BACKGROUND The compression of the median nerve (MN) in the carpal tunnel (CT) is one of the most common aetiologies of entrapment neuropathy syndromes in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of the palpable bony prominences of the distal forearm (radial styloid process [RSP] and ulnar styloid process [USP]) with MN in the CT, in order to determine a safe-...

Detection of potentially gas flaring-related pollution on vegetation cover using remotely sensed data at 11 flaring sites in Rivers State, Nigeria is the emphasis this research. 21 Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM ), and 4 8 Operational Land Imager Thermal Infrared Sensor (OLI-TIRS) dated from 21/04/2000 to 05/02/2022 with 3 cloud were used. Normalized Differential Vegetation Index ...

Manganese (Mn) is a trace element essential for brain development and functioning of the central nervous system. However, there is a lack of information concerning the neurotoxicity of Mn under realistic doses in early stages of development, though excess of Mn results in a progressive disorder of the nervous system called manganism. In the current study, adult mice were exposed to three doses ...

to investigate the effect of different amounts of fe and mn on qualitative and quantitative traits of forage maize (zea mays l.) hybrid single cross 704, an experiment was conducted as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with 16 treatments and three replications at qaneat city (southern khorasan province) in 2010. treatments consisted of 4 levels of feso4 (no fertilizer as control...

in this study, bis(salicylaldehyde)-4-methyl-1,2-phenylenediimine (bsmp) as a schiff base ligand of n2o2-type and its mn and fe complex as m-bsmp catalyst were synthesized and characterized by uv-vis, ir spectroscopy and elemental analysis. the efficiency of fe- and mn-bsmp catalysts was evaluated in the oxidative decarboxylation of arylacetic acids with tetra-butylammonium periodate (n-bu4nio4...

A novel S4-symmetric icosanuclear manganese metalladiazamacrocycle was synthesized using a pentadentate ligand, N-3-phenyl-trans-2-propenoylsalicylhydrazide (H3L), that has a rigid and bulky terminal N-acyl group. A 20 cyclic repeat of an--(Mn-N-N)--linkage resulted in a highly puckered diaza-bridged 60-membered icosanuclear metallamacrocycle. The steric interaction between the ligands in the c...

Drinking water treatment facilities remove impurities from raw water sources using various chemicals. The by-product produced from the purification process is called water treatment residuals (WTR). If WTR contain residual chemicals from the purification process, soluble elements may be released potentially causing chemical imbalances in soil and groundwater systems. The study objectives were t...

BACKGROUND Membranous nephropathy (MN) can be associated with malignancy. However, the relative risk for malignancy remains unclear. It has been reported that higher numbers of inflammatory cells seen in the glomeruli at biopsy correlate with the occurrence of malignancy in patients with MN and might be used to direct screening. METHODS We examined the occurrence of malignancy in 201 MN patie...
