INTRODUCTION Demographic analysis shows the ageing of the global population and the consequent increase in the age of hospitalized subjects and of patients starting dialysis. Hence, interest in the feasibility, safety, and usefulness of renal biopsy in elderly patients is growing. We examined the data of 131 patients over the age of 75 who underwent renal biopsy. We analyzed the safety of the p...

In this paper, we investigate compactly supported symmetric orthonormal dyadic complex wavelets such that the symmetric orthonormal refinable functions have high linear-phase moments and the antisymmetric wavelets have high vanishing moments. Such wavelets naturally lead to real-valued symmetric tight wavelet frames with some desirable moment properties, and are related to coiflets which are re...

Background:The most efficient application of ionizing radiation is serving medical purposes and using this radiation has caused people to learn that artificial sources of radiation exposure among these resources can be of highest exposure rate.  Objective: The present study is aimed at initially establishing a baseline for local-reference dose level in Mazandaran, Iran in 12 projections of the...

Freshly isolated Morris Hepatoma 7777 cells were prepared for a study of the utilization of palmitate and 0-hydroxybulyrale as metabolic fuels compared to other major energy substrates (glucose and glutamine). These cells were capable of oxidizing both |i/-'4C]palmilale and 0[3-'4C]hydroxybutyrate although the rates accounted for only 10 ±3 (SD) and 9 ±4% of total oxygen consumed, respectivel...

My associates Drs. Frank Schabel and William Wilcox and I recently finished writing a monograph on the criteria and kinetics associated with “curability― of experimental leukemia (7). That lengthy manuscript, which is now “in press,―covered in detail' some 8 years of study on the very subject I have been asked to discuss today. We are happy to report that the work we have done since all...

We give a characterization of the non-empty binary relations  on a N∗-set A such that there exist two morphisms of N∗-sets u1, u2 : A → R+ verifying u1 ≤ u2 and x  y ⇔ u1(x) > u2(y). They are called homothetic interval orders. If  is a homothetic interval order, we also give a representation of  in terms of one morphism of N∗-sets u : A → R+ and a map σ : u(R+) × A → R+ such that x  y ⇔ σ(...

Administration of phénobarbital (7.5 mg/100 gm) to rats for 2 days increased the mean concentration of hepatic cytochrome P-450 from 2.1 ±0.5 units to 5.1 ±0.8 units, and increased the mean hepatic weight from 4.4 ±0.3 percent of body weight to 5.0 ± 0.4 percent. Phénobarbital induction of cytochrome P-450 and phénobarbitalstimulation of hepatic enlargement were blocked by injection of n...
