1 A study of inertial gyroscopic waves in a rotating homogeneous fluid is undertaken both theoretically and numerically. A novel approach is presented to construct a semi-analytical solution of a linear three-dimensional fluid flow in a rotating rectangular parallelepiped bounded by solid walls. The three-dimensional solution is expanded in vertical modes to reduce the dynamics to the horizonta...

BACKGROUND/AIM Graves-Basedow disease is a common multifactorial genetic syndrome, which is determined by several genes and environmental factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of risk factors for developing Graves-Basedow disease between the groups of individuals with and without Graves-Basedow disease, and to compare the presence of risk factors between the affe...

Graves' thyroid disease is a relatively common disorder in endocrinology and general internal medicine practice. Graves' hyperthyroidism is mediated by circulating stimulating autoantibodies. Up to 60% of patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism develop some form of Graves' orbitopathy. Immune reactivity to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor is also thought to play a role in the immunopathog...

The paper describes the properties of boundedness and unboundedness of outer polyhedral (parallelepiped-valued) estimates for reachable sets of linear differential systems with stable matrices over the infinite time interval. New results concerning tight estimates are presented.

The motions of a bar structure consisting two congruent tetrahedra are investigated, whose edges in their basic position the face diagonals rectangular parallelepiped. constraint motion is following: originally intersecting have to remain coplanar. All finite our determined. This generalizes earlier work, where we did same for case when parallelepiped was cube. At end paper point out three furt...

Graves' disease, an autoimmune disease with heterogeneous symptoms including Graves' orbitopathy, has a combined genetic/environmental background, where variations within CD28/CTLA-4/ICOS genes are considered as disease markers.Association of CD28c.17+3T>C(rs3116496), CTLA-4g.319C>T(rs5742909), CTLA-4c.49A>G(rs231775), CTLA-4g.*642AT(8_33), CT60(rs3087243), Jo31(rs11571302), ICOSc.1554+4GT(8_15...

The paper considers the problem of packing non-convex polytopes of arbitrary spatial shapes into a parallelepiped of minimal height. The polytopes are oriented, rotation is not permitted. A mathematical model of the problem is developed and some of its peculiarities are analyzed. Due to these peculiarities a solution method is proposed which is based on a meta-heuristic to find some approximati...

Objective(s):The aim of this study was to determine whether technetium (99mTc) uptake is a relevant method for the differential diagnosis of Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis and calculate its cutoff value in case of its relevancy. Methods: A total of 69 patients, who were followed up (>3 months) in our hospital for thyrotoxi...
