Dexamethasone effect on sFas/sFas ligand following cardiopulmonary bypass [PDF]
Steroids decrease systemic inflammation following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Membrane bound Fas is a receptor found on many cells, which stimulates apoptosis when cleaved by Fas ligand (FasL). FasL also has a proinflammatory role and is released following ischaemia-reperfusion. We wished to investigate the time course of release of the soluble forms

The Efficiency of Indian Banks: A DEA, Malmquist and SFA Analysis with Bad Output
In the recent years, the burgeoning non-performing assets (NPAs) have become a matter of concern and scrutiny in India as the surge in NPAs impinge on the credit services of the banks, make the banks vulnerable to external shocks, leave them with less ...

Influence of the Coulomb potential on above-threshold ionization: a quantum-orbit analysis beyond the strong-field approximation [PDF]
We perform a detailed analysis of how the interplay between the residual binding potential and a strong laser field influences above-threshold ionization (ATI), employing a semi-analytical, Coulomb-corrected strong-field approximation (SFA) in which the ...

Palmitoleic acid prevents palmitic acid-induced macrophage activation and consequent p38 MAPK-mediated-skeletal muscle insulin resistance [PDF]
Obesity and saturated fatty acid (SFA) treatment are both associated with skeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) and increased macrophage infiltration. However, the relative effects of SFA and unsaturated fatty acid (UFA)-activated macrophages on muscle
