introduction: in the present study we attempted to investigate the alterations of cytological parameters of nrm (longaxis and intranuclear rods) in the absence of its excitatory vl pag afferent with or without the formalin pain model. materials and methods: we used male rats in 4 groups: 1- control group (n=4), 2- formalin group (n=4), 3- chemical lesion of vl pag by ibotenic acid (0.2 َl, 0.5 َl...

Rabbit anti-thymocyte globulins (ATGs) are widely used for the prevention of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (aGVHD, cGVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, most prospective and retrospective studies did not reveal an overall survival (OS) benefit associated with ATG. Homozygosity for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C group 1 killer-cell im...

Title: Constant Regret Resolving Heuristics for Price-Based Revenue Management Network revenue management (NRM) and its corresponding pricing question is one of the most fundamental problems in operations management. To alleviate curse dimensionality prohibitive cost computing an exact solution using dynamic programming, computationally efficient resolving algorithms are proposed. The state-of-...

In their design or implementation, many natural resource management (NRM) programs ignore critical socio-cultural dimensions of the challenge to advance sustainability. Building on particular ideas about culture and human ecosystems, we combine the strengths of the capital assets model of sustainability and the idea of intercultural borderlands to respond to this gap. To advance our thesis abou...

Objective To investigate the effect of antenatal corticosteroid prophylaxis on neonatal respiratory morbidity between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation. Methods This retrospective study evaluated the neonatal respiratory complications of 683 low risk singleton pregnancies delivered at 34-37 weeks of gestation in a tertiary care center between Jan 2012 and Sept 2015. Group-I (n=294) comprised data ...

In recent decades, natural resource management (NRM) has embraced community participation and engagement. Despite considerable literature addressing community participation, the tasks of negotiating and integrating diverse community interests, values, goals and boundaries remains a challenge for practitioners. Our view is that NRM discourse is hamstrung by a multitude of overlapping terms and e...

Patients with therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (t-MDS) have poor survival and high non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. This retrospective study assessed the transplant outcomes of 29 consecutive patients with t-AML (83%) or t-MDS (17%) treated with allogeneic transplantation. The median age of patients was 51 years....

The detection of drug resistance in tuberculosis takes several weeks with conventional methods, and there is a high cost associated with the use of faster methods like commercial kits or molecular techniques. This work evaluates the nitrate reductase method (NRM), the MTT colorimetric assay and resazurin (RES) as alternative assays for the rapid detection of resistance to first line antitubercu...

The discussion on the changing nature of the surveying profession has been a key issue for more than a decade. University and training institutions have been looking for new ways to respond to these changes. E-learning is playing a key role in the professional education of surveyors and future land professionals. E-learning is also part of the education strategy of the International Institute f...

The choice of conditioning regimen before allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is important. We retrospectively compared outcomes of medium-dose VP-16/cyclophosphamide/total body irradiation (VP/CY/TBI) regimen and CY/TBI. Five hundred and twenty-nine patients (VP/CY/TBI: n = 35, CY/TBI: n = 494) who met all of the following criteria wer...
