ATX-MS-1467 for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS)

ATX-MS-1467 is a novel treatment that was developed with the aim of working with the immune system to treat the underlying cause of disease rather than just treating the symptoms or suppressing the...

Study investigates effects of passive smoking on the levels of three parameters

"It is well known that passive smoking is harmful for cardiovascular health, but the mechanism has not yet been discovered," said Dr Kaya. "We investigated the effects of passive smoking on the levels...

Biomechanical Parameters and Concussion in Football

Are there specific biometric parameters -- i.e., rotational and translational accelerations -- that contribute to the likelihood of concussion in a helmeted collision in American football? Neurosurg...

Directly measured activation parameters for the ring expansions of cyclopropylhalocarbenes.

Activation parameters have been redetermined for the ring expansions of cyclopropylchlorocarbene and cyclopropylfluorocarbene; agreement between the experimental and computed activation parameters has...

AM1* parameters for palladium and silver.

We report the parameterization of AM1* for the elements palladium and silver. The basis sets for both metals contain one set each of s-, p- and d-orbitals. AM1* parameters are now available for H, C,...

Application of the New Scaling Relations and Global Isomorphism to the Study of Liquid-Vapor Saturation Pressure.

We apply the new scaling relations and global isomorphism between continuous and discrete systems to find of saturation pressure. On this basis, we obtain the expression for the saturation pressure co...

Sensitivity of HRV parameters including pNNxx proven by short-term exposure to 2700 m altitude.

Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is increasingly applied in research and intervention. However, the sensitivity of the variety of HRV parameters for changes in cardiovascular reactivity remain...

Phase equilibrium calculations of ternary liquid mixtures with binary interaction parameters and molecular size parameters determined from molecular dynamics.

The method presented in this paper was developed to predict liquid-liquid equilibria in ternary liquid mixtures by using a combination of a thermodynamic model and molecular dynamics simulations. In g...
