Meso-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry Studies of Neurovascular Flows In Vitro

Abstract:
The incorporation of 14C-glucosamine and 3H-leucine into PIVKA-X and factor X has been studied in Macaca mulatta by means of a monospecific precipitating antiserum. No difference in the incorporation into PIVKA-X and factor X was found. The half-lives of PIVKA-X and factor X were similar (about 30-35 h and 27-31 h respectively) indicating that the vitamin K-induced modifications did not alter the survival of protein. A Russell's-viper venom/cephalin test system for factor X was more sensitive to inhibition by PIVKA-X than was a tissue thromboplastin-based system.

Case Studies
X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
Observational Studies
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...
Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
