More than 40 years ago, we discovered that novel transplantation antigens can be induced in vivo or in vitro by treating murine leukemia with dacarbazine. Years later, this phenomenon that we called "Chemical Xenogenization" (CX) and more recently, "Drug-Induced Xenogenization" (DIX), was reproduced by Thierry Boon with a mutagenic/carcinogenic compound (i.e. N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidin...

The existence of gifted students who have learning difficulties has been well documented (Brody & Mills, 1997; Dix & Schafer, 1996; Ellston, 1993 ; Fetzer, 2000; Hishinuma & Tadaki, 1996; Rivera, Murdock, & Sexton, 1995). These students display a learning capacity that is characteristic of students who are gifted, in parallel with a specific learning disability in areas of academic performance ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence, cause, and prevention of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (H-BPPV) and reentry into the common crus during canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs). STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING Academic tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Forty-four patients with symptomatic posterior canalithiasis (P-BPPV) confirmed on Dix-Hallpi...

This paper’s purpose is to present a functional description of a groupware-type application that controls the environmental management process [Michelis] [Dix 1996]. The application, named SIGMA, was developed for PETROBRAS and has three main objectives: to provide the users information on the process of environmental licensing; to help users conduct this work and allow a better interaction bet...

We give a general construction of affine noetherian algebras with the property that every finite dimensional representation is completely reducible. Starting from enveloping algebras of semi simple Lie algebras in characteristic zero we obtain explicit examples and describe some of their properties. In the following an algebra A will always mean an associative algebra over a field k with a unit...

We present a framework for expressing bottom-up algorithms to compute the well-founded model of non-disjunctive logic programs. Our method is based on the notion of conditional facts and elementary program transformations studied by Brass and Dix in (Brass & Dix, 1994; Brass & Dix, 1999) for disjunctive programs. However, even if we restrict their framework to nondisjunctive programs, their “re...

INTRODUCTION Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder. The Dix-Hallpike and Roll maneuvers are used to diagnose BPPV. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the diagnostic value of repeated Dix-Hallpike and Roll maneuvers in BPPV. METHODS We performed Dix-Hallpike and roll maneuvers in patients who admitted with peripheral vertigo anamn...

UNLABELLED The vestibular-ocular reflex assessment is important, but not enough. Tridimensional electromagnetic sensor systems represent a new method to assess posturography. AIM To assess body sway in healthy subjects who had positive Dix Hallpike and Epley maneuvers and with other vestibular dysfunctions by means of a three-dimensional system. STUDY DESIGN Prospective. MATERIALS AND MET...
