Mixed Parents, Mixed Results

Cardiac cell therapy--mixed results from mixed cells.

Despite substantial advances in treatment, ischemic cardiac injury and the ventricular dysfunction it can provoke remain major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The endogenous regenerative capacity of the heart appears inadequate to repair injured myocardium, leading to the cumulative loss of cardiomyocytes over the lifetime of a patient. This may contribute to the prevale...

Financial Results on Mixed Dairy Farms

In May, 1939, a report on the financial results secured on 98 " mixed " dairy farms on the North Cork-Limerick border, m the accounting year ended 30th April, 1938, was presented to the Society. (Journal S S I 1938-39) For 93 of these farms, comparable data were again collected m 1939, covering the accounting-year ended 30th April, 1939, and portion of these data appeared m the Society's Journa...

Mixed-quantum-state detection with inconclusive results

We consider the problem of designing an optimal quantum detector with a fixed rate of inconclusive results that maximizes the probability of correct detection, when distinguishing between a collection of mixed quantum states. We show that the design of the optimal detector can be formulated as a semidefinite programming problem, and derive a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for an opt...

For Biologics in Vasculitis, Decidedly Mixed Results

Most of the current evidence for biologics to treat systematic vasculitis (SV) doesn’t come from randomized clinical trials, but from uncontrolled, observational studies – which show mixed results in producing and sustaining remission, according to a new literature review. In the 90 studies analyzed, rituximab (Rituxan) was the biological most often used in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), fol...
