Abstract Introduction Accurate assessment of hypersomnia depends upon consideration several factors, including use medications that affect alertness and sleep organization. Urine drug screens (UDS) are recommended when assessing hypersomnia, but there is little standardization with respect to screening methods, types substances detected, in maintenance wakefulness test (MWT) interpretation, par...

BACKGROUND Urodynamics (UDS) has been considered the gold standard test for detrusor overactivity (DO) in women with an overactive bladder (OAB). Bladder ultrasonography to measure bladder wall thickness (BWT) is less invasive and has been proposed as an alternative test. OBJECTIVES To estimate the reliability, reproducibility, accuracy and acceptability of BWT in women with OAB, measured by ...

A review is given of latest results on tests of the avour independence of strong interactions. Heavy quark mass e ects are evident in the data and are now taken into account at next-to-leading order in QCD perturbation theory. The strong-coupling ratios b s / uds s and c s / uds s are found to be consistent with unity. Determinations of the b-quark mass mb(MZ) are discussed. Presented at the XX...

5,9-Dimethyldibenzo[c,g]carbazole (DMDBC), a potent mouse hepatocarcinogen, has been shown to induce a non-linear increase in mutant frequency in the liver of the transgenic MutaMouse. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the mutagenicity of DMDBC in vivo, DNA damage formation and removal were monitored in mouse hepatocytes over 4-144 h after a single skin application of 10 or 90 mg/k...

Despite an increasing incidence of human breast cancer, its etiology remains unknown. Since some environmental chemicals are stored in human breast fat and are rodent mammary carcinogens, determining the genotoxic potential of environmental agents in this key target tissue is important. An assay was developed for detecting genotoxic activity, as unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), induced by chemi...

This paper describes our submission for the CoNLL 2013 Shared Task, which aims to to improve the detection and correction of the five most common grammatical error types in English text written by non-native speakers. Our system concentrates only on two of them; it employs machine learning classifiers for the ArtOrDet-, and a fully deterministic rule based workflow for the SVA error type.

Neurogenic bladder (NGB) secondary to spinal cord injury (SCI) is accompanied with several complications such as urinary tract deterioration, urinary incontinence, and consequently lower quality of life (QoL), significant morbidities, and occasionally death. Current therapeutic methods have some side effects and there is no treatment for the upper urinary tract injuries. Stem cell therapy is a ...
