Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells
originated from the neural crest. Epidermal melanocytes contribute to
photoprotection and thermoregulation by packaging melanin pigment
intomelanosomes and sending them to keratinocytes. There are still many gaps in
the understanding of early events of melanocyte differentiation and advanced
melanoma regarding genetic and molecular processes. In this review, the authors
present a summary of the main aspects of the melanocyte biology and its
relation with t...

Gestational diabetes mellitus is one of
the most common medical disorders found in pregnancy. Clinical recognition of
GDM is important because timely intervention by dietary measures or insulin and
fetal surveillance can reduce the well described associated maternal and fetal
complications. This observational study was done in PGIMS, Rohtak over a period
of one year. Single step test using 75 gms oral glucose was used as screening
and diagnostic test for ...

Group CBT is an effective treatment for
depression, although there is a dearth of research on the treatment of
depression using group hypnotherapy. The present study compares the
effectiveness of these two therapies on depression. Experimental and
convenience sampling were applied with pre and posttest designs. The sample
consists of 30 patients with major depression that were split into two groups
of 15 subjects. The first group was treated with group h ...

An analytical procedure was developed to
monitor the transesterification of soybean oil using spectrofluorimetry and Partial
Least Squares (PLS) regression. Excitation-Emission Matrix (EEM) fluorescence
spectroscopy derived from 12 standard mixtures of triolein and ethyl oleate
were used in the construction of a PLS model using the fluorescent spectra as
independent variables and the values of the methyl oleate % (w/w) as dependent
variables. The model p ...

This research was aimed at enhancing the
production of ligninolytic enzymes produced by fungus Polyporus sp. isolated from Buleleng as a means to treat the
textile waste water. The optimum enzyme production was carried out by adding
agricultural waste such as banana skin, straw, and sawdust. The research was
completed in several stages including i) growing the fungus Polyporus sp. in PDA media, ii) enzymes
production, iii) enzyme activity t ...

This
paper represent the study about the impact of foreign aid on the economic
growth of Pakistan by taking into consideration previous studies done on the
same topic for different developing countries. As results show that if aids are
properly allocated in desired section which in real need development than it
can prove fruitful but normally aid given to such countries always have some
objective behind that with already defined section where that aid sh ...

Properties of hemp fibre reinforced
unsaturated polyester composites following exposure to accelerated weathering
conditions have been studied. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and UV radiation plus
condensation resulted in immediate loss in weight which stabilised following
prolonged exposure times. The same exposure led to initial decline in tensile
properties of hemp fibre composites, but the decline in properties also
...

Introduction: With deinstitutionalization,
there are higher demands placed on police in dealing with “emotionally
disturbed persons or EDPs” (e.g., those in an agitated state due to any or several
of the following reasons: pre-existing mental health disorder; emerging mental
health disorder; extreme situational stress; substance abuse). The need for
training of first responders in the management of EDPs and/or those suffering
from mental illness is well ...

Abstract
Background
Anal fissure is one of the most common and painful proctologic diseases. An anal fissure is a split in the mucosa extending from the anal verge towards the dentate line. All methods of treatment aim to reduce the anal sphincter spasm associated with chronic anal fissures. Lateral internal sphincterotomy remains the surgical treatment of choice for many practitioners. Although sphincterotomy is very successful at healing these fissures it requires an operation with associated ...

We
report ab initio studies of the
dipole polarizabilities (α) and first
static hyperpolarizabilities (β) for
a set of substituted hexatriene in which electron donating (D) and electron
accepting (A) groups were introduced either end parts of the hexatriene chain
NO2-(CH=CH)3-D. Geometries of all molecules were
optimized at the Hartree-Fock HF/6-311 G(2d,p) level of theory.
Polarizabilities of these molecules w ...
