In this work, 5,6,7,8-Tetrabromo-2,3-dihydro-2,3-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)phthalazine-1,4-dione is synthesized by the reaction of 5,6,7,8-tetrabromo-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione with 2-bromoethanol in the presence of triethylamine. The obtained monomer was polymerized with different diisocyanates, including hexamethylenediisocyanate (HMDI), tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), isophoronediisocyanate ...

1 Aims: Our main objective was to analyze individual determinants that lead middle-2 aged women to seek medical care for UI. 3 Methods: Observational longitudinal study among GAZEL cohort participants: 2640 4 women aged 50-62 completed a self-administered questionnaire at baseline. Eight 5 years later (2008) 2273 (86%) responded to a follow-up questionnaire. Seeking care 6 for UI was defined as...

Shifting the design entry point up to the system-level is the most important countermeasure adopted to manage the increasing complexity of Multiprocessor System on Chip (MPSoC). The reason is that decisions taken at this level, early in the design cycle, have the greatest impact on the final design in terms of power and energy efficiency. However, taking decisions at this level is very difficul...

In paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), little is known about the molecular events leading to the clinical manifestations except for the hemolysis. To unfold the complex pathophysiology, it is necessary to elucidate the nature of the PNH clone. PNH exhibits an acquired stem cell disorder, a clonal expansion of affected cells, concomitant depression of normal hematopoiesis in bone marrow (...
