Metabolic changes are observed in a variety of tumors. The nature of the changes in aerobic energy metabolism differs between tumor types. Therefore, immunohistochemical staining, enzymatic measurements and immunoblot analysis were used to determine alterations of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in classic triphasic Wilms' Tumor (WT). Our studies revealed that the epithelial, stromal and bla...

The aim of the present work is the analysis and mining of the informative content related to pathological liver tissues, when acquired by triphasic CT, with the proposal of a data-fusion approach, which is able to visualize and show up such a content in the best way as a support to the medical diagnosis. Since the huge amount of CT volumes to be analyzed in a limited time is the major cause of ...

UNLABELLED Five patients with documented histories of essential hypertension of at least ten years' duration participated in a triphasic study of training to control systolic blood pressure (SBP). Phase 1 was a seven week period during which patients took their BP (systolic and diastolic) at home and mailed these data to us daily. Phase 2 was a three week period during which patients were taugh...

Encephalopathy is a rare side effect of third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins. Renal failure and previous disease of the central nervous system predispose to this neurotoxicity. We describe a case of encephalopathy with generalised triphasic waves in a patient with pre-existent cerebrovascular disease who was treated with ceftriaxone for a urinary tract infection. Early recognition of thi...

BACKGROUND Accurate staging of malignant tumors in the liver has major implications in defining prognosis and guiding both surgical and nonsurgical therapy. Intraoperative ultrasound in open surgery compares favorably with computed tomography (CT) in the detection of liver tumors; however, there is little experience with laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS). HYPOTHESIS Laparoscopic ultrasound is mor...

The effect of inducing stimuli on the luminance of a brief test stimulus (2.5'-wide line) required to match the brightness of a comparison stimulus was measured at various stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs). Assuming that the test brightness is determined by the peak response to the test stimulus, the difference in the test brightness in the absence and in the presence of an inducing stimulus a...

Organophosphate poisoning is characterised for the most part, by acute incidents. Management is by way of first aid (in mild poisoning) and use of atropine with or without the oximes, (in moderate to severe poisoning). Of late, it has become apparent that subchronic and chronic organophosphate poisoning are a common manifestation. This review paper summarises this triphasic nature of organophos...

We propose an original scheme for the time discretization of a triphasic CahnHilliard/Navier-Stokes model. This scheme allows an uncoupled resolution of the discrete CahnHilliard and Navier-Stokes system, is unconditionally stable and preserves, at the discrete level, the main properties of the continuous model. The existence of discrete solutions is proved and a convergence study is performed ...
