Hierarchical modeling allows for two appealing characteristics in shrinkage estimation. First, it leads to a more natural way of taking into account the uncertainty in the estimates than simply summarizing the result of each test in a p-value. Second, as the data are treated as exchangeable rather than independent, this allows for feedback as each data point informs the distributions of the res...

Hierarchical modeling allows for two appealing characteristics in a design for false discovery rate control in multiple hypothesis testing. First, it leads to a more natural way of taking into account the uncertainty in the estimates than simply summarizing the result of each test in a p-value. Second, as the data are treated as exchangeable rather than independent, this allows for feedback as ...

Changes in follicular and luteal structures were assessed and concentrations of estradiol and progesterone were measured in 13 Hereford X Angus suckled beef cows during resumption of estrous cycles. Transrectal ultrasonography was used to monitor follicular size, ovulation, and formation and regression of the corpus luteum (CL). The interval from parturition to first postpartum ovulation (FO) w...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to characterize the findings of MR imaging of the brain of adult male fragile X premutation carriers with a recently identified disorder characterized by ataxia, tremor, rigidity, and cognitive dysfunction. METHODS MR imaging studies of the brain of 17 male patients were characterized for signal intensity and for size of ventricles, cerebral and cerebell...

UNLABELLED The relationship between physical activity and central nervous system mechanisms of pain in fibromyalgia (FM) is unknown. This study determined whether physical activity was predictive of brain responses to experimental pain in FM using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Thirty-four participants (n = 16 FM; n = 18 Control) completed self-report and accelerometer measures o...

The purpose of this study was to identify the histologic characteristics of human myocardium in congestive heart failure (CHF) by cellular hypertrophy, nuclear area, endocardial thickness, and percentage of fibrosis and to correlate histologic findings to cause, severity, and duration of disease. Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsies from 109 patients were quantitatively analyzed. Ten patie...

A thrombocytopoiesis-stimulating factor (TSF or thrombopoietin) derived from human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells is known to increase platelet production and to increase the number of morphologically unrecognizable early megakaryocytes, ie, small acetylcholinesterase-positive (SAChE+) cells in mice. Other recent studies have concluded that interleukin-6 (IL-6) also stimulates murine megakaryocyt...

Results 12 patients with idiopathic uveitis were enrolled in this study. 10 of them were female and 2 were male. The youngest patient was a 7-year-old child and the oldest was 57. The most common complaints of patients was blurred vision and then eye redness. One patient was heterozygous for Wt/R761H in the MEFV genetic analyses. Genetic analysis of 12 most common MEFV mutations in the patients...
