The applicability of equations commonly used to describe the pressure dependence of viscosity, as well as the viscosity of binary mixtures, is evaluated against the computational predictions.We present a model of circular dichroism for proteins that is based on the classical electromagnetic theory for optical activity. The two additional…[Read more]

The diagnostic procedures for stroke work-up were similar. Discharge management differed strongly.

Although LSUs and CSCs are the primary care providers in their respective regions, differences in patient profiles may contribute to differences in performance parameters. Adjusting for patient profiles may improve the comparability of the…[Read more]

Results Results indicated that all three groups had comparable outcomes. However, usage was generally low (less than 10% of the program) and SC usage accounted for less than 1% of the variance in outcome. Conclusions These results suggest that internet-delivered therapy may be a viable alternative to in-person therapy.Background A major goal of…[Read more]

It appeared that several polymorphisms in MDR transporter genes especially MDR1 have influenced the regulatory mechanisms and explained differences in glucocorticoid responses.The liver is one of the body’s tissues that has regenerative abilities. But if the damage is too much, it needs to medical interventions for the regeneration. Liver donor…[Read more]

Most children with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) have gross disease (group III) at the initiation of chemotherapy. Delayed primary excision (DPE) after induction chemotherapy allows for a reduction in adjuvant radiation dose, but with the risk of potential surgical morbidity.
