Progressive calcification of Bruch’s membrane (BM) causes considerable visual morbidity in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). Since calcification is hyperreflective on optical coherence tomography (OCT), our aim was to measure BM calcification with OCT imaging.

Case-control study with 45 patients with PXE under 40 years (range,…[Read more]

of heavy metal management in above and belowground parts of licorice in order to achieve its potential for further sustainable phytoremediation programs and most importantly considering the heavy metal accumulation in rhizomes and roots in accordance with world standards for medicinal and edible consumption.

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test…[Read more]

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a reliable, long-term treatment option for degenerative shoulder pathology. However, the functional outcomes degrade around the fifth year postoperation, particularly for internal and external rotation. Long-term radiographic changes have been reported around the humeral stem, depending on the fixation…[Read more]

001). GH

levels were largely unaffected by ghrelin compared to saline infusion during both the basal and clamp period, but cortisol

levels increased by 15% after ghrelin compared to saline infusion in the basal period (P=.03). Palmitate turnover was increased by 43% in the basal period (difference 77 (20) µmol/min, P=.01) and unchanged in…[Read more]

27, 95% CrI, 1.08-1.11) vs diffuse subtype (TR 1.17, 95% CrI, 1.09-1.24) and the probability of increasing OS > 15% was 90% vs 67% in each subtype, respectively. The effect dwindles over time, which can be attributed to pathological changes and clinical practice changes.

Our study confirms the effect of DPF is highly dependent on sev…[Read more]

Another crucial fact for the experimental aim was to affirm the assumed drug interaction by in vivo model examination. The assessment of anti-diabetic property on alloxan-induced Swiss albino mice proved significant in vivo interaction between the drugs. It was outlined from the animal study that the hypoglycemic activity of linagliptin might be…[Read more]
