Background—Younger survivors (YS) of breast cancer often report more survivorship symptoms such as fatigue, depression, sexual difficulty, and cognitive problems than older survivors (OS). We sought to determine the effect of breast cancer and age at diagnosis on Quality of Life (QoL) by comparing 3 groups: 1) YS diagnosed at age 45 or before, 2) OS diagnosed between 55 and 70, and, 3) for the ...

Recent studie pointed out that allergic diseases have increased during the Asian dust storm event (ADSE) in Japan. Daily observations and the atmospheric concentrations of yellow sand (YS) aerosol have been increasing. In this study, YS samples collected from three sites of Japan during ADSE in 2009-2010 were used. The particles were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray ...

The extra-embryonic yolk sac (YS) is the first hematopoietic site in the mouse embryo and is thought to generate only primitive erythroid and myeloerythroid progenitor cells before definitive HSC emergence within the embryo on E10.5. Here, we have shown the existence of T cell–restricted progenitors in the E9.5 YS that directly engraft in recipient immunodeficient mice. T-cell progenitors were ...

The capacity of yolk sac (YS) utilization by the chick embryo may be affected by structural changes in the YS membrane (YSM) and by the mechanisms within its cells for digestion, absorption, and transfer of nutrients. Two experiments were conducted to examine structural and digestive changes in the YS of the broiler chick embryo; weights of embryo, YS, and YSM, as well as the total area of the ...

Let f ∈ C[−1, 1] change its convexity finitely many times in the interval, say s times, at Ys : −1 < y1 < · · · < ys < 1. We estimate the degree of approximation of f by polynomials of degree n, which change convexity exactly at the points Ys. We show that provided n is sufficiently large, depending on the location of the points Ys, the rate of approximation is estimated by the third Ditzian–To...

RESULTS. All of the y-crystallins studied formed large aggregates (or "megamers") in aqueous solutions. However, each protein differed in the relative rates of formation of megamers. ysCrystallin formed megamers much more slowly than y,,and yIVa-crystallin. In solutions containing mixtures of y,, and ys, and y,Va and ys, ys-crystallin significantly suppressed the aggregation of y,,and yIV:i-cry...

Let {Yt} be an observed time series where the interval between observations is fixed. We consider models which take a window of length d of the time series so that Ys+d is the response to 〈Ys, Ys+1, . . . , Ys+d−1〉. We will train the models to predict the next observation in the time series. In order to predict an observation some number of periods f in the future we will predict the next obser...

stability and structural change of iranian consumers&apos; preference for tea commodities during 1988-2005 is investigated throughout the coarse of this study. to this end, nonparametric test of revealed preference has been utilized. results of weak axiom of revealed preference (warp) show that in 1995 a contradiction has been in observed consumers&apos; preference for tea with the null hypothe...

Some pathogens can be naturally recognized and internalized by antigen presentation cells (APCs) in vivo, providing a platform for efficient vaccine delivery. However, the biosafety concerns discourage the clinical applications of live pathogens. Here, yeast-derived microparticles were prepared for cancer vaccine delivery. By chemical treatment of bread yeast, capsular yeast shell (YS) micropar...
