Real-time nonlinear stabilization techniques are often limited by inefficient or intractable online and/or offline computations, or a lack guarantee for global stability. In this paper, we explore the use of Control Contraction Metrics (CCM) for nonlinear stabilization because it offers tractable offline computations t... |
OBJECTIVES |
Persistent diarrhea is a common complication after solid-organ transplant, including kidney transplant. Data on duodenal villous atrophy as a cause of persistent diarrhea in renal transplant recipients are scarce. |
MATERIALS AND METHODS |
We conducted a prospective analysis of 207 patients who received renal transplants from 2009 to 2012 with persistent diarrhea and who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and duodenal biopsies. Duodenal biopsies were examined for duodenal villous atrophy. Age, sex, transplant duration, and drugs were compared bet... |
RESULTS |
Of 207 renal transplant recipients, 104 patients (49.8%) displayed duodenal villous atrophy. Of these, 92 (88.5%) were male patients. The mean age of patients with duodenal villous atrophy was 34.9 ± 10.3 years. The mean onset of persistent diarrhea in DVA-positive patients posttransplant was 2.16 ± 0.8 years. Celiac d... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Duodenal villous atrophy is highly prevalent in renal transplant recipients irrespective of age, sex, and posttransplant duration. We found tropical sprue, giardiasis, immunoproliferative small intestinal disease, and celiac disease to be important causes of duodenal villous atrophy. Therefore, duodenal biopsy is recom... |
Multi-bit continuous time Sigma Delta ($\Sigma\Delta$) modulators are the necessary drivers of modern high speed and low power analog to digital conversion technology.

OBJECTIVE |
To investigate the activation of the BMP7 and laminin pathway is associated with glioma cell proliferation and differentiation. |
PATIENTS AND METHODS |
We enrolled 65 patients with primary operable glioma. Laminin and BMP7 protein expression and its subcellular localization were studied by immunofluorescence. |
RESULTS |
We detected a higher level of BMP7 expression in glioma tissue in patients with a lower grade of glioma who had a lower eosinophil count. Compared to patients with a higher grade of glioma, we observed a lower level of laminin expression in patients with a lower grade of glioma. |
CONCLUSIONS |
Our data indicated a potential link between eosinophil counts and the expression levels of laminin and BMP7 in glioma differentiation.Out-of-plane coupling using thin glass based arrayed waveguide components |

OBJECTIVE |
The purpose of this article is to quantitatively assess the rate of resolution of clot burden detected on pulmonary CT angiography (CTA) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). |
MATERIALS AND METHODS |
We evaluated 111 consecutive patients (55 men and 56 women) in a retrospective cohort who were diagnosed with PE by pulmonary CTA and had at least one follow-up pulmonary CTA within 1 year. Two radiologists in consensus measured the volume of each clot using a semiautomated quantification program. Semiquantitative meas... |
RESULTS |
The mean (± SD) clot volume per study was 3403.3 ± 6505.6 mm(3) at baseline and 531.6 ± 2383.5 mm(3) at the follow-up pulmonary CTA. Overall, 85 patients (77% ) showed complete resolution at the follow-up pulmonary CTA. Complete resolution was seen in 17 of 30 patients (56.7%) at a follow-up interval of 1-14 days, in 2... |
CONCLUSION |
Clot burden resolved completely in 77% of patients during the follow-up period. Our analysis showed that clots resolved faster in the peripheral arteries than in the central pulmonary arteries.Effect of feeding sweet-potato condensed distillers solubles on intake and urinary excretion of minerals in Japanese Black stee... |
