This paper aims to emphasize the importance of applying international consensus guidelines detect qualitative and quantitative abnormalities megakaryocytes on smears bone marrow aspirates (BMA) for a shared harmonized diagnostic path between different laboratories. Careful evaluation BMA represents cornerstone in diagnosis most clonal nonclonal hematological diseases. Images associated with det...

Blood meal analysis (BMA) is a useful tool for epidemiologists and vector ecologists to assess which vector species are critical to disease transmission. In most current BMA assays vertebrate primers amplify DNA from a blood meal, commonly an abundant mitochondrial (mtDNA) locus, which is then sequenced and compared to known sequences in GenBank to identify its source. This technique, however, ...

Motion estimation and compensation is an essential part of existing video coding systems. The mesh-based motion estimation (MME) produces smoother motion field, better subjective quality (free from blocking artifacts), and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in many cases, especially at low bitrate video communications, compared to the conventional block matching algorithm (BMA). Howev...

A probabilistic precipitation forecasting model using generalized additive models (GAMs) and Bayesian model averaging (BMA) was proposed in this paper. GAMs were used to fit the spatial-temporal precipitation models to individual ensemble member forecasts. The distributions of the precipitation occurrence and the cumulative precipitation amount were represented simultaneously by a single Tweedi...

BACKGROUND Locus heterogeneity, wherein a disease can be caused in different individuals by different genes and/or environmental factors, is a ubiquitous feature of complex traits. A Bayesian approach has been proposed to account for variable rates of heterogeneity across families in a parametric linkage analysis setup [Biswas and Lin: J Am Stat Assoc 2006;101:1341-1351]. As with any parametric...

BACKGROUND Many treatment options exist for unicameral bone cysts (UBC), without clear evidence of superiority. Meta-analyses have been limited by small numbers of patients in specific anatomic and treatment subgroups. The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of injecting bone marrow aspirate and demineralized bone matrix (BMA/DBM) for the treatment of proximal humerus UBC. METHOD...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the influence of bone marrow cell collection techniques and donor site locations on the in-vitro growth of bone-forming cells. METHODS Sixty six samples of bone marrow cell collections (BMCC) or bone marrow aspirates (BMA) from 15 patients were obtained. Thirty eight samples for culture were composed of 23 BMA from 7 tibial condyles and 16 ilia, with the other 15 ...

CONTEXT In our recent studies, Brugia malayi molecules have shown interesting immune-stimulating and immune-suppressive properties. Among these, F6 a pro-inflammatory (54-68 kDa) SDS-PAGE resolved fraction of the parasite when administered with Freund's complete/incomplete adjuvant in animals, elicited both Th1 and Th2 type immune responses and protects the host from filarial parasite. OBJECT...

The purpose of this study is to present a new scientometric model for measuring individual scientific performance in Scopus article publications the field Business, Management, and Accounting (BMA). With help model, also compares publication top 50 researchers according SciVal BMA, each Central European V4 countries (Czech Republic; Hungary; Poland; Slovakia). To analyze excellence total 200 st...
