RESULTS |
The phenomenological data analysis demonstrated that the perception of women about the experience of chemotherapy is about change, not only of the physical body, but of their identity, and that it considers existential aspects. Three categories emerged from the experience of alopecia, fatigue, and spirituality, respect... |
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS |
Bodily changes, and the existential implications perceived by the women in this study, analyzed from the Merleau-Ponty perspective, makes it possible to consider body concept, and provides support for humanized care based on singularity and the socio-cultural context.Successful management of a congenital portosystemic ... |
A 20-year-old man was referred to pediatrics for hyperbilirubinemia and mental retardation. Abdominal ultrasonography findings were indicative of a portosystemic shunt, and as a shunt between the left branch of the portal vein and inferior vena cava was confirmed by abdominal computed tomography, he was diagnosed with ... |

Electron attachment to PSCl3 was studied in 133-Pa pressure of helium gas at temperatures from 298-550 K. Measurements of rate constants and branching fractions were made in a flowing-afterglow Langmuir-probe (FALP) apparatus. These experiments yielded an electron attachment rate constant of 5.1 x 10(-8) cm3 s(-1) that... |
This paper presents fundamental circuit of a multi-valued static memory cell working as a natural source of chaos. Standard situation is that a pair of the resonant tunneling diodes is connected in series. In our case, three changes have been made to enrich possible dynamical performance of analyzed memory. First chang... |
The ability to precisely move the nanopipette and to measure simultaneously an ion current allows an unprecedented level of nanoscale imaging of living cells – scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM)(Korchev et al., 1997). The speed of data acquisition increased by hopping protocol of scanning (Novak et al., 2009) p... |

This is the first time, to our knowledge, that evidence is presented showing that a polyantigenic immunomodulator (PAI), acting as a biological response modifier, can either induce or suppress HIV expression depending on the viral load of infected PBMC. PAI consists of a mixture of inactivated bacteria with influenza v... |
Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of CO has been performed on supported and unsupported nickel catalysts. The unsupported Ni catalyst consists of a Ni(14 13 13) single crystal which has been studied under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The desorption energy for CO at low CO surface coverage was found to be 119 kJ/m... |
In this paper, we propose a method of improving accuracy of multiclass classification tasks in crowdsourcing. In crowdsourcing, it is important to assign appropriate workers to appropriate tasks. In multiclass classification, different workers are good at different subcategories. In our method, we reorganize a given fl... |
BACKGROUND TALAROMYCES MARNEFFEI infection is a major cause of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–related death in South and Southeast Asia. Guidelines recommend initial treatment with amphotericin B deoxycholate, but this drug has substantial side effects, a high cost, and limited availability. Itraconazole is availab... |

Stone formation in the urinary tract affects about 5–10% of the population in industrialized countries, although it is very rare in other countries such as Greenland or Japan. The high incidence and recurrence rate contribute to making the urolithiasis a serious social problem. Nowadays, urolithiasis must be considered... |
The tungsten carbide - cobalt, (WC-Co) powder is compacted and bonded to on a stainless steel (SUS304) rod by using explosives. In this research, the experiments are conducted using two methods.
