Results: Mean age of the study population was 34.7 ± 8.5 and mean duration of work was 16.5 ± 7.9 years. The prevalance of Dental technicians’ pneumoconiosis (DTP) was 11.1%. The most common opacity in HRCT was round opacity with a rate of 89.7%. The rate of large opacity was %14.3. There was positive correlation between ILO score and HRCT score. Negative correlation was found between ILO and H...

BACKGROUND: Outpatient craniotomy, biopsy, and spinal decompression have been performed at our center for more than a decade. Early feasibility studies suggest that they are safe, successful, cost-effective, and well-tolerated by patients. However, a largescale study of this magnitude has not been performed. OBJECTIVE: To characterize postoperative complications and the rate of successful disch...

The size and shape of a surfactant aggregate could be altered by using supersaturation like in crystal growth, rather than applying common laws that drive surfactant aggregate formation.

Introduction. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology the Ministry Health Russia synthesized an original derivative indolocarbazole with carbohydrate residue xylose, which has a pronounced cytotoxic and anti-angiogenic activity. The substance LCS-1269 is amorphous powder that almost insoluble in water, causes difficulties development injectable dosage form (IDP). To solve this p...

Climate change modulates the effects of solar UV radiation on biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, particularly for carbon cycling, resulting in UV-mediated positive or negative feedbacks on climate. Possible positive feedbacks discussed in this assessment include: (i) enhanced UVinduced mineralisation of above ground litter due to aridification; (ii) enhanced UV-induced...

at least among some urban populations.7 A third hypothesis is based on the stages of an adolescent’s acquisition of lesbian or bisexual identity. “Heterosexual immersion” may be one strategy for responding to the identity confusion stage of development: “Some adolescents establish heterosexual involvements in hopes of ‘curing’ themselves of their homosexual interests....In some cases, an adoles...
