BACKGROUND No data were available on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of bacillary angiomatosis (BA) in Germany. OBJECTIVE To determine epidemiological and clinical data on HIV-associated BA. METHODS A chart review of all BA cases between 1990 and 1998 was performed in 23 German AIDS treatment units. RESULTS A total of 21 cases of BA was diagnosed. During this period, the ...

BACKGROUND While stent restenosis and late thrombosis still occur even with drug-eluting-stents (DES), there remains a need to explore other strategies for preventing restenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Five hundred and twenty-one patients were randomized: 260 to cutting-balloon angioplasty (CBA) before bare-metal stent (CBA-BMS) and 261 to balloon-angioplasty (BA) before BMS (BA-BMS). Intravascu...

BACKGROUND Bohler's angle (BA) is the most commonly utilized radiographic measurement in the study of calcaneus fractures and has been shown to be prognostic in nature. Therefore, it is critical that the measurement of BA be accurate as both therapeutic and prognostic information relies on it. Oblique lateral radiographs can be a cause of error in BA measurements. However, measurement error and...

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a Ba-doped tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum(III) (Alq3) layer were fabricated to reduce the barrier height for electron injection and to improve the electron conductivity. In the OLED consisting of glass/ITO/4,4',4"-tris[2-naphthylphenyl-1-phenylamino]triphenylamine (2-TNATA, 30 nm)/4,4'-bis[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl (NPB, 18 nm)/Alq3 (42 nm)...

This study was carried out on Italia grape variety (Vitis vinifera L.) in Konya province, Turkey in 2016. The cultivar is five years old and grown on 1103 Paulsen rootstock. It was determined the effects of applications of the Control (C), 1/3 Cluster Tip Reduction (1/3 CTR), 1/6 Cluster Tip Reduction (1/6 CTR), 1/9 Cluster Tip Reduction (1/9 CTR), 1/3 CTR+Boric Acid (BA), 1/6 CTR+BA, 1/9 CTR+B...

ackground: The purpose of this study was to assess interregional brain activity covariations during traumatic script-driven imagery n subjects with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). ethods: Functional magnetic resonance imaging and functional connectivity analyses were used to assess interregional brain ctivity covariations during script-driven imagery in PTSD subjects with a dissociative r...

BACKGROUND Baker's asthma (BA) is the most prevalent occupational respiratory disease in developed countries. It is caused by inhalation of wheat dust in the working environment and affects 1%-10% of workers in the baking industry. Diagnosis of BA is based on bronchial challenge with wheat, a technique that carries a high risk for patients. The wheat lipid transfer protein Tri a 14 is a major a...

The enterohepatic circulation of bile acids (BAs) critically depends on absorption of BA in the terminal ileum and colon, which can be affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Diarrhea in IBD is believed to result in part from BA malabsorption (BAM). We explored whether IBD alters mRNA expression of key intestinal BA transporters, BA detoxifying systems, and nuclear receptors that regulate...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to explore the neural correlates of semantic judgments to visual words in a group of 9- to 15-year-old children. Subjects were asked to indicate if word pairs were related in meaning. Consistent with previous findings in adults, children showed activation in bilateral inferior frontal gyri (Brodmann area [BA] 47, 45) and left middle temporal...

Basilar dendritic systems of lamina V pyramidal neurons were quantified to compare cellular differences across four regions of the neonatal cortex. Tissue was removed from the left hemisphere of four neurologically normal infants, and represented regions of Benson’s (1994) hierarchically arranged cortical processing model (low-integrative regions: primary areas, Brodmann’s area (BA) BA 4 and BA...
