Patients with uncomplicated acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) can generally be treated with conservative medical management. However, these patients may develop aortic enlargement during follow-up, with the risk of rupture. Several predictors have been studied in recent years to identify ABAD patients at high risk of aortic enlargement, who may benefit from early surgical or endovascular in...

Sir, Acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is a life-threatening vascular emergency with an incidence estimated at 5-30 per 1 million people per year.[1] Available evidence support endovascular and surgical treatment for ABAD complicated by shock or organ damage. In uncomplicated ABAD, benefits of endovascular treatment are not well established and the preferred management mandates close clinic...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a conformational disease that is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in the brain. Aβ exerts its toxicity in part by receptor-mediated interactions that cause down-stream protein misfolding and aggregation, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent reports indicate that Aβ may also interact directly with intracellular proteins such as the mitochondrial enzy...

Using a new dataset, this paper presents new evidence on inequality in Latin America for the 19th century and studies the effects of factor endowments and trade on inequality. Recent research has highlighted the link between the colonial origins of inequality and its persistence in Latin America. We find that inequality varied substantially throughout the century a...

This work was conducted to design, implement, and evaluate a new model of measuring Transmission Control Protocol (TCP0 performance of real time network. The proposed model Biological Kurd Messenger (BIOKM) has two main goals: First is to run the model efficiently, second is to obtain high TCP performance via real time network using bio-computing technique, especially molecular calculation beca...

anxiety affects the culture of society so that content of each culture has permanent effects on behavior, feeling and psychological features of people. the purpose of this research was the comparison of early maladaptive schemas between two ethnic groups (i.e. kurds and the persians students) with high and low levels of trait anxiety. the research design was descriptive and ex post facto type. ...

We report on a research effort aiming at the development of an acoustic bird activity detector (ABAD), which plays an important role for automating traditional biodiversity assessment studies – presently performed by human experts. The proposed on-line ABAD is considered an integral part of an automated system for acoustic identification of bird species, which is currently under development. In...
