• Population: 2559 CIPs admitted consecutively to the ICU; sample: 484 CIPs. • Exclusión criteria: CIPs < 16 y., major burn CIPs, incomplete clinical documentation, and voluntary discharge. • DRG AP-DRG 25.0 version (684 DRG are grouped into 25 MDC and 1 extra MDC). • Depending on the focus of sepsis, SS related to MDC ‘0’ (precategoría) are transferred to another MDC. • MDC: 1 (neurology), 2 (...

Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) is a CC chemokine that recognizes the CCR4 receptor and is selective for T helper 2 (Th2) versus T helper 1 (Th1) cells. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of the prototypic Th2/Th1 cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), on the production of MDC by human monocytes. IL-4 and IL-13 caused a time-dependent (plateau...

Research was conducted to determine whether Leuconostoc mesenteroides starter cultures with and without malolactic activity (MDC and MDC, respectively) influenced sensory and chemical properties of sauerkraut. No sensory differences were found between MDC and MDC sauerkraut (P 0.05). In addition, sulfur compound profiles of the resulting sauerkraut were nearly identical. Brining at lower NaCl (...

Introduction: Britain’s cancer survival results have been criticised as being significantly higher than twenty Major Developed Countries (MDC). Hence this comparison of current UK Total Age-Standardised-Death-Rates (ASDR), female Breast and Prostate mortality rates with (MDC) between1989 to 2015 determine any significant change.

Millipore diffusion chambers (MDC) with 0.22-j,m filters loaded with spores or vegetative cells of Clostridium botulinum were surgically implanted intraperitoneally (ip) into guinea pigs. MDC expose C. botulinum spores or vegetative cells to body fluids yet protect them from phagocytes. Guinea pigs receiving MDC containing 109 spores plus 108 polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes and MDC with 109 ...

Autophagy is a normal degradative pathway that involves the sequestration of cytoplasmic portions and intracellular organelles in a membrane vacuole called the autophagosome. These vesicles fuse with lysosomes and the sequestered material is degraded. Owing to the complexity of the autophagic pathway and to its inaccessibility to external probes, little is known about the molecular mechanisms t...

The multidimensionally-constrained covariant density functional theories (MDC-CDFTs) have been developed to study the influence of octupole and triaxial deformations on ground state fission properties. In this paper, we present a brief review applications MDC-CDFTs discuss results systematical even-[Formula: see text] uranium isotopes with relativistic mean field (MDC-RMF) model which is one pa...

We provide a collision attack and preimage attacks on the MDC-2 construction, which is a method (dating back to 1988) of turning an n-bit block cipher into a 2n-bit hash function. The collision attack is the first below the birthday bound to be described for MDC-2 and, with n = 128, it has complexity 2, which is to be compared to the birthday attack having complexity 2. The preimage attacks con...

Zusammenfassung Bildungs- und erziehungswissenschaftliche Fragestellungen, die sich z. B. mit dem Umgang (Leistungs‑)Heterogenität von Schüler*innen im Klassenzimmer befassen, sind nicht nur aus der Perspektive des pädagogischen Professionswissens relevant, sondern auch Bestandteil Diskursen zwischen Wissenschaft, Politik, Gesellschaft pädagogischer Praxis. Da (angehende) Lehrpersonen als aktiv...

The classical problem of model selection among parametric model sets is considered. The goal is to choose a model set which best represents observed data. The critical task is the choice of a criterion for model set comparison. Pioneer information theoretic based approaches to this problem are Akaike information criterion (AIC) and different forms of minimum description length (MDL). The prior ...
