background: differentiation between the muscularis mucosae (mm) and muscularispropria (mp) of the bladder remains challenging. objective: to identify mm- and mp-specific antigens that could be of potential value for staging of urothelialcarcinomain a pilot study. method: the expression of 12 protein antigens in 11 human bladder specimens was examined. there were 5 post radical cystectomy specim...

introduction and aims: microscopic colitis has been generally recognized as lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis: two inflammatory diseases of large intestine without a definite origin. the colon appears normal by colonoscopy. so, biopsy of the colonic mucosa is mandatory for diagnosis. materials and methods: as a descriptive design we assessed epidemiological, clinical and laboratory fi...

this paper presents a novel technique for removing the artifacts from the Electro-Encephalo-Gram (EEG) signals. EEG signals are influenced by different characteristics, like line interference, EOG (ElectroOculogram) and ECG (Electrocardiogram). The elimination of artifact from scalp EEGs is of substantial significance for both the automated and visual examination of underlying brainwave actions...

in this study the reproductive organs of adult and apparently healthy female azarbaijan buffaloes werecollected after slaughter from abattoir. through observation of the ovaries, the luteal and follicular phases ofeach buffalo were specified. a total number of 36 oviducts at follicular phase and 36 oviducts at luteal phasewere collected and 3 tissue samples were taken from 3 regions of infundib...

conclusions the occurrence of sam in pauci-autoimmune vasculitis is rarely described, particularly in africa. our case is an illustration of the reality of this association. introduction we reported a case of hemophagocytic syndrome complicating microscopic polyangitis presented by crescentic glomerulonephritis. case presentation a 22-year-old female patient originated from dakar, senegal prese...

– In order to clarify how the statistical properties of earthquakes depend on the constitutive law characterizing the stick-slip dynamics, we make an extensive numerical simulation of the one-dimensional spring-block model with a rateand state-dependent friction law. Both the magnitude distribution and the recurrence-time distribution are studied with varying the constitutive parameters charact...

The pathways by which islet B, A, and D cells bind and internalize homologous (self) and heterologous (other) islet hormones were compared. [125I-Tyr]Somatostatin-14 (S-14), 125I-insulin, and 125I-glucagon were incubated with monolayer cultures of neonatal rat islet cells. Tissues were processed for quantitative electron microscopic autoradiography by the probability circle method coupled to mo...

The infrared behaviour of the φ 3-theory is discussed stressing analogies with the Witten-Seiberg story about N = 2 QCD. Though the microscopic theory is apparently not integrable, the effective theory is shown to be integrable at classical level, and a general solution of it in terms of hypergeometric functions is obtained. An effective theory for the multiparticle soft scattering is sketched.
