PURPOSE: To determine whether a transient hypercoagulable state is induced by the uterine
artery embolization (UAE) procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Serial periprocedure …

(25R)-spirost-5-en-3β-ol, also known as diosgenin (DSG), exerts antiproliferative activity on
diverse cell lines, induces apoptosis, and acts as a chemopreventative agent. However, the …

Objectives Zinc and copper are important to protect cells from oxidative stress and to enhance
immunity. An association between low zinc levels and the severity of acute respiratory …

In this work, a sustainable way for biodiesel production is presented. It consists in performing
the transesterification reaction by a high shear mixing assistance at room temperature and …

We report a case of mechanical thrombectomy in which a new device, the Retriever, was used
for acute cerebral ischemia in the setting of extensive occlusion of the left internal carotid …

This paper describes a sustainable alternative for biodiesel production. It consists in producing
an emulsion by a high shear mixing process (4000 rpm) between two immiscible liquids (…

It is shown that dopachrome (2-carboxy-2,3-dihydroindole-5,6-quinone) tautomerase (DCT)
is a glycoprotein containing N-linked oligosaccharides. The enzymic activity can be …

The regioselective opening of the ring E in spirostan sapogenins provides new dihydropyran
derivatives. This novel side chain is obtained after a Lewis acid mediated acetolysis …

Introduction: Neem tree, whose scientific name is Azadirachta indica, is a medicinal plant
used by its antiseptic, antiviral, antipyretic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, …

The spirostanic steroidal side-chain of diosgenin and hecogenin was modified to produce
22-oxocholestane derivatives. This type of side-chain was obtained in good yields through a …
