Due to the increasing number of applications that are bandwidth hungry, evaluation high-speed data connectors is vital ensure they have met necessary bitrate performance. Mohamed Kheir will share a practical approach estimate bandwidth-dependent channel capacity for multi-channel in first paper, “Relative Bitrate Estimation Multi-Channel Connectors Based on RF and EMC Parameters”. The well-know...

PRACTITIONERS, MANUFACTURERS, AND REGULATORY AGENCIES have long regarded central venous catheters (CVCs) as relatively dangerous, problem-prone devices. Recent attention has been focused primarily on reduction of infectious complications of CVCs. Application of strict aseptic precautions (the so-called ‘‘central-line bundle’’) when placing CVCs effectively has reduced the incidence of catheter-...

Page 721 IgG4-related disease (RD) is a newly recognized systemic disease characterized by high serum IgG4 levels that affects multiple organs including salivary glands and the nasal and paranasal sinuses. Accordingly, many IgG4-RD patients complain about olfactory dysfunction. Yagi-Nakanishi et al have now investigated olfactory function in these patients. More than 50% of the patients suffere...

The use of a reduced verbal system as ELF English as a lingua franca in the sciences does not appear to be a perfectly adequate way of expressing cultural identities. A modern society should instead enforce, through instruction, the understanding of several national cultural scripts, one’s own and others, and the understanding of the way communication and languages works. Multilingualism and in...

Page 415 The pig olfactory system is understudied despite the fact that these animals represent a good model of human physiology and possess an exquisitely sensitive sense of smell. Brunjes et al now provide an overview of the pig olfactory system including Nissl, myelin and Golgi stains. Moreover, they used confocal microscopy to examine projection neurons and GABAergic local circuit neurons t...

The initial observations of Mitsuda (1) on the use of his "leprous tubercle emulsion" were of purely immunological character, and they revealed the difference in behavior between cases of the lepromatous ("tuberous") and the benign "maculoneural" types. The evolution of such cases observed by Hayashi (2) after testing demonstrated the prognostic value of the reaction, since only those which wer...
