neodymium pyrocatechin disulfonate (NPD)

02/01/2009 - "Improvement in sleep apnea during NPD versus CAPD is associated with better fluid and uremic clearance and reduced upper airway congestion during sleep."
09/01/2006 - "For validation of the efficacy of NPD in alleviating sleep apnea, a fixed sequence intervention study was performed in which 24 incident PD patients underwent one PSG study during mandatory cycler-assisted NPD while awaiting their turn for CAPD training and a second PSG recording shortly after they were established on stable CAPD. "
09/01/2006 - "The prevalence of sleep apnea was 4.2% during NPD and 33.3% during CAPD (P = 0.016). "
09/01/2006 - "It was hypothesized that nocturnal peritoneal dialysis (NPD) also is effective in correcting sleep apnea in patients who receive continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD). "
02/01/2009 - "Among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, nocturnal PD (NPD) is known to improve sleep apnea compared with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), but the contributing factors are unclear. "

07/01/2009 - "The aim of our study was to examine the pathological changes occurring in the PNS and in the spinal cord in an AMSKO model of Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) Type A. "
01/01/1985 - "A complex neuropathological study of two cases of Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) type C (NPDC) revealed some novel features in the chemical pathology of the neuronal storage. "
12/19/1975 - "A histochemical study is reported of regional differences of the lipid storage in a case of Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) type C. "
12/01/2015 - "Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) is a rare syndrome caused by abnormal intracellular sphingomyelin lipid storage in cells known as "Pick cells." NPD can start in childhood or develop insidiously, with a predilection for reticuloendothelial cells and the nervous system. "
03/01/2015 - "Patients with ASM deficiency are classified as having types A and B Niemann-Pick disease (NPD). "

12/30/2014 - "Significantly greater somatosensory gating (SG) during the anticipation and the observation of pain in others was observed in NPD compared with CC subjects, but this difference was not associated with differences in self-pain perception. "
03/01/2016 - "The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of three different standing rest-break conditions on a group of pain developers (PD) and non-pain developers (NPD) engaged in prolonged seated work. "
12/30/2014 - "These findings demonstrated a stronger somatosensory resonance in the high psychopathic trait NPD group that suggests an increased somatic representation of observed pain despite lower dispositional empathy."
12/30/2014 - "NPD compared with CC subjects showed similar thermal pain thresholds, but significantly higher pain pressure thresholds (PPT). "
10/01/2011 - "Although gender differences between the pain groups were found, PD and NPD do not use different postural changes during unconstrained standing, showing that changes to postural control may be an "adaptive", rather than "causative" response to their LBP development. "

09/29/2012 - "To further confirm the biological molecule present in PD we analyzed its chromatographic fraction through mass spectroscopy, NMR and FT-IR studies and characterized it to be a tri-terpenoid, a derivative of betulinic acid with a molecular formula C(30)H(46)O(2.) Thus, overall results suggest that nano-encapsulation of PD (NPD) increases drug bioavailability and thereby has a better chemo-preventive action against lung cancer in vivo and on A549 cells in vitro than that of PD."
09/29/2012 - "We tested relative efficacy of the extract of Phytolacca decandra (PD) and its PLGA nano-encapsulated form (NPD) in mice intoxicated with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) (25 mg/kg b.w.) plus sodium-arsenite (SA) (10 mg/kg b.w.) and on A549 lung cancer cells in vitro. "

10/01/2004 - "Both male and female animals fed a low-phosphate diet (LPD) ingested significantly greater amounts of PiH(2)O daily than their normal phosphate diet (NPD) controls, and per 100 g of body weight (BW), the female animals fed LPD tended to ingest greater amounts of PiH(2)O than male rats fed LPD. "
05/15/2014 - "At cull (24 wk), LPD males had elevated adiposity (P = 0.04), reduced heart-to-body weight ratio (P = 0.04), and elevated circulating TNF-α levels (P = 0.015) compared with NPD males. "
01/01/2013 - "Compared with the NPD and LPD groups, the LPD+KA group showed a delay in body weight loss, an attenuation in soleus muscle mass loss and a decrease of the mean cross-sectional area of soleus muscle fibers. "
10/01/2011 - "All NPD and female PD were consistent for many of the variables; however, male PD did not show similar patterns to the other groups, especially for anterior-posterior (AP) shift amplitude and total body weight asymmetry. "
02/01/2011 - "Although final body weights did not differ, total intra-abdominal fat weight, expressed relative to body weight, was significantly lower in the PD group than in the NPD group (P < 0.05). "
