ELEVATED PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR-BB CONCENTRATIONS IN PREMATURE NEONATES WHO DEVELOP CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE

Elevated platelet-derived growth factor-BB concentrations in premature neonates who develop chronic lung disease

Abstract Background Chronic lung disease (CLD) in the preterm newborn is associated with inflammation and fibrosis.Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), a potent chemotactic growth factor, may mediate the fibrotic component of CLD.The objectives of this study were to determine if tracheal aspirate (TA) concentrations of PDGF-BB increase the

A Real-Time Hydrodynamic-Based Obstacle Avoidance System for Non-holonomic Mobile Robots with Curvature Constraints

The harmonic potential field of an incompressible nonviscous fluid governed by the Laplace’s Equation has shown its potential for being beneficial to autonomous unmanned vehicles to generate smooth, natural-looking, and predictable paths for obstacle avoidance.The Mulr Tape Halters streamlines generated by the boundary value problem of the La

WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR BREAKING EU LAW?

Financial sanctions, as lump sum and Iron penalty payments, can be imposed to Member States that failed to implement a judgement establishing an infringement.This mechanism was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty and further developed by hookah the Lisbon Treaty.This paper is an analysis of Article 260 TFEU and examines the evolution of the mechani
