•Tumor characteristics of 5 cases of ovarian tumor of low malignant potential (LMP) with BRCA mutation were examined.•Young age, BRCA1 mutation, and presence of invasive implants may be characteristics of BRCA carriers with ovarian LMP.

The aim of this study was to assess the validity of the last menstrual period (LMP) estimate in determining pre and post-term birth rates, in a prenatal cohort from two Brazilian cities, São Luís and Ribeirão Preto. Pregnant women with a single fetus and less than 20 weeks' gestation by obstetric ultrasonography who received prenatal care in 2010 and 2011 were included. The LMP was obtained on ...

BACKGROUND Malaria is still a major public health problem, partly because the pathogenesis of its major complication, cerebral malaria (CM), remains incompletely understood. However tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is thought to play a key role in the development of this neurological syndrome, as well as lymphotoxin alpha (LT). METHODS AND FINDINGS Using an in vitro model of CM based on human brai...

Reported last menstrual period (LMP) is commonly used to estimate gestational age (GA) but may be unreliable. Ultrasound in the first trimester is generally considered a highly accurate method of pregnancy dating. The authors compared first trimester report of LMP and first trimester ultrasound for estimating GA at birth and examined whether disagreement between estimates varied by maternal and...

Population-based standards for infant size for gestational age depend on accurate assessments of birth weight and gestational age; the accuracy of the latter measure has been questioned. The authors sought to explore how different methods of assigning gestational age in vital records data affect distributions of birth weight for gestational age. The 2005 US natality file was used to create 4 me...

This letter presents an improved version of diffusion least mean ppower (LMP) algorithm for distributed estimation. Instead of sum of mean square errors, a weighted sum of mean square error is defined as the cost function for global and local cost functions of a network of sensors. The weight coefficients are updated by a simple steepest-descent recursion to minimize the error signal of the glo...

SUMMARY Illumina's recently released Nextera Long Mate Pair (LMP) kit enables production of jumping libraries of up to 12 kb. The LMP libraries are an invaluable resource for carrying out complex assemblies and other downstream bioinformatics analyses such as the characterization of structural variants. However, LMP libraries are intrinsically noisy and to maximize their value, post-sequencing ...

While evidence exists for an association between people management practices (PMP), firm characteristics and lean manufacturing (LMP), there is limited research focusing on different sized firms. What not understood (1) what PMP bundles are chosen by firms which adopt LMP, (2) play a role in explaining these choices. The empirical based archival data sourced from the world dataset comprising of...

This article is available online at http://www.jlr.org Physiological and pathological cell death have been classifi ed according to morphological criteria into at least three categories: type I cell death or apoptosis; type II cell death or autophagic cell death; and type III cell death or necrosis ( 1, 2 ). Lysosomes were known to be involved in autophagy ( 3, 4 ) and, after the massive ruptur...
