Is ACEI superior to ARB for CKD?

The activation of the renin angiotensin aldosteron (RAA) system plays a major role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inhibition of the RAA system ameliorates renal injury and improves the prognosis of CKD patients (1-3). On the basis of solid evidence from numerous animal model experiments and clinical trials of RAA inhibitors, beyond their action of lowering blood pressure, t...

Is Japan ’ S Trade ( Still ) Different ?

Does Japanese trade in manufactured goods differ from the rest-of-the world average and from the U.S.? We use a simple industry-level gravity model and 1981-1998 data to answer this question. We construct a measure of normalized imports by dividing bilateral industry-level imports by the importer's aggregate absorption and the exporter's industry output. We find that Japan imports less than oth...

Is Trans Fatty Acid Still an Issue for Policy Makers in Iran? A Technical Report

In recent decades, the oil industry has changed its direction toward vegetable oil use instead of animal fats due to various reasons such as a small numbers of animal fat resources and high saturated fatty acids content in animal fats. Therefore, different modification processes have been used to alter the physicochemical properties of vegetable oils, which lack functionality and oxidative stab...

Is the Optimism in Optimistic Concurrency Warranted?

Optimistic synchronization allows concurrent execution of critical sections while performing dynamic conflict detection and recovery. Optimistic synchronization will increase performance only if critical regions are data independent—concurrent critical sections access disjoint data most of the time. Optimistic synchronization primitives, such as transactional memory, will improve the performanc...
