objective(s): alzheimer’s disease (ad) as progressive cognitive decline and the most common form of dementia is due to degeneration of the cholinergic neurons in the brain. therefore, administration of the acetylcholinesterase (ache) inhibitors such as donepezil is the first choice for treatment of the ad. in the present study, we focused on the synthesis and anti-cholinesterase evaluation of n...

Introduction: IAChE (acetylcholinesterase) is one of the plasma’s enzymes that plays a crucial role in nervous signal transduction in synapses and is responsible for the hydrolysis of Ach. Material & Method: We investigated three methods for the determination of AChE in human blood serum, using three different assays. Michel methods are based on the measurement of hydrogen ion produced in pro...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of four radiofrequency generators (Ellman, Select Sutter, Coblator, Somnus) for the treatment of simple snoring. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multicenter, randomized, prospective single-blind study on 120 selected patients with simple snoring (apnea/hypopnea index <10/h of sleep). Snoring sound intensity was measured on a visual analog scale and the partn...

ion via Approximate Symmetry Thomas Ellman Department of Computer Science Rutgers University New Brunswick, NJ 08903 [email protected] LCSR-TR-199 Abstract Abstraction techniques are important for solving constraint satisfaction problems with global constraints and low solution density. In the presence of global constraints, backtracking search is unable to prune partial solutions. It there...

OBJECTIVE To assess the degree of poisoning in farmers using the erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) test before and after the exposure to pesticides in townships in central Benin (Glazoué and Savè) and to identify the associated risk factors. METHODS Using a cross-sectional study design, we recruited 264 farm pesticide sprayers, who have been working for at least 5 years. They completed ...

BACKGROUND Rhinophyma is an uncommon progressive disfiguring process of the lower nasal region that most commonly affects middle-aged white men. It is characterized by painless hyperplasia of the sebaceous and subcutaneous tissues, in the end stage, resulting in a bulbous nodular telangiectatic nose. Surgical modalities of treatment include electrosurgery, laser ablation, dermabrasion, cryosurg...
