Moderate to severe dry eye was found in 13 of 14 patients with mixed connective tissue disease and Sjogren’s syndrome (92.8%).

CONCLUSIONS: Sjogren’s syndrome, particularly with moderate to severe dry eye, is frequent in patients with mixed connective tissue disease. These findings alert the physician regarding the importance of the appropriate diagnosis

of this syndrome in such patients.”
“”"Pharmaceutical Equivalence of Ciprofloxacin Tablets in Argentina”". Different quality parameters were assayed in ciprofloxacin tablets (CP) 500 mg, obtained from pharmacies and hospitals of Bahia Blanca city, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ciprofloxacin, a class II/IV drug in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System, is a second generation

quinolone antibiotic and is frequently PF-04929113 clinical trial prescribed for urinary infection treatment.]be following assays were completed: label evaluation, identity, uniformity of dosage units, drug assay and dissolution test and profile, Selleckchem AR-13324 following USP 30 and BP 2008 requirements. Mathematical and statistical comparative models were used to characterize the dissolution profiles. The purpose of this work was to perform a comparative study of commercially available CP tablets in Argentina and ascertain pharmaceutical equivalence. We conclude that not all tested products are pharmaceutical equivalents.”
“Aim: To evaluate whether separation anxiety disorder (SAD) develops in the later life of the infants, who were separated from their mothers in relation to being in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: A group of 57 children, ages over 6 years old who were cared in NICU has been evaluated Small molecule library cell assay retrospectively by using the SAD diagnostic scale which is adapted according to DSM-IV. Another age and sex matched 50 children who admitted to the outpatient unit were selected as control group. Results: We found that the scores and incidence of SAD were increased among children who were cared in the NICU and both were correlated with the duration of stay in the NICU. Conclusion: The NICU should be arranged to support the development of the baby. Families should be informed about the necessity of sustaining an early

mother-infant interaction. By supporting mother-infant interaction, it will be provided that the baby will establish a more secure relation with his/her mother, develop more healthy and have less behavior problems in the future life.”
“Diffusion spectrum imaging reveals detailed local diffusion properties at the expense of substantially long imaging times. It is possible to accelerate acquisition by undersampling in q-space, followed by image reconstruction that exploits prior knowledge on the diffusion probability density functions (pdfs). Previously proposed methods impose this prior in the form of sparsity under wavelet and total variation transforms, or under adaptive dictionaries that are trained on example datasets to maximize the sparsity of the representation.
