We report five urothelial carcinomas (one primary and four metastatic) with pseudosarcomatous stromal reaction. The exuberant stromal reaction led to a histologic misdiagnosis in three of the original small biopsy specimens. The differential diagnoses of primary spindle cell lesions of urinary tract include spindle cel... |
Ganglia in the hand are uncommon, and compression of a nerve by such a lesion is rare . We are reporting a case of atrophy of the first dorsal interosseus and adductor pollicis muscles due to compression of the distal portion of the deep palmar branch of the ulnar nerve by a ganglion. There are two good reviews of othe... |
ABSTRACT Three kinds of commercial zirconia powders with compositions (1–x)ZrO2–xY2O3 (x = 0, 3 and 8 mol-%) were sintered at 1300–1600°C in their free-standing granules. The as-received powder with x = 0 is monoclinic (M) phase. Both as-received powders with x = 3 and 8 show mixed phases dominated by tetragonal (T). T... |
In November 2017, Hecht and Kamlofsky submitted HK17, a quaternion(octonion)-based Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol, to NIST post-quantum cryptography project, and thought that at least O(p8) arithmetic operations are needed for a passive adversary to recover the shared key where p is the modulo used in the scheme.... |
In a series of 50 consecutive renal allograft patients, 4 developed lymphoceles and 1 developed a seroma which later became infected. In no instance could the fluid collection be held responsible for deterioration in graft function. Two of the lymphoceles occurred with ureteric strictures and perirenal abscess was asso... |
We consider a heteroscedastic nonparametric regression model with an autoregressive error process of finite known order p. The heteroscedasticity is incorporated using a scaling function defined at uniformly spaced design points on an interval [0,1]. We provide an innovative nonparametric estimator of the variance func... |

Dialogical processes play a crucial role, resulting in ... |
OBJECTIVE |
to determine the time delay from symptom onset to diagnosis and treatment of patients with persistant ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). |
DESIGN |
prospective observational study. |
METHOD |
patients with symptoms onset < 24 h admitted in all 10 cardiac intensive care units in one French administrative region (Alsace). Data were recorded by doctors on duty soon after hospital admission. Patients with STEMI during hospital stay or as a complication of cardiac interventional procedure were excluded. The Krus... |
RESULT |
from April to October 2004, 326 patients were admitted for STEMI. Median time between the symptoms onset and the patient's call for medical help was 60 minutes. General practitioners were the first medical contact in 41%. The time from symptoms onset to first medical intervention and from first medical intervention to ... |
CONCLUSION |
our study documents the beneficial effect of a direct call to Emergency Medical Services. Our results also underscore the need for an effort to reduce the time to offer the best appropriate reperfusion techniques in STEMI pts: speed up the admission in the cath-lab, think about pre-hospital thrombolysis followed by cor... |

Methods All employees, 20–55 years of age by inclusion (n=456), were examined annually for up... |
Freight transportation is important for the national economy in many countries. An efficient distribution of products within supply chains may lower the associated costs and allow setting competitive prices to increase the number of sales. Many supply chain players use the cross-docking terminals to facilitate the carg... |
Introduction: Glucocorticoids are commonly prescribed medications associated with significant mortality and morbidity, even when used at physiological dosages. The endogenous glucocorticoids are secreted in a complex rhythm consisting of both a daily circadian rhythm and a more rapid and dynamic ultradian rhythm that i... |
Many radiotracer methods based on the phenomenon of isotope exchange are used in the studies of interfaces. These methods enable an investigation of heterogeneous systems at equilibrium. Studies of the kinetics of isotope exchange also give valuable information about systems in which ions appearing in the solution are ... |
In order to achieve the less-invasive surgical operation, the operation using robots is widely studied. In the surgical operation, it is important for an operator to get haptic information of a patient. The haptic information is the interactive information, i.e. action-reaction forces. Bilateral control is introduced t... |
Pickled fruits are popular condiment not only in Malaysia but in many other countries as well. During the natural pickling process, the lactic acid bacteria are known to be able to produce several antibacterial compounds. The pickled Spondias dulcis or ambarella is among commonly consumed pickled fruit in Malaysia and ... |
HIGHLIGHTS |
Pickled Spondias dulcis is a promising source of lactic acid bacteria having antibacterial activity against foodborne bacterial pathogens |
Two isolates of LAB identified as Lactobacillus fermentum (LABS1) and Enterococcus durans (LABS2) from pickled Spondias dulcis (ambarella) possessed antibacterial activity against a total of 10 Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens |
The antibacterial activity using cell free supernatant (CFS) of both LABS1 and LABS2 suggested that they may have potential as natural preservative |
