four cases of polyarthritis concomitant with active tuberculosis is reported. in three patients pulmonary tuberculosis was confirmed by identification of mycobacterium tuberculosis in the sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens, and in another one tuberculous lymphadenitis was confirmed by excisional biopsy. in all patients arthritis resolved by tuberculosis treatment and did not recur duri...

introduction the materials used in sealing furcating perforation can have considerable effects on controlling the ensuing inflammation and periodontal repair. the objective of the present study was to carry out a histological comparison between the effects of pro-root, cold ceramic, glass-ionomer cement, and root mta on the healing of periodontal tissues after furcal perforation in dog's teeth....

background and objective: streptococcosis/lactococcosis is the cause of high morbidity and mortality in aquaculture sector and to date a number of species of streptococcus and lactococcus genera including s. iniae, s. agalactiae, s. dysagalactiae, s. parauberis, s. feacalis, l. garvieae and l. lactis have been discriminated as the cause of disease in aquatic animals. despite the use of diagnost...

In a critical review (Thomas and Baker, 2012), we argued for caution in evaluating reports of training-dependent adult structural plasticity measured with MRI. Here, we respond to the commentaries on our review, clarifying our position and addressing some of the specific criticisms raised.

During the liulf year ending January 31, 1911, there have been two groups of boys in a special class in Girard College, one group known as the "Retarded Class," the other as the "Delinquent Class." There were twenty-four boys in the Retarded Class and twenty-eight in the Delinquent Class. Retarded boys are those who have remained unduly long in a grade without promotion, the repeating having be...

The aim of this paper is to prove that the Dedekind zeta function for a number field has a meromorphic continuation to the complex plane, obtaining the analytic class number formula with it, and to present some of the applications of these results. In particular, It will be shown its use in proving Dirichlet’s prime number theorem and in calculating the class number of quadratic fields. The pro...

Whaley’s Theorem on the existence of large proper sublattices of infinite lattices is extended to ordered sets and finite lattices. As a corollary it is shown that every finite lattice L with |L| ≥ 3 contains a proper sublattice S with |S| ≥ |L| 3 . It is also shown that that every finite modular lattice L with |L| ≥ 3 contains a proper sublattice S with |S| ≥ |L| 2 , and every finite distribut...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between accumulated health-related problems (deficits), which define a frailty index in older adults, and mortality in population-based and clinical/institutional-based samples. DESIGN Cross-sectional and cohort studies. SETTING Seven population-based and four clinical/institutional surveys in four developed countries. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-six tho...
