Tacrolimus (TAC) is an immunosuppressive drug, optimally used for liver, kidney, and heart transplant to avoid immune rejection.In retrospect, a multitude of studies have reported effects of TAC, such as nephrotoxicity, diabetes, and other complications.However, limited information is available regarding short-term exposure of TAC on the liver.Ther

Free hemoglobin (fHb) may induce vasoconstriction by scavenging nitric oxide.It may increase in older blood units due to storage lesions.This study evaluated whether old red blood cell transfusion increases plasma fHb in sepsis and how the microvascular response may be affected.This is a secondary analysis of a randomized study.Twenty adult septic

This article presents a new approach to the comparison of the meaning of social or political key terms in different national contexts.Instead of relying on classical statistical instruments such as t-tests of the mean attitudes, the author proposes to analyze value conflicts between the mentioned groups.In international surveys like the European Va

The gaseous fuel-air coaxial jet flow and combustion under different fuel compositions are actively controlled through periodic excitation of the initial jet shear layer with arrayed miniature jet actuators equipped on the inner surface of the annular nozzle.In the present study, methane (CH4) is diluted by nitrogen (N2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) wit

We establish WKB estimates for linear dynamic systems with a small parameter on a time scale unifying continuous and discrete WKB method.We introduce an adiabatic hellfire sloe gin invariant for dynamic system on a time scale, which is a generalization of adiabatic invariant of Lorentz_s pendulum.As an application we prove that the change of adiaba
