doesn’t ...

Congenital convex pes valgus (congenital vertical talus) is a rare condition. We reviewed ten feet in seven patients who had had surgical correction. All had been operated on by the senior author (JF) and the same surgical technique was used throughout, incorporating transfer of the tibialis anterior to the neck of the talus. The mean age at surgery was 31 months and the mean follow-up was nine...
