Four years ago, a 9-year-old boy received percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and a 5F DJS was placed thereafter. The DJS was neglected until it caused serious complications including encrustation involving the whole stent, a 5-cm-diameter vesical stone, fragmentation of DJS, and serious urinary tract infection. For this rare and complex case of pediatric lithotomy, we combined PCNL with the su...

1. Clinical, morphological and biochemical data, including data obtained from the application of subcellular fractionation techniques to liver biopsy specimens, are presented for two patients with the Dubin-Johnson-Sprinz (DJS) syndrome. 2. Subcellular fractionation experiments demonstrate that the lysosomes, which have strikingly reduced equilibrium densities, accumulate melanin. Morphological...

Studies of musical training demonstrate functional advantages in rhythm tasks that result from enriched auditory experience. Anatomical correlates exist in brain areas involved in auditory perception, speech processing, motor control, attention, and emotion. However, these studies fail to include many classes of musicians that might undergo experience-related change. The current study examined ...

Musical perception is non-visual and people cannot describe what a song sounds like without listening to it. To facilitate music browsing and searching, we explore the automatic generation of visual thumbnails for music. Targeting an expert user groups, DJs, we developed a concept named ThumbnailDJ: Based on a metaphor of music notation, a visual thumbnail can be automatically generated for an ...

IntRoductIon Gilbert syndrome (GS, MIM #143500) is characterized by fluctuating mild, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia <85 μmol/L and is caused by mutations in the bilirubin uridine diphosphate (UDP)‐glucuronosyltransferase gene (UGT1A1).[1] Dubin‐Johnson syndrome (DJS, MIM #237500) is characterized by fluctuating mild, predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and is caused by mutations in th...

This study examined relations between passage of time judgments and duration judgments (DJs) in everyday life, in young and elderly people, with an Experience Sampling Method. The DJs were assessed by verbal estimation and interval production measures. The results showed no difference between young and elderly people in judgments of rate of passage of time, a result contrary to the conventional...

Purpose This paper investigates the information behaviour of creative DJs, a group previously not considered from perspective studies. The practice DJing is musically process, where performance can draw on vast range music to create unique listening and dancing experience. authors study what are processes involved in roles embodied play practice. Design/methodology/approach From set semi-struct...

BACKGROUND This study aims to explore the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of Danggwijagyaksan (DJS) for alleviating climacteric syndrome in peri- and postmenopausal women with a blood-deficiency dominant pattern. METHODS/DESIGN This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial. A total of 34 women with climacteric syndrome who have signed informed consent forms wil...

Abstract INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness heparin inhibit development early bacteriuria as a coating for biodegradable ureteral stents. MATERIAL AND METHODS BraidStent®-H stent, whose incorporated by dip coating, was chosen study. Twenty-four swine were randomly divided into two groups: 12 animals underwent unilateral placement and fitted with standard double-j ...
