rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is an inflammatory progressive disease which in the absence of appropriate treatment can lead to joint destruction and disability. prognosis of ra may be predicted based on the presence of some clinical and laboratory evidences.new criteria for classification of ra provides opportunity for earlier treatment. initiation of treatment particularly by combination of dmards...

Chronic cough is one of the most common symptoms in clinical practice that associated numerous negative consequences. The pathophysiology chronic complex, and its causes include respiratory diseases, neurological disorders, exposure to tobacco smoke, medications. Understanding physiology mechanisms hypersensitivity can improve outcome treatment. At turn 2019 2020, European Respiratory Society (...

Evidence that placebo acupuncture is an effective treatment for chronic pain presents a puzzle: how do placebo needles appearing to patients to penetrate the body, but instead sitting on the skin's surface in the manner of a tactile stimulus, evoke a healing response? Previous accounts of ritual touch healing in which patients often described enhanced touch sensations (including warmth, tinglin...

The removal of chlorinated organics from the E, effluent by oxygen oxidation treatment was studied. It was found that the reduction of TOCI and colour from the fraction of highmolecular-weight chlorolignins is vitally important to the overall reduction of TOCI and colour from the El effluent. Three pathways are potentially involved in the removal of TOCI and colour from the E, effluent: degrada...

We present a new treament of 2-spinors and twistors, using the spacetime algebra. The key rôle of bilinear covariants is emphasized. As a by-product, an explicit representation is found, composed entirely of real spacetime vectors, for the Grassmann entities of supersymmetric field theory.
