Background: Lung carcinoma is a multiple type cancer comprising of small cell and non-small cell carcinomas (NSCLC). For therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, serum monoclonal antibodies have been produced against lung cancer. Objective: To charac-terize a murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC. Methods: A murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC was s...

We performed a receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of 3915 men and 2032 women. Subjects who were diagnosed with two or more factors among high blood pressure, hyperglycaemia or high triglyceride and/or low HDL were classified as the metabolic syndrome group. By performing a ROC curve analysis, we have determined the cut-off point of waist circumference (WC) and BMI to define m...

The system consists of more than 68,000 codes, compared to approximately 13,000 ICD-9-CM codes. ICD-10-CM codes have the potential to reveal more about quality of care, so that data can be used in a more meaningful way to better understand complications, better design clinically robust algorithms, and better track the outcomes of care. ICD-10-CM incorporates greater specificity and clinical det...

El cáncer de colon es una enfermedad frecuente que puede ser esporádica o familiar. La inactivación del gen supresor de tumores APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) se ha encontrado en más del 80% de los casos descritos de tumores colorrectales, apareciendo como una alteración temprana durante el desarrollo del pólipo adenomatoso. La inactivación del gen APC no es únicamente crítica en el proceso d...

Configuration management, the traditional CM, has been subsumed by a new CM, change management. The strategic organization looks ahead and this includes planning for change. This is an area of particular interest to software product line organizations. A product line organization must manage multiple options and control implementations of those options. In this issue of Strategic Software Engin...

ABSTRACT- In order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and plant density on yield and yield components of bean, a split plot arrangement was conducted in complete randomized block design during two years. The foremost variable was four levels of irrigation: 60, 80, 100, and 120% of the potential evapotranspiration. The second variable was within the row spacing of 5 cm (D1), 10...
