Conflicting results have been obtained by clinical studies investigating the effect of liver cirrhosis on enzyme induction. Because ethical concerns do not give consent for methodologically rigorous studies in humans, we addressed this question by examining the effect of the prototypical inducer dexamethasone (DEX) on the pregnane X receptor (PXR)–mediated induction of CYP3A1 and 3A2 in a valid...

We demonstrated laser operation of a passively Q-switched diode-pumped Er:YAG solid-state laser emitting at 1645 or 1617 nm depending on the initial transmission of the Cr:ZnSe saturable absorber. The crystal emitted up to 10 W at 1645 nm and up to 8 W at 1617 nm in CW mode while pumped with 65 W of incident pump power at 1533 nm. In passive Q-switched mode with 40 W of incident power, a Cr:ZnS...

W artykule podjęto próbę wskazania autora siedemnastowiecznego paszkwilu wymierzonego przeciwko Tatarom Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego, a ściślej – zamieszkałym nad Waką w województwie trockim. Przeanalizowano dedykacje i komentarze czterech edycji (1616, 1617, 1640 1643). Zwrócono uwagę na biogram opata benedyktynów Starych Trokach Tomasza Pawłowskiego (ok. 1556–1653), zarządzającego opactwem ...
