Reported here is an investigation to determine the in vitro and in vivo metabolism
of xanthohumol (XN). XN is the major prenylated flavonoid of the female
inflorescences (cones) of the hop plant (Humulus lupulus). It is also a constituent of
beer, the major dietary source of prenylated flavonoids. Recent studies...
The navicular drop test (NDT), Feiss' line (FL) and standing foot angle (SFA)
are clinical tests used to estimate the amount of pronation via inferior displacement of
the tarsal navicular. Thirty-two patients (female and male, ages 18-65) who sought
medical treatment for lower extremity pathologies participated in the study that...
A lack of data concerning tungsten-based medical shields, specifically unit dose transport pigs, may lead to unnecessary exposure to medical personnel. Available research comparing lead to sintered tungsten shows that tungsten is approximately 1.5 - 10.0 times more effective as a radiation shield. However, this research lacks high-energy vs. low-energy...
The purpose of this study was to apply the Combined Index (Con, a hazard screening tool, developed by Dr. Debra Forman of EPA Region III Office of Air Radiation and Toxics Division, to the 1994 and 1995 Oregon Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) for pollution prevention and facility targeting analysis....
