The serologic and clinical manifestation of infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae were studied in children during the three years from October 1979 to December 1981. Pneumonia was diagnosed in 107 of the 430 patients with lower respiratory tract infections; mycoplasma pneumonia was diagnosed in 52 of these 107 (20 males and 32 females aged one to 14 years). See Fig. 1. By single serology, seropo...

Session-based communication has gained a widespread acceptance in practice as a means for developing safe communicating systems via structured interactions. In this paper, we investigate how these structured interactions are affected by reversibility, which provides a computational model allowing executed interactions to be undone. In particular, we provide a systematic study of the integration...

Much research has studied foundations for correct and reliable communication-centric systems. A salient approach to correctness uses session types to enforce structured communications; a recent approach to reliability uses reversible actions as a way of reacting to unanticipated events or failures. This note develops a simple observation: the machinery required to define asynchronous semantics ...

Aim : To evaluate diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) for detection of regional nodal metastases in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Materials and methods : Ten patients with HNSCC underwent an MRI prior to surgery. The scan protocol consisted of plain transverse T1and T2-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) sequences and gadolinium-enhanced transverse, corona...

The lymphocytes from six human donors produced interferon (IFN) in response to supernatants derived from M. arthritidis broth cultures (MAS). The IFN was characterized as IFN-y. Monoclonal antibodies to HLA.DR determinants suppressed the IFN response. Introduction: Previous work has established that mycoplasmas are inducers of a interferon [1,4,9]. Our recent findings on the presence of a T-cel...
