451 end-to-side, and the concomitant veins of the radial artery end-to-end. Saaristo et al. [5] combined the breast reconstruction using abdominal flaps with the transfer of vascularized inguinal lymph nodes based on the superficial circumflex iliac vessels or the superficial inferior epigastric vessels, and the anastomoses were performed from the deep inferior epigastric vessels end-to-end to ...

we introduce a model for prediction the behavior of electrodes which modified withcarbon nanotubes in a polymer medium. these kinds of polymer composites aredeveloped in recent years, and experimental data for its percolation threshold isavailable. we construct a model based on percolation theory and fractal dimensionsand using experimental percolation threshold for calculating the moments of c...

Fe-30Mn-0.05C steel specimens with cold-rolled, partially recrystallized, fine-grained, and coarse-grained microstructures were fabricated by means of 80% cold rolling followed annealing at 550–1000 °C. The initial deformed characterized, the Charpy impact properties tested room temperature (RT) liquid nitrogen (LNT). It was found that absorbed energy increased temperature, while showed differe...

Biomarkers predicting resistance to particular chemotherapy regimens could play a key role in optimally individualized treatment concepts. PTK7 (protein tyrosine kinase 7) belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase family involved in several physiological, but also malignant, cell behaviors. Recent studies in acute myeloid leukemia have associated PTK7 expression with resistance to anthracycline t...

Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Volume 21 Number 3 Fall 2016 Diagnostic imaging with low-dose ionizing radiation helps physicians save lives and assist in prolonging good health. Numerous publications1-5 based on clinical, epidemiological, and ecological studies have claimed increased cancer risk associated with low radiation doses such as received from diagnostic imaging and other ...

This study examined the reliability and inter-list equivalency of two new recorded spoken word recognition measures, the Lexical Neighborhood Test (LNT) and the Multisyllabic Lexical Neighborhood Test (MLNT), and evaluated the effects of lexical difficulty on spoken word recognition by children with hearing loss. Participants were 16 children with prelingual, profound deafness who used a cochle...

The International Centre for Low-Dose Radiation Research (ICLDRR) has assembled, in a single database, all published results from experimental radiation carcinogenesis in mammals. The database contains experimental conditions and outcomes for about 87,000 exposed animals (̃ 60,000 cancers) and 40,000 controls (̃ 19,000 cancers). Experiments were conducted with all types of ionizing radiation, at ...

The enzyme apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase (Lnt) is an integral membrane protein that catalyzes the last step in the post-translational modification of bacterial lipoproteins. Lnt undergoes covalent modification in the presence of phospholipids resulting in a thioester acyl-enzyme intermediate. It then transfers the acyl chain to the α-amino group of the N-terminal diacylglyceryl-modified cyst...
