Complete visualization of lesions is critical for the accurate diagnosis and management of dermatological diseases. Currently, the most readily available technologies used by dermatologists include dermoscopy and photography. ...

Redox reactions are ubiquitous in biological processes. Enzymes involved in redox metabolism often use cofactors in order to facilitate electron-transfer reactions. Common redox cofactors include micronutrients such as ...

This study analyzes whether increased body weight is related to histological liver damage in chronic alcoholic patients. Data from 152 recently abstinent alcoholics without evidences of liver failure were analyzed. Liver ...

Computer skills are valuable assets for medical students. A survey was conducted among the 283 students of the University of Chile Medical School at the East Campus and 90% answered the survey. Of these, 75% own a computer ...

In this work, the influence of oxidation during austenitizing heating in air. before quenching, on the fatigue-life of an AISI-D3 steel previously machined by electrodischarge machining, is studied. It has been determined ...

The study of the pyrolysis of di-t-butyl peroxide in the presence of carbon monoxide allows an evaluation of the rate constant for the oxidation of carbon monoxide by t-butoxy-radicals.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is one of the main mechanisms used to kill microbes during innate immune response. D-lactic acid, which is augmented during acute ruminal acidosis, reduces platelet activating ...

Human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with obesity is characterized by depletion of hepatic n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), with lower LCPUFA product/precursor ratios and higher ...

Despite advances in treatment, chronic heart failure still is associated with a poor prognosis and remains a leading cause of cardiovascular death. Cumulating evidence suggests that imbalances in redox state lead to a ...
