The apparent hemodialyzer elimination rate constant and clearance for gentamicin and tobramycin were determined during 100 routine hemodialysis treatments in 49 patients. Three different dialyzers (CDAK 3500, CF 1211, and CF 1511), which vary in membrane composition, surface area, and thickness, were evaluated. The elimination rate constant in each patient was calculated from the slope of the l...

Active galaxies are often associated with starbursts, which are possible sources of fuelling for the nuclear black holes. By means of optical (3500 − 7500 Å) spectroscopic and narrow-band photometric data (Hα + [NII]λ6548,6583 and [OIII]λ5007) it is possible to detect starburst features in active nuclei and to study the correlation with Seyfert type and the surrounding environment. Here we pres...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy and occurs in 1 in 3500 male births. Improved survival due to improvements in clinical care of the musculoskeletal and respiratory systems has led to an increased incidence of cardiomyopathy. Cardiac-related deaths are now seen in approximately 20% of DMD patients. Our current understanding of DMD cardiom...

The availability of affordable continuous radon monitors opens new opportunities for studying the temporal variations indoor and more precise exposure estimates based on actual hours spent in homes workplaces. These applications require tests characteristics, including their response time. A study a promising electronic monitor with high sensitivity, RadonEye Plus2, was conducted. It found that...

Numerous cutaneous side effects of combination Pegylated interferon alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) therapy have been reported. Although cases alopecia areata (AA) associated with PEG-IFN/RBV therapy have been reported in the literature, but alopecia universalis is uncommon entity. We have treated up till now around 3500 patients suffering from this disease with Pegylated Interferon-2b an...

A novel technique for screening point mutations has been developed for diagnosis of familial defective apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (FDB). In FDB, an amino acid exchange occurs at position 3500 in apoB-100 due to a point mutation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on the appropriate region of the apoB gene, and the PCR products were hybridized in solution with europium-labeled oligonu...

We evaluate the effects that variations in He content have on bolometric corrections and Teff-colour relations. To this aim, we compute ATLAS9 model atmospheres and spectral energy distributions for effective temperatures ranging from 3500 K to 40000 K for dwarfs and from 3500 K to 8000 K for giants, considering both “He-non enhanced” and “He-enhanced” compositions. The considered variations in...
