AIM To review the existing literature on the role and significance of intestinal transglutaminase 2 immunoglobulin A deposits (TG2 deposits) in patients with overt celiac disease (CD), potential celiac disease (PCD), and other autoimmune or gluten-related conditions. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies published in English, evaluating presence and characteristics of TG2 deposi...

Th e fi nancial regulation architecture in both the United States and China developed during eras when retail deposits and bank loans were the primary mode of fi nancial intermediation. Th e function of banks is to transform short-term deposits into long-term loans, while providing liquidity for depositors. Experience has taught regulators hard lessons that this activity must be subject to prud...

The Elatsite–Chelopech ore field in the northern part of Panagyurishte district Central Bulgaria comprises numerous spatially associated porphyry copper and epithermal gold deposits prospects. In addition to mineralization alteration features, trace elements, lead sulfur isotope signatures sulfide minerals from copper, base metal gold-base deposits/prospects have been studied. LA-ICP-MS analyse...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There has been little published information on risk factors for poor long-term outcome in adult biopsy-proven minimal change disease (MCD). METHODS Data from sixty-three adult, biopsy-proven primary MCD patients treated at a tertiary university hospital between 2003 and 2013 were analyzed. Baseline clinical and pathologic factors were assessed for the associations wi...

Doubly transgenic mice expressing both a mutated amyloid precursor protein and a mutated presenilin-1 protein accumulate A(beta) deposits as they age. The early A(beta) deposits were found to be primarily composed of fibrillar A(beta) and resembled compact amyloid plaques. As the mice aged, nonfibrillar A(beta) deposits increased in number and spread to regions not typically associated with amy...

The outcropping Cretaceous siliciclastic sediments in the Al Bauga area in Northern Sudan reach a maximum thickness of about 30 meter. They rest with angular unconformity on tilted Precambrian basement rocks and are capped by Tertiary-Quaternary basalts forming a type of nonconformity. The sedimentary sequence was subdivided into three major units separated by two disconformities. The lower uni...

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are coating systems containing a metallic bond coat and a ceramic top coat. TBCs are used in gas turbines for thermal insulation and oxidation resistance. Life prediction of TBCs is important as high-temperature exposure degrades the coatings through mechanisms such as thermal fatigue and the formation and growth of thermally grown oxides (TGOs). This thesi...
