Gallbladder sludge and acute pancreatitis induced by acute hepatitis A
(KARGER, 2006)
In this case report a young woman with gallbladder sludge and acute pancreatitis due to acute hepatitis A (HAV) is presented. She was admitted to our hospital with abnormal hepatic enzymes. Five days prior to her admission ...
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 ...
Blind-phase noise estimation in OFDM systems by sequential Monte Carlo method
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2006)
One of the main drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is the phase noise (PN) caused by the oscillator instabilities. Unfortunately due to the PN the most valuable feature namely orthogonality ...
Atomic force microscopy and spectroscopy studies of annealed Ce/Ti/Zr mixed oxide thin films prepared by sol-gel process
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2006)
Mixed Ce/Ti/Zr oxide thin films with a molar ratio of 0.5:0.25:0.25 were prepared using the sol-gel process and deposited on glass substrates by the dip coating technique. The effect of heat treatment temperature on surface ...
A low-complexity time-domain MMSE channel estimator for space-time/frequency block-coded OFDM systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006)
Focusing on transmit diversity orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission through frequency-selective channels this paper pursues a channel estimation approach in time domain for both space-frequency ...
Recurrent tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta - A case report
(WESTMINSTER PUBL INC, 2006)
Tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is a rare disease that is uniformly fatal if not treated properly. The authors present a case of a recurrent tuberculous false aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta that was ...
Apolipoprotein B gene variants are involved in the determination of blood glucose and lipid levels in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
(Wiley, 2006)
We have examined the frequency of the EcoRI XbaI and MspI RFLPs of the apolipoprotein B (apo 13) gene in I 10 type 2 diabetic patients and 9 1 healthy control subjects in order to ascertain whether variation in this gene ...
Influence of combined antioxidants against cadmium induced testicular damage
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2006)
Acute effects ofcadmium (Cd) and combined antioxidants were evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rat testes. The rats were subdivided into four groups. Cadmium chloride (2 mg/kg day) injected intraperitoneally during 8 days. Vitamin ...
General anesthesia with thoracic epidural anesthesia in the cardiopulmonary bypass surgery reduces apoptosis by upregulating antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2006)
Aim. The aim of the paper was to investigate whether thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) together with general anaesthesia (GA) play a role on apoptosis in humans before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) before aortic cross clamp ...
A computational study on the amine-oxidation mechanism of monoamine oxidase: Insight into the polar nucleophilic mechanism
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2006)
The proposed polar nucleophilic mechanism of MAO was investigated using quantum chemical calculations employing the semi-empirical PM3 method. In order to mimic the reaction at the enzyme's active site the reactions between ...
