BACKGROUND Monitoring cardiovascular function in acutely ill patients in the emergency department (ED) is of paramount importance. Arterial pressure (AP) is usually monitored using intermittent oscillometric measurements with an upper arm cuff. The vascular unloading technique (VUT) allows continuous noninvasive AP monitoring. In this study, we compare continuous AP measurements obtained by VUT...

Several reports have linked activating protein 2alpha (AP-2alpha) to apoptosis, leading us to hypothesize that AP-2alpha is a substrate for caspases. We tested this hypothesis by examining the effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) on the expression of AP-2 in breast cancer cells. Here, we provide evidence that TNF-alpha downregulates AP-2alpha and AP-2gamma expression posttranscrip...

For the characterization of multipliers Lp(Rd) or more generally, Lp(G) for some locally compact Abelian group G, so-called Figa-Talamanca–Herz algebra Ap(G) plays an important role. Following Larsen’s book, we describe as bounded linear operators that commute with translations. The main result this paper is Ap(G). In fact, demonstrate it coincides space Lp(G),?·?p. Given a multiplier T (Ap(G),...

Adaptor protein (AP) complexes are essential components for the formation of coated vesicles and the recognition of cargo proteins for intracellular transport. Each AP complex exposes two appendage domains with that function to bind regulatory accessory proteins in the cytosol. Secondary structure predictions, sequence alignments and CD spectroscopy were used to relate the beta-appendages of al...

INTRODUCTION Antipsychotics (AP) induce weight gain. However, reviews and meta-analyses generally are restricted to second generation antipsychotics (SGA) and do not stratify for duration of AP use. It is hypothesised that patients gain more weight if duration of AP use is longer. METHOD A meta-analysis was conducted of clinical trials of AP that reported weight change. Outcome measures were ...

Abstract This article aims to investigate the identity of Socrates, compiler AP 14.1-64 (arithmetic problems and riddles). Leaving aside traditional, but very uncertain, identification with Socrates epigrammatist (D.L. 2.47), it is shown that chronological conjecture by Carcopino 1926 (late 1st century BC -2nd AD ) no longer holds. A wider time frame established (1st-4th centuries ), although e...

OBJECTIVE Little is known regarding the link between intimate partner violence (IPV), alcohol problems (AP), and depression in inner-city African American women. We sought to investigate whether abused inner-city African American women reporting AP endorsed more depressive symptoms compared to women reporting either AP or IPV or reporting neither. METHOD Participants for this cross-sectional ...
