Unexpectedly, the present study found that most physiological changes with age involve VSMC function, whereas endothelial NO production was largely unaffected. ACh-stimulated relaxations showed a slight desensitisation at 24 months of age, whereas basal NO production remained normal altogether. This oppos...
Stroke animals were under intense care by trained veterinary staff in our facility in the first 24 hours to ensure each animal was in proper condition and receiving immediate medical care if needed. After the first 24 hours, stroke animals were examined a minimum of twice a day until they wer...
After removing nail-art no special care or treatment was performed on the art-removed nail to obtain the real effect of nail-art on the nail plate. In the third period, OCT imaging was performed on art-removed nails. So in three phases, the total monitoring period was 15 weeks and ...
Perioperative chemotherapy (CT) can reduce the risk of relapse (Nordlinger et al, 2008) as well as obviating surgery in those who progress rapidly because of poor biology, and has become standard of care in many centres. The New EPOC study sought to assess the benefit of adding cetuximab (...

Second, TACE was the initial treatment for these patients, most of whom received subsequent treatments including resection, ablation, repeated TACE, and systemic therapies, or best supportive care. As our previous prospective clinical trial demonstrated, subsequent treatments can influence OS, especially ...
Neuroimaging biomarkers are intriguing not only because they are noninvasive, but also because they are routinely performed as part of a patient’s routine medical care [261]. Newly developed radioactive isotopes and contrasting agents increase the efficiency of MRI, MRS, and PET scans. ...
