Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes by shuttling material out of and between cells.Tissue EVs may thus lend insights into disease mechanisms and also betray disease when released into Skirt easily accessed biological fluids.Since brain-derived EVs (bdEVs) and their cargo may serve as
Species richness and spatial variation in community composition (i.e., beta diversity) are key measures of biodiversity.They are largely determined by natural factors, but also increasingly affected by anthropogenic factors.Thus, there is a need for a clear understanding of the human impact on species richness and beta diversity, the ANTI-COLD unde
ABSTRACT Objectives: The accuracy and reliability of plaster models and digital models acquired with two different surface laser scanners were tested by means of three methods: measurement with calipers, digital measurement with proper software and superimposition of the digital Zinc models.Methods: Thirty plaster models with permanent dentition th
In traditional reinforced concrete, the alkaline pore solution which passivates the steel rebars will get neutralized with time in an exposed environment.Therefore, to prevent corrosion initiation, the permeability of the concrete is reduced and extra-thick concrete covers the steel rebars.Aluminum ANTI-COLD is passive in the neutralized environmen
PURPOSE: Complete androgen blockade (CAB) does not prolong overall survival (OS) in patients with castration refractory prostate cancer (CRPC).Although there is variable clinical benefit with second-line hormone manipulation, we do not know which patients might benefit the most.OBJECTIVES: To identify clinical predictors of benefit of complete andr
