AIM One of the main problems concerning repeated spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) is the etiological diagnosis. The relation of thrombophilia to RSM is a matter of debate. In this case-control study, we determined the percentages of three thrombophilic mutations (factor V leiden, prothrombin, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) amongst 20 cases with RSM and 20 control normal parous women. R...

Response surface methodology (RSM) offers an empirical approach to the study of clinical enzyme assays. Variables such as pH, which are difficult to characterize by using theoretical enzyme kinetics, are easily included in RSM formulations. In this investigation, we studied with RSM the change in the measured activity of gamma-glutamy-transferase (EC 2.3.2.2) as a function of changes in concent...

This paper addresses reconfiguration of a Replicated State Machine (RSM) in an asynchronous system. It is well known that consensus cannot be solved in an asynchronous system. Therefore an RSM providing strong consistency, cannot guarantee progress in an asynchronous system. However, we show that reconfiguring the RSM is possible in a purely asynchronous system. This differs from all existing r...

Fermented rapeseed meal (FRSM) contains greater levels of protein and less glucosinolates, NDF, and phytic acid than rapeseed meal (RSM) and might be an attractive feedstuff for swine, but its nutritional value has been poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional value of RSM fermented by for growing pigs. In Exp. 1, 6 barrows (21.20 ± 1.47 kg initial BW) fitted ...

The Resource Space Model (RSM) is a semantic data model based on orthogonal classification semantics for effectively managing various resources in interconnection environment. In parallel with the integrity theories of relational and XML-based data models, this keynote presents the integrity theory for the RSM, including the entity integrity constraints based on the key system of the RSM, the m...

This review emphasizes the function and regulation of the Csr regulatory system in the human enteropathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and compares its features with the homologous Csr/Rsm systems of related pathogens. The Csr/Rsm systems of eubacteria form a complex regulatory network in which redundant non-translated Csr/Rsm-RNAs bind the RNA-binding protein CsrA/RsmA, thereby preventing its...

OBJECTIVES Insofar as recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) is linked with dysregulated immunity and inflammatory changes, and given the pro-inflammatory role of interleukin-21 (IL-21), we examined the association between IL-21 polymorphisms and RSM. METHODS AND RESULTS IL-21 rs2055979, rs13143866, rs9992580, and rs4833837 were genotyped in 235 cases of RSM and 235 controls. Regression anal...

Linear programming (LP) is an important field of optimization. Even though, interior point methods are polynomial algorithms, many LP practical problems are solved more efficiently by the primal and dual revised simplex methods (RSM); however, RSM has a poor performance in hard LP problems (HLPP) as in the Klee-Minty Cubes problem. Among LP methods, the hybrid method known as Simplex-Genetic (S...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the reproductive performance of non-pregnant women with recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) and the association between RSM and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in reproductive failure. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifty non-pregnant women with 3 or more consecutive RSM attending our RSM clinic were evaluated prospectively. Detailed history and physical examination were c...

BACKGROUND A higher frequency of spontaneous miscarriage has been observed in infertile couples, and there is a higher prevalence of infertility among patients with a history of recurrent spontaneous miscarriages (RSMs; ≥2 miscarriages). This study aimed to determine the proportion of infertile patients with RSM and examine risk factors associated in patients with RSM being treated with assiste...
