Background—We investigated the hemodynamic and coronary vasodilatory effects of CGS-21680, a potent selective adenosine A2A agonist, as well as its potential use as a new stress modality in combination with perfusion scintigraphy. Methods and Results—A stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was produced in dogs to reduce the reactive hyperemic response to ,20%. Adenosine...

Vocal fold scar remains a therapeutic challenge. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was reported to have regenerative effects for vocal fold scar, although it has the disadvantage of rapid absorption in vivo. A collagen-gelatin sponge (CGS) can compensate for the disadvantage by providing a sustained release system. The current study evaluated the efficacy of CGS combined with bFGF on vocal ...

The mini-project work undertaken by us involves the design & development of an automatic railway gate control and alarm system using Arduino. It has been noticed that a lot fatalities lives occur everyday due to manually operated rail gates. These happen mainly at places where road passes through city, locality or unmanned gates crossing zones. Currently, gatemen operate on assumption train...

We estimate the amount of the missing baryons detected by the Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background in the direction of central galaxies (CGs) identified in the Sloan galaxy survey. The peculiar motion of the gas inside and around the CGs unveils values of the Thomson optical depth τ(T) in the range 0.2-2×10(-4), indicating that the regions probed around CGs contain roughly hal...

Selenium (Se) can be assimilated and volatilized via the sulfate assimilation pathway. Cystathionine-gamma-synthase (CGS) is thought to catalyze the synthesis of Se-cystathionine from Se-cysteine, the first step in the conversion of Se-cysteine to volatile dimethylselenide. Here the hypothesis was tested that CGS is a rate-limiting enzyme for Se volatilization. Cystathionine-gamma-synthase from...

Selenium (Se) can be assimilated and volatilized via the sulfate assimilation pathway. Cystathionine-c-synthase (CGS) is thought to catalyze the synthesis of Se-cystathionine from Se-cysteine, the first step in the conversion of Se-cysteine to volatile dimethylselenide. Here the hypothesis was tested that CGS is a rate-limiting enzyme for Se volatilization. Cystathionine-c-synthase from Arabido...

We define formalisms to reason about Coalitional Games (CGs), in which one can express what coalitions of agents can achieve. We start with Quantified CGs (QCGs), in which each agent has some goals he wants to satisfy, which may change over time. Then we focus on CGs themselves. Although CGs can be well analysed in a formalism close to Pauly’s Coalition Logic, in QCGs, when having preferences, ...

BACKGROUND The Checklist for the Reporting of Updated Guidelines (CheckUp) was recently developed. However, so far, no systematic assessment of the reporting of updated clinical guidelines (CGs) exists. We aimed to examine (1) the completeness of reporting the updating process in CGs and (2) the inter-observer reliability of CheckUp. METHODS We conducted a systematic assessment of the reporti...
