The Resource-Event-Agent (REA) ontology has its roots in the accounting discipline and was originally developed as a reference framework to conceptualize economic phenomena in an enterprise. In its proposal in 1982, McCarthy already had the vision to facilitate the design of data structures of accounting information systems by means of REA [1]. Since this time the REA model has been further ext...

Serotyping of clinical isolates is a widely used technique for epidemiologic study of group B streptococcal infections. However, serotyping cannot definitively determine epidemiologically related or unrelated isolates. We investigated the use of restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) with both conventional agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in 50 isol...

In patients with reactive arthritis (ReA)/undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy (uSpA), synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) show proliferation to bacterial antigens that trigger ReA, i.e. Chlamydia, Yersinia, Campylobactor, Shigella and Salmonella species. We have shown previously that SFMC proliferate significantly to outer membrane proteins of S typhimurium in Salmonella induced ReA. In th...

Despite recent advances in developing and licensing adjuvants, there is a great need for more potent formulations to enhance immunogenicity of vaccines. An Eimeria tenella derived antigen (rEA) augments immune responses against several pathogens in animal models and recently was confirmed to be safe for human use. In this study, we have analyzed the molecular mechanisms underlying rEA activity ...

Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a non-purulent joint inflammation that usually follows bacterial gastrointenstinal or urogenital infections. The classic presentation of ReA is characterized by an asymmetric arthritis usually in the lower limbs associated with urethritis, conjunctivitis and occurrence of other articular or extra-articular manifestations. ReA is classified as a type of seronegative s...

OBJECTIVES To determine the occurrence and the clinical picture of reactive arthritis (ReA) following an outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium. METHODS An outbreak of S typhimurium phage type DT 193 occurred in several municipalities in Finland in 1999. A questionnaire which had a specific emphasis on musculoskeletal symptoms was mailed to all 78 subjects with a positive stool culture. Based on ...

This study assessed attentional effects on the right-ear advantage (REA) for a dichoticlistening task that used synthetic-speech syllables. Presenting subjects with monaural tone cues at various intervals prior to dichotic pairs of natural-speech syllables, T. A. Mondor and M. P. Bryden 1991 (The influence of attention on the dichotic REA. Neuropsychologia, 29, 1179-1190) found a reduced REA wi...

A result of Soare and Stob asserts that for any non-recursive r.e. set C, there exists a r.e.[C] set A such that A⊕C is not of r.e. degree. A set Y is called [of] m-REA (m-REA[C]) [degree] iff it is [Turing equivalent to] the result of applying m-many iterated ‘hops’ to the empty set (to C), where a hop is any function of the form X 7→ X ⊕W e . The cited result is the special case m = 0, n = 1 ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of microwave endometrial ablation (MEA) with those of rollerball electroablation (REA) for the treatment of menorrhagia. DESIGN Randomized clinical trial (Canadian Task Force classification I). SETTING Eight academic medical centers and private medical practices. PATIENTS Three hundred twenty-two women with documented...
