We have developed an improved algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice to perimeter length 90. Analysis of the resulting series yields very accurate estimates of the connective constant μ = 2.638 158 529 27(1) (biased) and the critical exponent α = 0.500 0005(10) (unbiased). The critical point is indistinguishable from a root of the polyno...

To explore the largely unknown etiology of small intestine cancer, we examined metabolic factors and risk cancer overall by subtypes. Among 404 220 women 403 265 men in six European cohorts, applied Cox regression with adjustment for smoking body mass index (BMI), to calculate sex-specific hazard ratios (HRs) levels BMI, mean arterial pressure (MAP) plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides gluco...

Pressure wave reflection plays a pivotal role in the augmentation of systolic blood pressure. In the present study, the association between reflection of pressure wave and structural and functional alteration, including blood flow, in the common carotid artery was investigated in 70 hospitalized essential hypertensive patients. The reflection of pressure was estimated by the "augmentation index...

BACKGROUND Closure of PDA can be associated with echocardiographic changes including deterioration of LV systolic function. Although PDA is commonly encountered in dogs, few comprehensive reports of echocardiographic changes in dogs with PDA closure are available. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the short-term echocardiographic changes observed after PDA closure in dogs using strain analysis. ANIMAL...
