Accurate assessment of risk factors for nosocomial acquisition of colonization by antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is often confounded by scarce data on antibiotic use. A 12-month, nested, multicenter cohort study was conducted. Target ARB were methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and ...

This paper reports how ARB, Inc., has completed a major reconditioning project, on a major refined products trunkline between California and Phoenix, Ariz. The reconditioning project included 35 mi of 8-in. refined products line and, in general, was a straightforward take-up, recondition and replay operation on an older line installed in the late 1940s.

As part of continued efforts to understand the mechanisms of 1,5-?-l-arabinanases better, some arabinan-like iminosugar oligosaccharides were synthesized. An iminosugar analogue of arabinobiose was found to be a good inhibitor of the arabinanase Arb93A from Fusarium graminearum. Structures were determined for complexes of this inhibitor with wild-type ...

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has crucial importance in maintaining blood pressure; thus blockade of RAAS is an effective antihypertensive treatment choice. The final step in RAAS stimulation is aldosterone secretion by angiotensin II, which leads to increased renal tubular sodium absorption and potassium secretion. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) ...

Rationale. The goal of antihypertensive treatment is to reduce risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Apart from blood pressure lowering per se, also reducing the activities of the renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic nervous system appears to be important. Angiotensin II receptor blocker drugs (ARBs) have provided a useful class of anti-hypertensive drugs. ...

Angiotensin type 1 (AT₁) receptor blocker (ARB) ameliorates progression of chronic kidney disease. Whether this protection is due solely to blockade of AT₁, or whether diversion of angiotensin II from the AT₁ to the available AT₂ receptor, thus potentially enhancing ...

Clinical Pharmacology is commonly accepted to be a bridging discipline between basic science observations and clinical practice. Today, it should be a major task of the clinical pharmacologist in academia to provide support in the interpretation of preclinical and clinical study data, to develop evidence-based treatment guidelines and to serve as drug expert supporting all disciplines of clinical ...

Bulk aluminium has been produced by warm-rolling followed by cold-rolling of commercial purity (99% purity) aluminium foil. The bonding appeared perfect from observation with the naked eye, light and transmission electron microscopy. By comparison with bulk aluminium of similar purity (AA1200) rolled to a similar strain (90%RA), the roll-bonded metal showed a much higher density of high-angle ...

Aluminum (Al) is a commonly used matrix for research reactor fuel plates. It has been found that a reaction between the fuel and the aluminum matrix may reduce or increase the irradiation stability of the fuel. To further understand the contribution of the reaction to the irradiation stability, experiments to develop a non-reacting matrix were performed. The work focused on magnesium (Mg), which ...

Achieving optimal blood pressure and albuminuria control is a major therapeutic treatment goal in patients with renal insufficiency. Angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARB) are the mainstay of therapy in these patients. However, despite these therapies many patients remain at high risk of renal or cardiovascular disease that ...

Background and objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly after cardiac surgery. Most patients who undergo cardiac surgery receive long-term treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB). The aim of this study was to determine whether long-term use of ACEI/ARB is associated with an ...

Background: Microalbuminuria, defined as urine albumin to urine creatinine ratio of 30 to <300 mg/g, is an established risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population. Low-grade albuminuria (<30 mg/g) is considered a marker for subclinical vascular damage that predisposes to future cardiovascular diseases and death. Lowering urinary albumin excretion reduces ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have been shown to decrease morbidity and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients in randomized-controlled trials; observational studies have confirmed this benefit among patients discharged with HF. Investigating the benefit of ACEIs or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) among general HF patients has important implications ...

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the main regulators of blood pressure, renal hemodynamics, and volume homeostasis in normal physiology, and contributes to the development of renal and cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Therefore, pharmacologic blockade of RAAS constitutes an attractive strategy in preventing the progression of renal and CV diseases. This concept has been ...

PurposeChronic kidney disease has serious implications with a high risk for progressive loss of renal function, increased cardiovascular events as well as a substantial financial burden. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is activated in chronic kidney disease, especially in diabetes and hypertension, which are the leading causes of chronic kidney disease. Angiotensin converting ...

An evidence gap exists in comparing the effectiveness of angiotensin receptor II blockers (ARBs) for hypertension with that of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs). We identified elderly hypertensive patients in whom ACEI/ARB therapy had been initiated after hospitalization for coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), or stroke and ...

Recently, we found that an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) restored the circadian rhythm of the blood pressure (BP) from a non-dipper to dipper pattern, similar to that achieved with sodium intake restriction and diuretics. ARB enhanced natriuresis during the day, while BP was markedly lower during the night, resulting in the dipper pattern. In the ...

A statistical procedure was developed in order that post-irradiation particle sizes and volume percents of boron carbide dispersed in Zircaloy might be found. The samples examined were roll-bonded, plate-type burnable poison elements containing two meat sections of boron carbide particles dispersed in Zircaloy-2 per plate. The transverse sections are obtained by ...

Two types of texturally and compositionally similar breccias that consist largely of fragmental debris from meteorite impacts occur at the Apollo 16 lunar site: Feldspathic fragmental breccias (FFBS) and ancient regolith breccias (ARBs). Both types of breccia are composed of a suite of mostly feldspathic components derived from the early crust of the Moon and mafic impact-melt ...

Background. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARB) decrease cardiovascular mortality and slow the progression of renal disease in non-transplant patients, but their impact on kidney transplant outcome has not been well established.Methods.
