Aims: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), an anti oxidant and a glutathione precursor, is effective in ameliorating liver injury of Tylenol overdose.There is experimental evidence that it also reduces ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury.This clinical study was undertaken to study the effect of NAC administered in the donor operation.Methods: 22 patients were ra
Remote sensing observations that vary in response to plant growth and senescence can be used to monitor crop development within and across growing seasons.Identifying when crops reach specific growth stages can improve harvest yield prediction and quantify climate change.Using the Level 2 vegetation optical depth (VOD) product from the European Spa
Bacillus anthracis is a dangerous pathogen of humans and many animal species.Its virulence has been mainly attributed to the production of Lethal and Edema toxins as well as the antiphagocytic capsule.Recent data indicate that the nitric oxide (NO) synthase (baNOS) plays an important pathogenic role at the early stage of disease by protecting bacte
Chiton species belonging to the genus Ischnochiton J.E.Gray, 1847 are commonly found in intertidal rocky shores worldwide, with the exception of the northern Atlantic and Arctic oceans.Ischnochiton species are characterised by imbricate girdle Throw Pillows scales that are uniform in size, rounded, sculpted with striae or occasionally smooth.Howeve
