OBJECTIVES To validate with an independent study that simple atrophy/postatrophic hyperplastic lesions (proliferative inflammatory atrophy [PIA]) often merge directly with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). METHODS Using radical prostatectomies (n =14), all high-grade PIN and adenocarcinoma lesions were identified. We examined the two-dimensional topographic relationship be...

This paper presents a new pseudo pin assignment algorithm for crosstalk noise control in multi-layer gridless general area routing. It also tends to minimize the number of vias needed in detailed routing. Our approach consists of two steps: coarse pseudo pin assignment and detailed pseudo pin assignment. Coarse pseudo pin assignment uses the crosstalk noise constraints to estimate the spacing r...

PURPOSE To conduct a prospective randomised controlled study to compare the stability and risk of nerve injury between fractures treated by medial-lateral pin fixation and those treated by 2-lateral pin fixation. METHODS Patients with displaced supracondylar fractures admitted between May 2000 and December 2001 were recruited into the study. They were randomised to treatment either with media...

Pin track-associated complications are almost universal findings with the use of external fixation. These complications are catastrophic if it leads to the failure of the bone-pin interface and could lead to pin loosening, fracture non-union and chronic osteomyelitis. Strategies proposed for the prevention and management of pin track complications are diverse and constantly changing. Prevention...

The Performance of electric vehicle IGPT Pin fin heat sink can be measured by the temperature field and the fluid pressure and other parameters. In order to improve the cooling effect of Pin fin heat sink, diameter, length and distance of the fin was optimized combination. The relationship between pressure drop of the water inlet, outlet and pin fin parameters was analyzed and calculated. It wa...

I n this paper, trading symbols of the 30 largest companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) were ranked based on the asymmetry information risk. Using the Ersan and Alici (2016) modified clustering algorithm (EA), we estimated the probability of informed trading (PIN) to measure the asymmetry information among traders for each trading symbol and trading day through two-year...

The yeast Sup35 and Rnq1 proteins can exist in either the noninfectious soluble forms, [psi-] or [pin-], respectively, or the multiple infectious amyloid-like forms called [PSI+] or [PIN+] prion variants (or prion strains). It was previously shown that [PSI+] and [PIN+] prions enhance one another's de novo appearance. Here we show that specific prion variants of [PSI+] and [PIN+] disrupt each o...

Pin track sepsis is a common complication of circular external fixation. HIV status has been implicated as an independent risk factor for the development of pin track infection and has been cited as a reason not to attempt complex limb reconstruction in HIV-positive patients. This retrospective review of patients treated with circular external fixators looked at the incidence of pin track sepsi...
