BACKGROUND Rhinoviruses belong to the picornavirus family and are small, icosahedral, non-enveloped viruses containing one positive RNA strand. Human rhinovirus 16 (HRV16) belongs to the major receptor group of rhinoviruses, for which the cellular receptor is intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). In many rhinoviruses, one of the viral coat proteins (VP1) contains a hydrophobic pocket whic...

In breast augmentation, surgeons usually choose a pocket location for the implant behind breast parenchyma (retromammary), partially behind the pectoralis major muscle (partial retropectoral), or totally behind pectoralis major and serratus (total submuscular). Each of these implant pocket locations has specific indications, but each also has a unique set of tradeoffs. When applied to a wide ra...

BACKGROUND Given the increasing number of patients who require dual antiplatelet (DAP) therapy and electrophysiological device (EPD) placement, perioperative antiplatelet management is a current challenge. In this study, we investigated the incidence of pocket hematoma formation after EPD placement in patients undergoing DAP therapy or an alternative low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) regimen....

Most learning algorithms for single neuron are not able to provide for any classification problem the weight vector which satisfies the maximum number of input-output relations contained in the training set. An important exception is given by the pocket algorithm: it repeatedly executes the perceptron algorithm and maintains (in the pocket) the weight vector which is remained unchanged for the ...

Meat and milk from farmed animals including livestock (cattle, goat and buffalo) and poultry are sources of high quality protein and essential amino acids, minerals, fats and fatty acids, readily available vitamins, small quantities of carbohydrates and other bioactive components. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 2008 estimate shows that meat consumption has grown with increase in po...

This is a useful and compact little work, giving in small compass a complete description of the use and action of all drugs and preparations of the pharmacopoeias of Great Britain and America and of some foreign countries. Many " pharmacological disappointments" have wisely been omitted, and so whole subject-matter is arranged alphabetically. The dosage is given in the English as well as in the...
