PURPOSE To identify the unique pathologic findings of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) in optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Retrospectively, 29 eyes of 25 patients with age-related macular degeneration and complicated RAP were analyzed. All 29 eyes had choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the area of pigment epithelial detachment (PED) or adjacent to it, which was visible wi...

The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and/or recycled shingles (RAS) in the mixtures is a common practice U.S.A. However, there controversy to date on how RAP/RAS interact with virgin binders (VABs) mixtures. For containing RAP/RAS, aged RAP and air-blown RAS alter performances extracted (EABs). Thus, rheological properties EABs from these require more investigation. focus this paper was ...

BACKGROUND Recurrent abdominal pain is a common pediatric diagnostic problem. Endoscopy is sometimes performed as part of the evaluation. Although gastritis and/or Helicobacter pylori infection is often present, it is not known if they contribute to the symptomatology. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the role of either gastritis or H. pylori infection in the symptomatology of children with RAP. PATI...

PURPOSE To report the presence of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) in an eye with cuticular drusen detected by fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS Case report of a 65-year-old Japanese woman with cuticular drusen. RESULTS At her first ophthalmic examination, her v...

PURPOSE To determine the effects of phothodynamic therapy using verteporfin in the treatment of patients with retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) and the incidence of this retinal disease in our area. METHODS We performed a retrospective study of 11 cases of RAP who were treated with photodynamic therapy using verteporfin (PDT). RESULTS The incidence of RAP in the group of eyes with min...

Recent studies show that AMPA receptor (-R) trafficking is important in synaptic plasticity. However, the signaling controlling this trafficking is poorly understood. Small GTPases have diverse neuronal functions and their perturbation is responsible for several mental disorders. Here, we examine the small GTPases Ras and Rap in the postsynaptic signaling underlying synaptic plasticity. We show...

B lymphocytes spread and extend membrane processes when searching for antigens and form immune synapses upon contacting cells that display antigens on their surface. Although these dynamic morphological changes facilitate B cell activation, the signaling pathways underlying these processes are not fully understood. We found that activation of the Rap GTPases was essential for these changes in B...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a redundancyallocation problem (rap) withcold-standby redundancy strategy and multiple component choices.the applications of the proposed model arecommon in electrical power, transformation,telecommunication systems,etc.manystudies have concentrated onone type of time-to-failure, butin thispaper, two components of time-to-failures which follow hy...
