BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection diagnosis in children, and efficient diagnosis and treatment are important to avoid serious complications. In this study we investigated whether urinary levels of neutrophil-derived heparin-binding protein (HBP) can be used as a marker of UTI in children. These results were compared to those of dipstick analysis, interleukin-6 (IL-6)
This study compared the 12-month evolution of the aortic volume in patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with stent grafts alone or a composite device (Zenith TX2 stent graft and Zenith Dissection stent; Cook Medical, Bloomington, Ind) for acute (≤2 weeks from onset) complicated type B aortic dissection.
This volume brings together current linguistic research in a range of pre¬dominantly multilingual contexts. The authors draw on data from different languages and speech communities around the world, and together the chapters offer a broad picture of language acquisition, development and use – among both children and adults. While this is a valuable undertaking in its own right, the main reason for
This review article summarizes the most recent clinical trials for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly in developed countries. A literature search through websites https://www.pubmed.org and https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/, both accessed no later than November 04, 2015, was performed. We identified three Phase III clinical trials that wer
OBJECTIVES: To compare two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound techniques, including volumetry of fetal thigh, for fetal weight (FW) estimation in prolonged pregnancy, and to develop a new FW estimation formula. METHODS: This prospective comparative study initially included 176 pregnant women. FW estimation was performed at >/= 287 days of gestation within
Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) is a frequently used intervention for lumbar radicular pain.
Adult type 2 diabetes patients with GAD65 autoantibodies (GADA) are known as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). It has been suggested that GADA in LADA patients preferentially bind to the N-terminal end of GAD65. Using the N-terminal end extension of (35)S-GAD65 generated by the pEx9 plasmid, we tested the hypothesis that GADA in LADA patients preferentially react with (35)S-GAD65 from t
Objective: Our aim was to compare the ability of radiologists to detect breast cancers using one-view breast tomosynthesis (BT) and two-view digital mammography (DM) in an enriched population of abnormal (diseased) patients and benign and/or normal (healthy) patients. Methods: All participants gave informed consent. The BT and DM examinations were performed with about the same average glandular

Two-tone frequency modulation spectroscopy (TTFMS) is applied to the determination of water activity using an 820-nm GaAlAs diode laser. By measuring the relative light absorption of water vapor over a solution and over a pure water reference, the water activity in the solution is determined. Fast, nonintrusive, and selective measurements are demonstrated. The detection limit for measuring a relat

We have developed a new way of accessing biological databases and bioinformatics applications on the Internet. This new service, bioinformatics wireless application protocol (BioWAP) service, which is accessible by mobile devices makes it possible to access bioinformatics services, where normal PC or personal digital assistant (PDA) connections are not feasible. The BioWAP service includes major b
