Deficiency of apoptosis is a hallmark of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells. M2Yn is a natural extract from plants of central Asia, identified for its antiangiogenic properties and its ability to block the migration of malignant cells. Here, we report that in vitro treatment of cells derived from CLL patients wit... |
A large percentage of the data published on the web is tabular data, commonly in the comma-separated values (CSV) format. URI fragment identifiers for CSV provide possibilities for data publishers (web servers) to refer to specific parts (i.e., fragments) of a CSV file using URIs as well as for data consumers (web clie... |
We prove that both the liquid drop model in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with an attractive background nucleus and the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizs\"{a}cker (TFDW) model attain their ground-states \emph{for all} masses as long as the external potential $V(x)$ in these models is of long range, that is, it decays slower than Newtonian... |
Circular seal identification based on template matching, as a classic algorithm, has two own shortcomings. The first is that it is invalid to seal with rotation angle. The second is that the algorithm is complex. In view of this two shortcomings, the seal identification based on adaptive rotation and approximation is p... |
1. Renin-like enzymes have been isolated from aorta, plasma and kidney tissue of the rat. The enzymes have been compared with respect to pH optima, molecular weight and isoelectric points. 2. Two distinct molecular-weight forms were isolated from plasma. The high-molecular-weight enzyme (mol. wt. > 150 000) appeared to... |
From March 1997 through November 1997, 8 allogenic bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients developed Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia on the hematology service at UCLA Medical Center (Los Angeles). Five of these patients had undergone transplantation during the same hospitalization that S. maltophilia bacteremia w... |
We give algorithms for finding the k shortest paths (not required to be simple) connecting a pair of vertices in a digraph. Our algorithms output an implicit representation of these paths in a digraph with n vertices and m edges, in time O(m+n log n+k). We can also find the k shortest paths from a given source s to eac... |
The use of IP tunneling has incredibly increased during the last years. It is needed in some contexts such as IP-based ITS communication but implies overhead. This overhead can be reduced using some techniques as header compression. Among them, RoHC is the most advanced header compression standard wich support errorpro... |
The increasing use of de‐torsion of the ovaries may result in re‐torsion. This review addresses risk of re‐torsion and describes preventive strategies to avoid re‐torsion in pre‐menarcheal girls, and fertile and pregnant women. We clinically reviewed PubMed, Embase, Trip and Cochrane databases. The main outcome measure... |
Decellularized porcine aorta (PA) is a promising biomaterial for vascular substitutes. However, decellularized PAs suffer from mechanical weakness and have less pores, which limit cellular ingrowth into the grafts and hinder the remodeling. In this study, PAs were decellularized by vacuum-freeze-thawing cycles and 0.3%... |
Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) impair the prognosis when they occur concomitantly. Recent telemedical studies suggest that HF patients with AF may derive a greater benefit from telemedicine care but the results are inconsistent. The rate of newly detected AF in HF patients by daily non-invasive electr... |
We aimed to investigate the detection of new atrial fibrillation in patients assigned to RPM in comparison to patients assigned to usual care (UC) in the |
TIM-HF2 trial. |
The prospective, multicentre and controlled TIM-HF2 trial randomised 1538 patients (765 RPM, 773 UC). All patients had a 12-channel ECG at baseline and after one year at the final study visit. Patients who were assigned to RPM additionally transmitted a daily ECG to the telemedical centre (TMC). We excluded all patien... |
569 patients had SR and 310 patients had AF at baseline. The proportion of patients with AF was nearly the same in the RPM (159, 36.0%) and the UC (151, 34.6%) group. 68 patients (24.0%) were detected with new atrial fibrillation in the RPM group compared to 22 patients (7.8%) in the UC trial arm during the one-year f... |
In patients with heart failure and daily ECG transmission, atrial fibrillation was detected three times more frequently in comparison to usual care within one year. |
Type of funding source: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): The TIM-HF2 study was supported by a research grant of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (grant numbers 13KQ0904A, 13KQ0904B, 13KQ1104A). The TIM-HF2 study was a part of the research and development project “Ges... |
How do intracellular proteolytic systems change with age? |
One of the common features of cells from senescent tissues is the accumulation of abnormal proteins. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of those abnormal proteins. A defect in proteolytic systems usually responsible for the elimination of altered proteins from the cells could clearly contribute... |
The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique is widely used in the study of the corrosion of metallic materials. This method also allows for the electrical characterization at the ceramic–metal interface in contact with an aqueous solution composed of chloride ions. EIS makes it possible to discriminate t... |
In remote areas, it is always preferred to generate electricity using wind power. A double-fed induction generator has always been a good choice to generate electric power from wind. It is not easy to detect internal short circuits on stator windings especially for those occurring within a few turns of the stator windi... |

BACKGROUND |
With the 2-way mixed model, one a fixed factor and the other random, the procedure followed to test statistical significance of the random factor has been the focus of a heated controversy in theoretical and applied statistics, and the debating continues even now. One of the main consequences of this controversy is tha... |
METHOD |
In this paper, we deal with a detailed analysis about the controversy of mixed model and the decision about one of two basic options, the non restrictive and the restrictive model. |
RESULTS |
Three key questions we consider to go beyond the controversy are: (1) the two classical models are equivalent, (2) the marginality principle do not allow to test main effects in presence of interactive significant effects and (3) the relevance of linear mixed approach to analyze models with fixed and random effects. |
CONCLUSIONS |
We propose the simple solution of using the mixed linear approach with REML estimation instead of the classical linear approach, which is really unapplicable in this context.P83: COMBINED IMMUNODEFICIENCY AND IMPAIRED PI3K SIGNALING IN A PATIENT WITH BIALLELIC LCP2 VARIANTS |
