BACKGROUND In recent decades, the world has witnessed unprecedented progress in child survival. However, our knowledge of what is killing nearly 6 million children annually in low- and middle-income countries remains poor, partly because of the inadequacy and reduced precision of the methods currently utilized in these settings to investigate causes of death (CoDs). The study objective was to v...

BACKGROUND Patients with cervical disc herniations resulting in radiculopathy or myelopathy from single level disease have traditionally been treated with Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), yet Cervical Disc Arthroplasty (CDA) is a new alternative. Expert suggestion of reduced adjacent segment degeneration is a promising future result of CDA. A cost-utility analysis of these proced...

This paper critically examines the Cantor Diagonal Argument (CDA) that is used in set theory to draw a distinction between cardinality of natural numbers and real numbers. The CDA discussed here using consensus from forms found range recently published sources. Four points critical are raised cast doubts on its validity general applicability. Also, contrary conclusion conventionally drawn CDA, ...

We propose a calculus, cCOA, combining, thus more expressive than each of, two orientation calculi well-known in QSR: Frank’s projection-based cardinal direction calculus, CDA, and a coarser version, ROA, of Freksa’s relative orientation calculus. An original constraint propagation procedure, PcS4c+(), for cCOA-CSPs is presented, which aims at (1) achieving path consistency (Pc) for the CDA pro...

We document for the first time that sanctuary in an organ which expresses high levels of the enzyme cytidine deaminase (CDA) is a mechanism of cancer cell resistance to cytidine analogues. This mechanism could explain why historically, cytidine analogues have not been successful chemotherapeutics against hepatotropic cancers, despite efficacy in vitro. Importantly, this mechanism of resistance ...

BACKGROUND Although limited in capacity, visual working memory (VWM) plays an important role in many aspects of visually-guided behavior. Recent experiments have demonstrated an electrophysiological marker of VWM encoding and maintenance, the contralateral delay activity (CDA), which has been shown in multiple tasks that have both explicit and implicit memory demands. Here, we investigate wheth...

BACKGROUND The HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) constrains the HL7 Reference Information model (RIM) to specify the format of HL7-compliant clinical documents, dubbed CDA documents. The use of clinical terminologies such as SNOMED CT® further improves interoperability as they provide a shared understanding of concepts used in clinical documents. However, despite the use of the RIM and o...

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemias (CDAs) are displayed by ineffective erythropoiesis. The wide variety of phenotypes observed in CDA patients makes differential diagnosis difficult; identification of the genetic variants is crucial in clinical management. We report the fifth case of a patient with unclassified CDAs, after genetic study, with CDA type IV.
