We consider a family of high accuracy, approximate deconvolution models of turbulence. For body force driven turbulence, we prove directly from the models equations of motion the following bounds on the model’s time averaged energy dissipation rate, < "ADM >, and helicity dissipation rate, < ADM (w) >; < "ADM > 2 U3 L +Re 1 U3 L (1 + ( L )) , and j < ADM (w) > j U3 L2 + p 2Re 1 2 (1 + 2 L2 ) 1 ...

Amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) is a clinical subtype of dermatomyositis, characterized by the lack of motor weakness and the presence of normal muscle enzyme levels. ADM is sometimes accompanied by interstitial pneumonia that shows a rapid progressive course associated with a poor prognosis. We report a 49-year-old patient who presented with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) associate...

INTRODUCTION Adrenomedullin (ADM), a circulating vasodilatory peptide, plays an important role in the development of sepsis-associated hemodynamic and microcirculatory disorders. While administration of exogenous ADM had beneficial effects in several septic animal models, elevated ADM concentrations are associated with a bad outcome. This prompted us to test the effect of various anti-ADM antib...

Plasma concentrations of the recently discovered hormones adrenomedullin (ADM), from vascular tissue, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), secreted by myocardium, are elevated in patients with heart failure. We tested the hypotheses that short-term increments in circulating levels of these hormones, within the pathophysiological range, would have biological effects and that the 2 hormone system...

Resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is the main reason for treatment failure in patients with cancer. The primary mechanism of multidrug resistance (MDR) is the overexpression of drug efflux transporters, including ATP‑binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2). To the best of our knowledge, the MDR mechanisms of esophageal cancer have not been described. An adriamycin (ADM)-resistant subline, Ec...

Use of human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) during prosthetic breast reconstruction has increased. Several ADM products are available produced by differing manufacturing techniques. It is not known if outcomes vary with different products. This study reports the complication prevalence following use of a tutoplast-derived ADM (T-ADM) in prosthetic breast reconstruction. We performed a retrospect...

Neutral and negatively charged liposomes containing Adria mycin (ADM) were examined for the efficiency of drug entrap ment, serum stability, in vivo tissue distribution, and tumorinhibitory activity. Entrapment of ADM in negatively charged liposomes containing phosphatidylserine (PS) or cardiolipin (DPG) was 3to 4-fold higher than in neutral phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes with or without ch...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of death among patients admitted for severe sepsis or septic shock is high. Adrenomedullin (ADM) plays a central role in initiating the hyperdynamic response during the early stages of sepsis. Pilot studies indicate an association of plasma ADM with the severity of the disease. In the present study we utilized a novel sandwich immunoassay of bioactive plasma ADM in pa...

In this work, arithmetic distribution matching (ADM) is presented. ADM invertibly transforms a discrete memoryless source (DMS) into a target DMS. ADM can be used for probabilistic shaping and for rate adaption. Opposed to existing algorithms for distribution matching, ADM works online and can transform arbitrarily long input sequences. It is shown analytically that as the input length tends to...
