Lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphism and lipid profile in coronary artery disease
(COLL AMER PATHOLOGISTS, 2004)
Context.-Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a central role in lipid metabolism hydrolyzing triglyceride in chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins. The PvuII polymorphic variant of LPL gene is common and might affect ...
Effect of the treatment of brucellosis on leukocyte superoxide dismutase activity and plasma nitric oxide level
(Sage Publications Inc, 2005)
Background: The mechanisms by which brucellae evade intracellular killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes are incompletely understood. In this study we evaluated changes of leukocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and ...
Combined radiofrequency ablation and myxoma resection through a port access approach
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2004)
Myxornas are common cardiac tumors that are traditionally managed by complete excision through a median sternotorny approach with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. We discuss a patient with left atrial myxoma and chronic ...
Signature verification using conic section function neural network
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2005)
This paper presents a new approach for off-line signature verification based on a hybrid neural network (Conic Section Function Neural Network-CSFNN). Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have recently become a very important ...
Support vector regression for surveillance purposes
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2006)
This paper addresses the problem of applying powerful statistical pattern classification algorithm based on kernel functions to target tracking on surveillance systems. Rather than directly adapting a recognizer we develop ...
Modulation of high-density lipoproteins in a population in Istanbul Turkey with low levels of high-density lipoproteins
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC, 2005)
The extent to which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels can be increased in patients with low HDL cholesterol is important because low HDL cholesterol levels increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). ...
Coulomb corrections in the lepton-pair production in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
(Amer Physical Soc., 2005)
We solve the perturbative electron-positron pair production exactly by calculating the second-order Feynman diagrams. We compare our result with Born methods that include Coulomb corrections. We find that a small-momentum ...
Comparison of three different combination therapies in the treatment of human brucellosis
(ROYAL SOC MEDICINE PRESS LTD, 2005)
The efficacy and tolerability of three different combination treatment regimens in human brucellosis were compared in 118 uncomplicated patients enrolled in a prospective study between May 1997 and December 2002. Brucellosis ...
Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) with the drainage of the uncinate process into the minor papilla: demonstration by MRI
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2005)
We report a case of a 30-year-old patient with anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) that has not been described before. The patient had a clinical history of recurrent attacks of pancreatitis cholangitis and ...
