The main aim of this paper is to point out that a connective rule should be understood as a consistent family of connectives, in such a way that given any finite sequence of values we can evaluate i ts connective value. A connective rule is what we really need in practice, not a single connective operator. Only in some few cases we can characterize such a connective rule by means of a unique (a...

scleroderma is a multisystem autoimmune connective tissue disease, cliaracterized by hardening of the skin. hv had 25 patients in the iranian pediatric unit of rheumatology over 10 years. there was female predominance if.m = 4/1, 80% female, 20% male). the age of onest was from 6 months to 16 years, the mean age being 10 years. the symptoms and signs were: nonpitting edema in 16%, liard skin in...

also serves to emphasize the areas of agreement and disagreement, so that the non-specialized reader can formulate an intelligent impression of the "firmness" of the various current concepts in the field. In addition to the discussions of the relation between lipids and arteriosclerosis, the Conference gave brief consideration to renal pressor substances and physical factors related to hyperten...

We study three kinds of compactness in some variants of G"{o}del logic: compactness,entailment compactness, and approximate entailment compactness.For countable first-order underlying language we use the Henkinconstruction to prove the compactness property of extensions offirst-order g logic enriched by nullary connective or the Baaz'sprojection connective. In the case of uncountable first-orde...

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a challenging clinical entity associated with multiple connective tissue diseases, and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Effective therapies for connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) are still lacking. Multidisciplinary clinics dedicated to the early diagnosis and improved management of patients with CTD-ILD ...

Periodontitis is a bacterial initiated but host modulated chronic infection that leads to destruction of the connective tissue supporting the teeth. Immune and inflammatory response directed against specific bacteria and its products become responsible for the local periodontal tissue loss in susceptible persons. Non-surgical therapy has been the mainstay of periodontal management with mechanic...

1. An electrophysiological method was used to estimate the half-times for sodium and potassium entry to, and efflux from, the extra-axonal space in peripheral nerve and central nervous connectives of two species of crustacean. Results from crab (marine) and crayfish (fresh water) were qualitatively similar. 2. Peripheral nerve showed no evidence for diffusion barriers, potassium entry and efflu...
