2,315,286 | Effect of glaucomatous damage on repeatability of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope, scanning laser polarimetry, and optical coherence tomography. | To determine and compare the effect of the severity of glaucomatous damage on the repeatability of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness with GDx-VCC (variable corneal compensation) and StratusOCT (optical coherence tomography; both produced by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA), and optic nerve head (ONH) topo... |
2,315,287 | Microbial conversion of sulfur dioxide in flue gas to sulfide using bulk drug industry wastewater as an organic source by mixed cultures of sulfate reducing bacteria. | Mixed cultures of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) were isolated from anaerobic cultures and enriched with SRB media. Studies on batch and continuous reactors for the removal of SO(2) with bulk drug industry wastewater as an organic source using isolated mixed cultures of SRB revealed that isolation and enrichment metho... |
2,315,288 | The Women's international study of long-duration oestrogen after menopause (WISDOM): a randomised controlled trial. | At the time of feasibility work and final design of the trial there was no randomised control trial evidence for the long-term risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy. Observational studies had suggested that long term use of estrogen was likely to be associated, amongst other things, with reduced risks of os... |
2,315,289 | Regression analysis of ranked segment parameters for optic nerve head classification: a pilot study. | To determine whether curve-fitting analysis of the ranked segment distributions of topographic optic nerve head (ONH) parameters, derived using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT), provide a more effective statistical descriptor to differentiate the normal from the glaucomatous ONH.</AbstractText>The sample comprised... |
2,315,290 | Is time-based prospective remembering mediated by self-initiated rehearsals? Role of incidental cues, ongoing activity, age, and motivation. | The present research examined self-reported rehearsal processes in naturalistic time-based prospective memory tasks (Study 1 and 2) and compared them with the processes in event-based tasks (Study 3). Participants had to remember to phone the experimenter either at a prearranged time (a time-based task) or after receiv... |
2,315,291 | Semi-continuous L-lactate fermentation of garbage without sterile condition and analysis of the microbial structure. | In order to develop a simple L-lactate fermentation of organic wastes, acidogenic fermentation was investigated in semi-continuous culture at 55 degrees C with using unsterilized artificial garbage as feedstock. And, sludge from a thermophilic acidification reactor was inoculated at the start of the fermentation. The e... |

HRT was applied 3 days a week w... |
2,315,293 | HRT: have we changed? | In recent years, medical controversy, has surrounded the prescribing of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).</AbstractText>This study aimed to establish whether prescribing of HRT in Northern Ireland has changed and what the current prescribing patterns are.</AbstractText>A structured questionnaire was sent by post to al... |
2,315,294 | [The efficacy of testosterone ointment (Glowmin) treatment for late-onset-hypogonadism (LOH) patients according to LOH severity]. | The most basic treatment for late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) is hormone replacment therapy (HRT). In Japan, intra-muscular injection of testosterone (T) has been used for LOH treatment as HRT. Testosterone ointment (Glowmin) has been available for HRT from 1965 as an over-the-counter drug, and the profile of serum T leve... |
2,315,295 | Hormone replacement therapy in breast cancer survivors. | It is well known that women with breast cancer who undergo therapies beyond the surgical intervention (adjuvant chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or both) often suffer from the lack of estrogen, manifesting as climacteric symptoms in either treated premenopausal or postmenopausal women. Although HRT (hormone replacement t... |
2,315,296 | Hormone replacement therapy and cardioprotection: what is good and what is bad for the cardiovascular system? | The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) increases after menopause and at any age postmenopausal women have a significantly higher incidence of CVD compared to premenopausal women. Several epidemiological findings suggest the causative pathogenetic role of ovarian hormone deficiency in the development of CVD in ... |
2,315,297 | Insulin resistance with hormone replacement therapy: associations with markers of inflammation and adiposity. | This study was undertaken to determine whether insulin resistance associated with combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is mediated by changes in serum markers of inflammation or in serum adipocyte hormones.</AbstractText>Forty-five postmenopausal women, aged 55 +/- 7 years, were examined from a randomized, dou... |
2,315,298 | Fluidised pellet bed bioreactor: a promising technology for onsite wastewater treatment and reuse. | A pilot-scale fluidised pellet bed (FPB) bioreactor, which combines chemical coagulation, biological degradation, particle pelletisation and separation in one unit, was applied for onsite wastewater treatment and reuse.
