OBJECTIVE To determine frequency and associated risk factors for macular edema and retinal hard exudates in hospitalized African Americans with type 1 diabetes. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Included were 725 African Americans with type 1 diabetes who participated in the New Jersey 725. Clinical evaluations consisted of a structured clinical interview, ocular examination, stereoscopic fundus photograp...

Laboratories that perform toxicology screens are challenged by the requirement to look for large numbers of target compounds in samples that contain complex matrix interferences. GC/MS methods are widely used and accepted for this analysis. Full-scan EI methods offer many advantages for broad-range screening, such as unlimited numbers of targets, full-spectrum identity confirmation, and library...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency and severity of diabetic retinopathy, as well as associated visual impairment, among African Americans with type 1 diabetes. METHODS A total of 725 African Americans with type 1 diabetes were enrolled in the study (The New Jersey 725). Clinical evaluations included structured clinical interview, ocular examination, stereoscopic fundus photography, and bloo...

The aim of this note is to indicate an example that demonstrates the incorrectness of Iimura’s discrete fixed point theorem [J. Mathematical Economics 39 (2003) 725] and to present a corrected statement using the concept of integrally convex sets.

The oomycotaPythium oligandrumPo37 is used as a biocontrol agent of plant diseases. Here, we present the first draft of theP. oligandrumPo37 genome sequence, which comprises 725 scaffolds with a total length of 35.9 Mb and 11,695 predicted protein-coding genes.

An investigation of light scattering of non-imprinted poly methacrylic acid-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PMAA-co-EGDMA) submicron particles (300±5 nm) in aqueous suspension before and after 17β-estradiol (E2) binding was conducted by using a spectrofluorimeter. An optimal excitation wavelength to determine Mie scattering from these submicron particles was 725±1 nm for the highest intensi...

A receiver targeting OC-48 (2.488Gbps) serial data link has been designed and integrated in a 0.8μm CMOS process. An experimental receiving front end circuit demonstrates the viability of using multiple phased clocks to overcome the intrinsic gatespeed limitations in the demultiplexing (receiving) and multiplexing (transmitting) of serial data. To perform clock recovery, data is 3x oversampled ...
