During November 1993-October 1994 tuberculin skin test reactivity (PPD-Thai Red Cross: 0.1 ml of 10 IU) was determined among 399 asymptomatic HIV-1 positive subjects and 405 healthy volunteers, 10% (40/399) had PPD-TRC induration 0-2 mm compared with 4.2% (17/405) (p = 0.001) and 43.4% (173/399) had induration > or = 10 mm compared with 53.8% (218/405) (p = 0.003) of healthy volunteers. However...

Brain tissue is highly vulnerable to ischemia/hypoxia, and real-time monitoring of its viability is important. By fiber-based measurements for rat brain, we previously observed a unique triphasic reflectance change (TRC) after a certain period of time after hypoxia. After TRC, rats could not be rescued, suggesting that TRC can be used as an indicator of loss of brain tissue viability. In this s...

BACKGROUND Tobacco related cancers (TRC) account for major share of all cancers and updated of incidence data are helpful in policy changes. The aim was to present an update of TRCs on age-adjusted incidence data and corresponding lifetime risk of developing TRC for different regions of the country. METHODS The data for this study were obtained from published reports of 25 population-based ca...

INTRODUCTION Transradial coronary angiography (TRC) can be performed with a one-catheter approach for the right and left coronary ostium (R/LCO). We investigated the performance of a special diagnostic catheter widely used for the one-catheter-approach, the Tiger (Tiger II, TerumoTM). METHODS In a dual center registry we analyzed 1412 TRC-procedures exclusively performed by experienced TRC-op...

Stem cell therapy offers potential in the regeneration of craniofacial bone defects; however, it has not been studied clinically. Tissue repair cells (TRCs) isolated from bone marrow represent a mixed stem and progenitor population enriched in CD90- and CD14-positive cells. In this phase I/II, randomized, controlled feasibility trial, we investigated TRC cell therapy to reconstruct localized cr...

The toric ideals of 3 × 3 transportation polytopes Trc are quadratically generated. The only exception is the Birkhoff polytope B3. If Trc is not a multiple of B3, these ideals even have square-free quadratic initial ideals. This class contains all smooth 3 × 3 transportation polytopes.

Solid–liquid–solid twin-roll casting (SLS-TRC) and liquid–solid–liquid (LSL-TRC) are two processes for manufacturing three-laminated aluminum composite plates by using solid–liquid cast-rolling technology. In order to study the variation law of thickness fractions, a 1060/3003/1060 plate was taken as product, solid strip used variable. Based on “uactive” user subroutines MSC.MARC software, 2D t...
