IS EARLY CONVERSION TO MTOR INHIBITORS REPRESENT A SUITABLE CHOICE IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS? A SYSTEMIC REVIEW OF MEDIUM-TERM OUTCOMES

Is Early Conversion to mTOR Inhibitors Represent a Suitable Choice in Renal Transplant Recipients? A Systemic Review of Medium-term Outcomes

Background: Immunosuppressive therapies are important parts of renal transplantation.Objective: To assess the present literature on the effectiveness of early introduction of mTOR inhibitors with or without calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) in renal transplant recipients in terms of renal functioning and graft survival.Methods: The current literature wa

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) Replicase and Movement Protein Function Synergistically in Facilitating TMV Spread by Lateral Diffusion in the Plasmodesmal Desmotubule of Nicotiana benthamiana

Virus spread through plasmodesmata (Pd) is mediated by virus-encoded movement here proteins (MPs) that modify Pd structure and function.The MP of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMVMP) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) integral membrane protein that binds viral RNA (vRNA), forming a vRNA:MP:ER complex.It has been hypothesized that TMVMP causes Pd to dilate, t

Optimal Selection of Rotor Bar Number for Minimizing Torque and Current Pulsations Due to Rotor Slot Harmonics in Three-Phase Cage Induction Motors

The paper develops a method to choose here the number of rotor bars in order to eliminate rotor slot harmonics in stator current spectrum and pulsation torques that are their consequence.Mains-fed, three-phase cage induction motors with the most common number of pole pairs and number of stator slots, that result in integer slot winding, are analyze
