Drugs that inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme slow the progression of renal insufficiency in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Whether these drugs have a similar action other diseases is not known. We conducted study to determine effect angiotensin-converting–enzyme inhibitor benazepril on various underlying diseases.
Abstract The kinetics of the pyrolysis lignocellulosic materials was studied with a view providing simple kinetic models for engineering purposes. Experimental data obtained by means thermal analysis techniques suggest that fine particles (below 1 mm) can be considered to controlled kinetics. rate one biomass type represented sum corresponding rates main components (cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose). each these simulated scheme capable predicting and final weight‐loss wide range parameters...
Abstract The present work provides a rationally‐based model to describe the pyrolysis of single solid particle biomass. As phenomena governing biomass are both chemical (primary and secondary reactions) physical (mainly heat transfer phenomena), presented couples transport with kinetics. thermal properties included in considered be linear functions temperature conversion, have been estimated from literature data or by fitting experimental data. reaction has found represented two values: one...
Background. Iron deficiency (ID) is the main cause of hyporesponsiveness to erythropoietin in haemodialysis patients and its detection value since it easily corrected by intravenous iron. Markers iron supply erythron, including erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin (Er‐ZPP), percentage hypochromic erythrocytes (Hypo), reticulocyte haemoglobin content (CHr) soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), may be more accurate predictors ID than ferritin (Fer) saturation (TSat), but relative diagnostic power...
ABSTRACT. Balloon angioplasty (PTA) is an established treatment modality for stenosis in dysfunctional arteriovenous fistulae (AVF), although most studies showing efficacy have been retrospective, uncontrolled, and nonrandomized. In addition, it unknown whether correction of not associated with significant hemodynamic, functional, clinical abnormality may improve survival AVF. This study was a prospective controlled open trial to evaluate prophylactic PTA access dysfunction improves native,...
Abstract A method for the direct determination of cellulose and lignin content biomass has been developed. The assumes that negligible interactions exist between macrocomponents it is based on analysis thermogravimetric (TG) pyrolysis data. TG‐weighed sum seems to be reliable less time consuming than conventional methods content. Some limitations macrocomponent approach in description are also discussed. In particular, hemicellulose data analyzed. use xylans as substitute materials have...
Epoxidized vegetable oils are largely employed as plasticizers instead of harmful phthalates, and they can be a sustainable choice to produce lubricants intermediates. The aim this work is study the reaction soybean oil epoxidation using safer reactants. was carried out hydrogen peroxide 34 wt % acetic acid commonly used at 60 formic reduce risk detonation corrosion. Moreover, focuses on efficacy presence an catalyst sulfuric effect its concentration. It found that it not possible carry...
