Methods Pts aged 4-17 with polyarticular course JIA were enrolled in a phase 3, randomized-withdrawal, doubleblind (DB), stratified, parallel-group study, which consisted of a 16-wk open-label (OL) lead-in phase, a 32-wk DB phase, and an OL extension (OLE) phase. In the OLE phase, pts were dosed based on body surface area (24 mg/m2, max 40 mg dose), followed by a switch to 20 or 40 mg eow based...

background outer hair cells' (ohcs') dysfunctions as the extent of temporary and permanent threshold shifts (tts and pts) and cochlear damage were assessed in rabbits exposed to continuous noise methods twelve new zealand white rabbits were studied in noise (n) (n=6; exposed to continuous noise; 95 db spl, 500-8000 hz for 8 h per day during 5 consecutive days) and control (c) (n=6; no...

Methods We analyzed n = 29 pts.; 17 m, 12f; mean age 71 ± 10y [SE]; mean SAPSII 59 [min. 40, max. 87]) with septic shock, mottled-marbled cold extremities and MAP≥65 mmHg on high catecholamines (norepinephrine 16,67μg/ min (28 pts.); dobutamine 333,33μg/min (20 pts.); epinephrine 16,67μg/min (17 pts.) [median, range up to 56,67/1666,67/33,3μg/min]) retrospectively after major surgery (universit...

BACKGROUND Lactose malabsorption is variably associated with lactose intolerance (LI). The determinants of symptom onset have not yet been completely identified. Visceral sensitivity may play a role in the pathogenesis of functional symptoms; an increasing bulk of clinical and research data suggests the importance of the brain-gut interaction in intestinal bowel syndrome. AIM: To assess the imp...

There is considerable agreement among linguists that thematic analysis offers writers insights into manuscripts that may be rejected by international journals due to thematic organization problems. Whereas many comparative studies have provided valuable information about thematic progression (TP), the role of peripheral themes (PTs) has almost been neglected. Using the revised model of the TP p...

Bacillus subtilis utilizes glucose as the preferred source of carbon and energy. The sugar is transported into the cell by a specific permease of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) encoded by the ptsGHI operon. Expression of this operon is induced by glucose and requires the action of a positive transcription factor, the GlcT antiterminator protein. Glucose availabili...
