Objective(s): Pioglitazone (PGZ), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) agonist, has significant neuroprotective effects and has been reported to regulate inflammatory processes.Materials and Methods: We evaluated the effects of PGZ on febrile seizure (FS) in rat pups. Three groups of male rat pups received intraperitoneal (IP) injections of PGZ (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg). Lipo...

Containers became the de-facto standard to package and distribute modern applications their dependencies. The HEP community demonstrates an increasing interest in such technology, with scientists encapsulating analysis workflow code inside a container image. is first validated on small dataset minimal hardware resources then run at scale massive computing capacity provided by grid. typical appr...

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to determine the prevalence of fibromyalgia syndrome (FS) in chronic haemodialysis (HD) patients and to identify possible links between FS and various clinical and laboratory parameters. METHODS We studied 122 chronic HD patients and 89 healthy age- and sex-matched controls, classified according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for FS...

The paper continues the study of differential Banach *algebras AS and FS of operators associated with symmetric operators S on Hilbert spaces H. The algebra AS is the domain of the largest *-derivation δS of B(H) implemented by S and the algebra FS is the closure of the set of all finite rank operators in AS with respect to the norm ‖A‖ = ‖A‖+‖δS(A)‖. When S is selfadjoint, FS is the domain of ...

We used water and human skin tissue to compare the surgical potential of 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulses. For investigation of threshold behavior of 100-fs and 200-ps pulses, we use water as a model for tissue. In addition to having a lower threshold, we find that energy deposition is much more consistent with 100-fs pulses. We also compared 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulse effects on the surface a...

The identification of parathyroid gland tissue and its distinction from surrounding structures such as thyroidgland, lymphoid, fibroadipose, and, rarely, thymic tissues on frozen section (FS) may be challenging owingto freezing artifact and small biopsy sent for FS. Intraoperative cytology (IC) provides valuable complementary morphologic details. We evaluated a case by IC alone, followed by int...
