INTRODUCTION Recently, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has emerged as a significant inflammatory marker and a novel predictor of major adverse consequences in cardiovascular disease. AIM In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between PLR and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical a...

Seventy-eight eye of 65 patients were enrolled in this retrospective clinical study. Two-side ports are made with a 23-gauge stiletto knife. The irrigation handpiece is introduced into the anterior chamber through one side port and 27-gauge cystotome is introduced through the other one. Anterior capsular flap is created with cystotome. The capsular flap is vacuumed with a 25-gauge visco elastic...

§ 1421.422 Inspections and reviews. The books, documents, papers, and records of the DMA and parent company shall be maintained for six years after the applicable crop year and shall be made available to CCC for inspection and examination at all reasonable times. At any time after an application is received, CCC shall have the right to examine all books, documents, papers, and determine whether...

A cube-connected-cycles (CCC) is a regular graph, suitable for constructing the interconnection network of parallel or multi-node computer systems. The CCC network possesses the features of symmetry, regularity, fault tolerance, and fixed degree of the network. Message delivery through an interconnection network sometimes fails due to processing node and/or link faults or simply because some pr...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of trabectedin in clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary, which is regarded as an aggressive, chemoresistant, histologic subtype. Experimental Design:Using 6 human ovarian cancer cell lines (3 CCC and 3 serous adenocarcinomas), the antitumor effects of trabectedin were examined in vitro, and we compared its activity ac...

An improved method to retrieve a library function via its Hindley/Milner type is described. Previous retrieval systems have identiied types that are isomorphic in any Cartesian closed category (CCC), and have retrieved library functions of types that are either isomorphic to the query, or have instances that are. Sometimes it is useful to instantiate the query too, which requires uniication mod...

Given a family Σ of forcing notions a subfamily Σ0 of Σ is called a basis provided for every P ∈ Σ there is Q ∈ Σ0 such that forcing with P adds a generic for Q. We investigate the problem of finding a small basis for the class of nonatomic ccc partial orderings. Prikry conjectured that it is consistent that {C,R} forms such a basis, where C is Cohen forcing and R is random real forcing. We sur...

In the analysis and control framework, Bialystok identifies analysis (representation) and control (selective attention) as components of language processing and has shown that one of these, control, develops earlier in bilingual children than in comparable monolinguals. In the theory of cognitive complexity and control (CCC), Zelazo and Frye argue that preschool children lack the conscious repr...

Preparata and Vuillemin proposed the cube-connected cycles (CCC) in 1981 16], and in the same paper, gave an asymptotically-optimal layout scheme for the CCC. We give a new layout scheme for the CCC which requires less than half of the area of the Preparata-Vuillemin layout. We also give a non-trivial lower bound on the layout area of the CCC. There is a constant factor of 2 between the new lay...
