BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Rosiglitazone (RSG) infusion therapy following minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) evacuation on perihematomal secondary brain damage as assessed by MMP-9 levels, blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and neurological function. METHODS A total of 40 male rabbits (2.8-3.4 kg) was randomly a...

BACKGROUND Minor ischemic stroke (MIS) represents a major global public health problem worldwide due to high incidence. The aim of this study was to investigate whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a strong risk for MIS and subsequent vascular events (SVE). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed examining symptomatic MIS in a Chinese neurologic outpatient population aged over 25 y...

BACKGROUND: Interest in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) of the spine has driven the development of new and innovative techniques to treat an ever wider range of spinal disorders. Despite these new advances, spine surgeons have been slow in adopting MIS into their clinical practice. This study aims to provide a better understanding of the factors that have led to limited incorporation of these ...

This paper analyses the network structure mode of bidding management information system (MIS) —B/S model and its working principle, expounds security problems existed under the mode, and then brings out a new security architecture according to the existing loopholes of data layer, application layer and presentation layer as a result of a sharp increase in system

Given a finite set V , and integers k ≥ 1 and r ≥ 0, denote by A(k, r) the class of hypergraphs A ⊆ 2 with (k, r)-bounded intersections, i.e. in which the intersection of any k distinct hyperedges has size at most r. We consider the problem MIS(A, I): given a hypergraph A and a subfamily I ⊆ I(A), of its maximal independent sets (MIS) I(A), either extend this subfamily by constructing a new MIS...

-Concentrations of the hypoxic cell radiosensitizer misonidazole (MIS) and its 0 -demethylated metabolite Ro 05 -9963 were determined in plasma (or blood), brain and tumour after injection of I g/kg MIS i.p. to control mice or mice pretreated with 4-6 daily injections of phenobarbitone or phenytoin. Analysis was by highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Phenobarbitone and phenytoin did n...

The MIS discipline faces the need to periodically re-establish its relevance to both academics and practitioners. Evolving technology forces our discipline to change at a rate far exceeding that of other business disciplines. In the workplace, rapidly evolving IT management issues and technologies have led corporations to manage technical employees differently than other employees. In academia,...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the beginning of 1999, the CIO of a Portuguese company in the automobile industry was debating with himself whether to abandon or to continue supporting the MIS his company had been using for years. This MIS had been supporting the company’s production processes and the procurement of resources for these processes. However, in spite of the fact that the MIS system had been ...

müllerian inhibiting substance (miS), also known as anti-müllerian hormone (amh), is a glycoprotein belonging to the transforming growth factor ß superfamily. In Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), a teleost fish that has XX(female)/XY(male) sex determination system, mis mRNA is expressed in the somatic cells of the gonads during gonadal sex differentiation. However, the mechanism of tr...
