During the last 10 years Science and Technology Studies (STS) community has witnessed a flourishing, intense multifaceted engagement around “care”. While care had been addressed already before in Joanna Latimer’s The conduct of care: Understanding nursing practice (Latimer, 2000) , Jeanette Pols’ Good Enacting complex ideal long term-psychiatry (Pols, 2004), seemed to be on everybody’s l...

Although Subsequence Time Series (STS) clustering is one of the most popular pattern discovery techniques from timeseries data, a mathematical methodology for analyzing STS clustering (or pattern discovery from time-series data) has attracted little attention. In the situation, it has had a surprising report [10] that cluster centers obtained using STS clustering closely resemble ”sine waves” w...

BACKGROUND Local biosynthesis of estrogens is thought to be important for the maintenance and growth of endometriotic implants. In addition to the formation of estrogen via the aromatase pathway, steroid sulphatase (STS), which is responsible for the hydrolysis of estrogen sulphates, may be an important source of estrogens in endometriosis. METHODS Eutopic and ectopic endometrial samples from...

Steroid sulfatase (STS) is responsiblefor the conversion of estrone sulfate to estrone that can stimulate growth in endocrine-dependent tumors such as prostate cancer. Although STS is considered as a therapeutic target for the estrogen-dependent diseases, cellular function of STS are still not clear. Previously, we found that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α significantly enhances steroid sulfatas...

125 ISSN 1758-2008 10.2217/NPY.12.9 © 2012 Future Medicine Ltd Neuropsychiatry (2012) 2(2), 125–134 Summary Selegiline transdermal system (STS) has been approved to treat major depressive disorder in the USA. STS represents a novel generation of monoamine oxidase inhibitors with a superior safety profile to older monoamine oxidase inhibitors, in particular with regard to food interactions. The ...

BACKGROUND Acute lung injury is characterized by neutrophilic inflammation and increased lung permeability. Thiosulfate is a stable metabolite of hydrogen sulfide, a gaseous mediator that exerts antiinflammatory effects. Although sodium thiosulfate (STS) has been used as an antidote, the effect of STS on acute lung injury is unknown. The authors assessed the effects of STS on mice lung and vasc...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of different concentrations of silver thiosulfate (sts) (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mm), sucrose (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 %), humic acid (100, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 ppm) and banzyl adenine (5, 10, 20 and 40 ppm) on vaselife of cut ‘tempo’ carnation flowers. the experiment was arranged in a compeletly randomized design. the results of means comparison indi...

As with most kinds of inner experience, it is difficult to assess actual self-talk frequency beyond self-reports, given the often hidden and subjective nature of the phenomenon. The Self-Talk Scale (STS; Brinthaupt et al., 2009) is a self-report measure of self-talk frequency that has been shown to possess acceptable reliability and validity. However, no research using the STS has examined the ...
