This paper identifies the most serious lacks and limitations of the CCE event model and proposes enhancements that improve the efficiency and functionalities of the event management facility. Each proposed enhancement is described in detail and its advantages in terms of efficiency are estimated.

We report the case of a patient with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) who developed massive bowel infarction caused by cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA). CCE is a complication of diffuse atherosclerosis, and it is responsible for a variety of complex clinical findings due to various degrees of multi-organ damage; it can r...

Capacitative calcium entry (CCE) is the process by which intracellular calcium is replenished from the external milieu upon depletion of intracellular stores. CCE is thought to participate in chemotaxis, proliferation and cell signalling. A physical interaction between intracellular stores and the plasma membrane is postulated to regulate CCE. We hypothesized that cytoskeletal disruption alters...

TRPC (canonical transient receptor potential) channel subunits have been shown to assemble into homo- or hetero-meric channel complexes, including different Ca2+-handling proteins, required for the activation of CCE (capacitative Ca2+ entry) or NCCE (non-CCE) pathways. In the present study we found evidence for the dynamic interaction between endogenously expressed hTRPC6 (human TRPC6) with eit...

Hyperglycemia diminishes positive inotropic responses to agonists that activate phospholipase C (PLC) and generate inositol trisphosphate (1,4,5). The mechanisms underlying both the inotropic responses and hyperglycemia's effects on them remain undetermined, but data from isolated cardiomyocytes suggest the involvement of capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE), the influx of Ca(2+) through plasma memb...

Purpose: To study the effect of Clematis chinensis extract (CCE) on diabetic nephropathy in rats. Methods: Eight-week old male Wistar rats were injected with streptozotocin to induce diabetes. The effects of CCE(250 or 500 mg/kg) on renal function index, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood fat, oxidation index, and pathological kidney changes for 3 weeks were compared to those of the positive co...

Critical care ultrasonography (CCUS) has been defined as an ultrasound evaluation of the heart, abdomen, pleura and lungs at the bedside by the intensivist, 24/7. Within CCUS, critical care echocardiography (CCE) is used to assess cardiac function and more generally haemodynamics. Experts in haemodynamics have published a 'consensus of 16' regarding an update on haemodynamic monitoring. They re...

BACKGROUND Colonoscopy (CSPY) for colorectal cancer screening has several limitations. Colon Capsule Endoscopy (PillCam Colon, CCE) was compared to CSPY under routine screening conditions. METHODS We performed a prospective, single-center pilot study at a University Hospital. Data were obtained from November 2007 until May 2008. Patients underwent CCE on Day 1 and CSPY on Day 2. Outcomes were...

A novel idea of conformal corrugated edges (CCE) is put forward in this paper for tapered slot antennas to obtain improved low-frequency characteristics. The CCE is realized using conformal slots whose two longitudinal boundary lines are modelled using curvilinear function of the curves that form the tapered slots. So the conformal slots can sufficiently corrugate edges of the tapered slot ante...
