Two female patients presented with multiple radiolucent lesions noted on panoramic radiography. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans confirmed “punched-out” affecting the skull.

HIV resistance to antiretroviral agents is a major contributory cause of treatment failure. The dynamics of HIV replication, together with patient-, physician-, and drug-related factors, lead to emergence of HIV resistant strains in most of the patients. Phenotypic assays look for an increase in the antiretroviral drug (ARV) concentration that inhibits 50% of the growth of the tested HIV strain...

2013 whose GFR is reduced due to intrinsic parenchymal damage as opposed to age-related reductions in GFR without another specific intrinsic renal diagnosis. At each level of CKD there may exist a specific form of renal osteodystrophy. The earliest form of renal bone disease (secondary hyperparathyroidism) may be defined by quantitative histomorphometry and/or biochemical profiling (elevated 1-...

Assuming that the underlying stock follows Fractional Brownian motion and that stochastic interest rate meets the Vasicek model of interest rates, this paper establishes pricing model of Warrant Bonds and deduces the pricing formula of Warrant Bonds by utilizing risk-neutral valuation theory. Finally, this paper analyzes influence of concerned parameters of pricing model on the value of Warrant...
