Mechanisms underlying tolerance to and dependence on the anticonvulsant effect of clonazepam are not clear. Autoradiography of the NMDA receptors in amygdala-kindled rats with tolerance to and dependence on the anticonvulsant effect of clonazepam was carried out. When tolerance developed, the binding of [3H] TCP (N-(1-thieny) cyclohexylpiperidine) to NMDA receptors was found to be increased at the polymorphocellular layer of the right CA1, and decreased at the molecular layer of the cerebellar ansiform lobule. On day 7 of the discontinuation of clonazepam, the binding did not change further. These changes may be responsible for the tolerance to and dependence on the anticonvulsant effect of clonazepam. However, the exact significance of these results should be further investigated.

Background: Data in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) xenografts defined the seleno-L-methionine (SLM) dose and the plasma selenium concentrations associated with the enhancement of HIF1α/2α degradation, stabilization of tumor vasculature, enhanced drug delivery, and efficacy of axitinib. The data provided the rationale for the development of this phase I clinical trial of SLM and axitinib in advanced or metastatic relapsed ccRCC.
Patients And Methods: Patients were ≥18 years with histologically and radiologically confirmed advanced or metastatic ccRCC who had received at least one prior systemic therapy, which could include axitinib (last dose ≥6 months prior to enrollment).

The selective number-dependent arbitrary phase gates form a powerful class of quantum gates, imparting arbitrarily chosen phases to the Fock states of a cavity. However, for short pulses, coherent errors limit the performance. Here, we demonstrate in theory and experiment that such errors can be completely suppressed, provided that the pulse times exceed a specific limit.

The SPIRIT statement, designed for trial protocol content, does not adequately cover the distinctive features of EPDF trials. Recent findings indicate that the protocol contents in past EPDF trials frequently lacked completeness and clarity.

Comprehensive and transparent reporting of these studies is critical for their accurate and critical interpretation, which may improve and expedite therapeutic development. However, quality of reporting of design characteristics and results from EPDF trials is often variable and incomplete.

Background: The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is dependent on the diagnostic criteria used and there is no consensus on screening methods and diagnostic criteria. The International Association for Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) recently put forward new diagnostic criteria and encourages its adoption worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of GDM and to compare the foeto-maternal outcomes of women diagnosed with GDM in the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa using the WHO 1999 and IADPSG criteria.
