Objective: To determine the effect of diagnostic ureteroscopy on intravesical recurrence in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 664 patients who were treated with RNU for UTUC from June 2000 to December 2011, excluding those who had concomitant/prior bladder tumors. Of the 664 patients, 8...

BACKGROUND Quorum Sensing (QS) is a mechanism used by bacteria to determine their physiological activities and coordinate gene expression based on cell to cell signaling. Many bacterial physiological functions are under the regulation of quorum sensing such as virulence, luminescence, motility, sporulation and biofilm formation. The aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize Quoru...

Nous analysons les modéles d’Ising/Curie–Weiss sur le graphe Erdős–Rényi avec N sommets et probabilité d’arête p=p(N) introduits par Bovier Gayrard (J. Stat. Phys. 72 (3–4) (1993) 643–664) étudié dans 177 (1) (2019) 78–94) (Kabluchko, Löwe and Schubert (2019)). montrons des théorèmes limite central pour la fonction de partition du modèle – à autres régimes p(N) logarithmique. trouvons critiques...
