The current generation of Operating Systems (OSes) and apps are all about translating the interaction vocabulary to a smaller device and a touch screen. The next generation of OSes that will dominate the next twenty years of computing will be all about translating the apps and the interaction so that it leverages the A... |
This report emphasizes the importance of obtaining high‐quality mammograms in patients with breast symptoms. An initial negative report in a 40‐year‐old woman with no palpable breast lump unfortunately was based upon inadequate films which, had they not been reviewed and repeat mammography been arranged, would have led... |
For next generation mobile communications, Cloud-RAN (C-RAN) is an emerging network architecture to provide broadband services. C-RAN separates computation entities, i.e., Baseband Units (BBUs), from base stations (BSs) and puts BBUs in a cloud located in a centralized network. With C-RAN, UEs can receive data from mul... |
It is well known that acoustic emission (AE) signals, generated by external impacts or damages such as crack initiation, mainly propagate in the form of Lamb waves in plate-like structures. In this work, MEMS-based resonant capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs), which are designed for sensing out-of-... |
Reflections gratings with binary profiles are presented. The binary gratings are composed of a minilattice with feature sizes comparable to the wavelength of the incident light. The overall structure is designed in such a way that it imitates a conventional blazed grating. With the help of the diffraction grating high ... |

The energy sector of trinidad and tobago (T&T), with its nationally determined contributions (NDCs), is still struggling for its place in mainstream academic literature. The review paper aims to identify the prospects of low-cost energy conservation measures in the residential sector of T&T. The review follows a four-s... |
Mild vasovagal hypotension occurred in two normal male volunteers during insertion of indwelling venous cannulae. In spite of a rapid intravenous fluid load (3.6‐4.6 litres in 90 min) both subjects passed little urine for 100 min. When the experiment was repeated without vasovagal hypotension, a rapid large diuresis fo... |
Proper development and functioning of an organism depends on precise spatial and temporal expression of all its genes. These coordinated expression-patterns are maintained primarily through the process of transcriptional regulation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by proteins binding to regulatory elements on th... |
1 The following is a brief report on recent research in the region surrounding the Huedan palace complex at Savi, the ruins of which are located in the western corner of the modern Republic of Bénin, West Africa. A major trading destination along the Atlantic coast, scholars often cite the kingdom of Hueda as an exampl... |
As we have said many times, courts and the legal profession do not understand what healthcare practitioners do. Healthcare practitioners are well educated, highly trained, and have a language of their own. Lawyers and judges lack the education to have an understanding of what is involved. Often, they do not even have t... |

The purpose is to understand the aggregation feature of copper oxide nanofluid in a higher-than-room-tempe... |
1. Metabolic balance studies (5 d) for Se were conducted in twenty-four apparently healthy elderly people (age 69·6–85·4 years), and twenty housebound subjects (age 69·9–85·1 years) with chronic disease. During the study the subjects lived in their own homes, ate self-selected diets and continued their normal daily act... |
OBJECTIVE |
to conduct cost-effectiveness analysis of etanercept compared with other biologic therapies in the treatment of moderate or severe rheumatoid arthritis in patients with previous unresponse to immune selective anti-inflammatory derivatives failure. |
METHODS |
a pharmacoeconomic model based on decision analysis to assess the clinical outcome after giving etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab or tocilizumab to treat moderate or severe rheumatoid arthritis was employed. Effectiveness of medications was assessed with improvement rates of 20 % or 70 % of the parameters established ... |
RESULTS |
the model showed that etanercept had the most effective therapeutic response rate: 79.7 % for ACR 20 and 31.4 % for ACR 70, compared with the response to other treatments. Also, etanercept had the lowest cost ($149,629.10 per patient) and had the most cost-effective average ($187,740.40 for clinical success for ACR 20 ... |
CONCLUSIONS |
we demonstrated that treatment with etanercept is more effective and less expensive compared to the other drugs, thus making it more efficient therapeutic option both in terms of means and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.A look to the future 1 |
A new science, Futurology, has come into being. Conferences and symposia, books and reports on Futurology, have become part of the current scene. The approach of the year 2000 makes this science even more meaningful. Besides marking the end of a millenium, what will happen in 2000 may directly concern many of us who ar... |
This paper contains details of new criteria for graph layout, based on the concepts used in graphical design. Current graph layout criteria have been shown to be effective in measuring the quality of a graph layout, but they are ad-hoc and often miss subtle appearance considerations such as balance and distribution. We... |
One view of the design process is that design is a mapping from functional requirements to artifact description. This article presents initial work on a method for mapping between functional requirements and a description of the physical structure of discrete static systems. The representation consists of a set of atom... |
The authors present a biomicroscopic evaluation of vitreal alterations in a large group of patients affected by primary retinitis pigmentosa (RP). 286 RP patients (571 eyes), 153 (305 eyes) males and 133 (266 eyes) females, have been studied; the mean age of this whole group was 37.26 + or - 14.93 years (age range: 5-7... |

Background |
Approximately 30% of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) have causative monogenic variants. SRNS represents glomerular disease resulting from various etiologies, which lead to similar patterns of glomerular damage. Patients with SRNS mainly exhibit focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). There ... |
Methods |
This retrospective study included 119 patients with FSGS, diagnosed using the Columbia classification; all had been referred to our hospital for genetic testing from 2016 to 2021. We conducted comprehensive gene screening of all patients using a targeted next-generation sequencing panel that included 62 podocyte-relate... |
Results |
The distribution of histologic variants according to the Columbia classification was 45% (n=53) FSGS not otherwise specified, 21% (n=25) cellular, 15% (n=18) perihilar, 13% (n=16) collapsing, and 6% (n=7) tip. The median age at end stage kidney disease onset was 37 years; there were no differences in onset age among va... |
Conclusions |
We revealed the distributions of histologic variants of genetic FSGS and nongenetic FSGS in a large patient population. Detailed data concerning gene variants and pathologic findings are important for understanding the etiology of FSGS.[Intravascular invasion of a thymoma from the thymic vein to the right atrium--a cas... |
