INTRODUCTION Demographic analysis shows the ageing of the global population and the consequent increase in the age of hospitalized subjects and of patients starting dialysis. Hence, interest in the feasibility, safety, and usefulness of renal biopsy in elderly patients is growing. We examined the data of 131 patients over the age of 75 who underwent renal biopsy. We analyzed the safety of the p...

Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition arising in response to chronic reflux esophagitis. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (¡NOS;NOS-2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are mediators of inflammation and regu lators of epithelial cell growth. Expression levels of ¡NOSand COX-2 are high in colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, and COX-2 expression is elevated in gastric cancers. To determine ...

Let X be a nonempty finite set, ∆(X) = { p : X → [0, 1] | Px∈X p(x) = 1}, and let % denote a binary relation on ∆(X). As usual, Â and ∼ denote the asymmetric and symmetric parts of % . In our nomenclature elements of X are outcomes (or consequences or prizes), elements of ∆(X) are lotteries, and % is the preference relation. Axioms: A1 the relation % is complete and transitive. A2 (continuity) ...

Freshly isolated Morris Hepatoma 7777 cells were prepared for a study of the utilization of palmitate and 0-hydroxybulyrale as metabolic fuels compared to other major energy substrates (glucose and glutamine). These cells were capable of oxidizing both |i/-'4C]palmilale and 0[3-'4C]hydroxybutyrate although the rates accounted for only 10 ±3 (SD) and 9 ±4% of total oxygen consumed, respectivel...

Administration of phénobarbital (7.5 mg/100 gm) to rats for 2 days increased the mean concentration of hepatic cytochrome P-450 from 2.1 ±0.5 units to 5.1 ±0.8 units, and increased the mean hepatic weight from 4.4 ±0.3 percent of body weight to 5.0 ± 0.4 percent. Phénobarbital induction of cytochrome P-450 and phénobarbitalstimulation of hepatic enlargement were blocked by injection of n...

Hilbert Space of a Single Fermionic Mode A single bosonic mode is equivalent to a harmonic oscillator; the relation [â, â†] = 1 gives rise to an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space spanning states |n〉 for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . ,∞. A single fermionic mode is different — its Hilbert space spans just two states, |0〉 and |1〉. In accordance with the Fermi statistics, multiple quanta in the same mode ...
