Recurrence of primary hyperoxaluria: an avoidable catastrophe following kidney transplant.
Primary hyperoxaluria is a rare autosomal recessive disease due to deficiency of an oxalate-metabolizing liver enzyme, which results in nephrolithiasis and renal failure. Concomitant liver and kidney transplant is recommended as isolated kidney transplant is inevitably complicated by recurrence of the disease. We present a 25-year-old man with end-stage nephrolithiatic renal disease who underwe...
متن کاملWholly Hypothetical Syllogisms
In antiquity we encounter a distinction of two types of hypothetical syllogisms. One type are the 'mixed hypothetical syllogisms'. The other type is the one to which the present paper is devoted. These arguments went by the name of 'wholly hypothetical syllogisms'. They were thought to make up a self-contained system of valid arguments. Their paradigm case consists of two conditionals as premis...
متن کاملA wholly empirical explanation of perceived motion.
Because the retinal activity generated by a moving object cannot specify which of an infinite number of possible physical displacements underlies the stimulus, its real-world cause is necessarily uncertain. How, then, do observers respond successfully to sequences of images whose provenance is ambiguous? Here we explore the hypothesis that the visual system solves this problem by a probabilisti...
متن کاملPreferred analysis methods for Affymetrix GeneChips revealed by a wholly
Background: As more methods are developed to analyze RNA-profiling data, assessing their performance using control datasets becomes increasingly important. Results: We present a 'spike-in' experiment for Affymetrix GeneChips that provides a defined dataset of 3,860 RNA species, which we use to evaluate analysis options for identifying differentially expressed genes. The experimental design inco...
متن کاملPricing Catastrophe Reinsurance with Reinstatement Provisions Using a Catastrophe Model
In recent years catastrophe reinsurers' use of catastrophe models has been increasing until currently virtually all of the catastrophe reinsurers in the world use a catastrophe model to aid them in their pricing and portfolio management decisions. This paper explicitly models various types of reinstatement provisions, including reinstatements that are limited by the number of occurrences and by...
