The effects of continuous intravenous administration of luteinizing hormone-release hormone in conjunction with physiological or pharmacolog ical doses of estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), 17alphaOH-progesterone (17-P), 20alphaOH-progesterone (20-P), chlormadinone acetate (CA), testosterone (T) and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5-DHT) on pituitary response was evaluated in normal and postmenopau...

Though the 2009 worldwide influenza A (H1N1) pandemic has been declared to have ended, the influenza virus is expected to continue to circulate from some years as a seasonal influenza. A rapid antigen test (RAT) can aid in rapid diagnosis and allow for early antiviral treatment. We evaluated the clinical usefulness of RAT using SD Bioline Influenza Antigen Test® kit to detect the influenza viru...

Estimation of the temporal information encoded in the observed hemodynamic response in functional MRI (iMRI) is of great interest. One assumption that most of the current studies make is that the mean waveform observed is consistently locked with the stimulus. and variably,dis@buted about its mean. Because the noise is hi any ViOlahOnS of a method 8 r filtering and tracking the hemodynamic resp...

A simple approach is proposed to investigate the protein structure. Using a low complexity model, a simple pairwise interaction and the concept of global optimization, we are able to calculate ground states of proteins, which are in agreement with experimental data. All possible model structures of small proteins are available below a certain energy threshold. The exact low­ energy landscapes f...
