OBJECTIVES To examine the performance of screening for pre-eclampsia (PE) by a combination of maternal factors, soluble endoglin (sEng), pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), placental growth factor (PlGF) and uterine artery lowest pulsatility index (L-PI) at 11-13 weeks' gestation. METHODS Uterine artery L-PI, sEng, PAPP-A and PlGF were measured at 11-13 weeks in 90 singleton pregn...

in this paper, we present some inequalities for the co-pi index involving the some topological indices, the number of vertices and edges, and the maximum degree. after that, we give a result for trees. in addition, we give some inequalities for the largest eigenvalue of the co-pi matrix of g.

Results A cohort of 204 patients was studied. Age 51 +/9 years; 156 (76,5%) were male; Logistic Euroscore (LE) of 5.1 +/8.4, LVEF 58 +/11. Surgery was 86 (42.2%) CABG, 79 (38.7%) valvular, 16 (7.8%) combined surgery and 23 (11.3%) others. 28 (13.7%) were self-employed. 15 of them already had a PI at the time of surgery. Patients with PI presented a LE of 6.7+/3.9 Vs. 11+/5 (p = 0.006); age 53+/...

In 11 128 apparently healthy 18-year-old men screened for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) 44 had an alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) level of 50% or less of the transferrin reference. In 42 of the 44 the Pi types were: five Pi Z, 10 Pi SZ, three Pi MZ, one presumptive Pi M-, one Pi FM, and 22 Pi M. Probably all Pi Z and most of the Pi SZ subjects were identified. The transferrin reference, howev...

This study aims at developing a simulation system that predicts the optimal study design for attaining tracer steady-state conditions in brain and blood rapidly. Tracer kinetics was determined from bolus studies and used to construct the system. Subsequently, the system was used to design inputs for bolus infusion (BI) or programmed infusion (PI) experiments. Steady-state quantitative measureme...

The branching ratio of the $K^+\to\pi^+e^+e^-e^+e^-$ ($K^+\to\pi^+4e$) decay is calculated at leading order in Standard Model. dominance neutral-pion pole determines overall to be $B(K^+\to\pi^+4e)=B(K^+\to\pi^+\pi^0)B(\pi^0\to4e)\approx7.0(3)\times10^{-6}$. significance this contribution very much concentrated context whole available phase space, throughout most which one-photon-exchange topol...

where the constant factor [π/ sin(π/p)]p is also the best possible. Hardy-Hilbert inequalities are important in analysis and in their applications (see [7]). In recent years, many results (see [1, 3, 8–10]) have been obtained in the research of Hardy-Hilbert inequality. At present, because of the requirement of higher-dimensional harmonic analysis and higher-dimensional operator theory, multipl...

OBJECTIVES To examine whether the maternal serum concentration of the soluble receptor-1 of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-R1) at 11-13 weeks of gestation in pregnancies that subsequently develop pre-eclampsia is different from that in women without this complication. METHODS The concentration of TNF-R1 at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks was measured in samples from 128 cases that subsequently devel...

in this paper, at first we introduce a new index with the name co-pi index and obtain someproperties related this new index. then we compute this new index for tuc4c8(r) nanotubes.
