Lossy trapdoor functions (LTDF) and all-but-one trapdoor functions (ABO-TDF) are fundamental cryptographic primitives. And given the recent advances in quantum computing, it would be much desirable to develop new and improved lattice-based LTDF and ABO-TDF. In this work, we provide more compact constructions of LTDF and ABO-TDF based on the learning with errors (LWE) problem. In addition, our L...

Studies of the abnormal oocyte (abo) gene of Drosophila melanogaster have previously been limited to the analysis of a single mutant allele, abnormal oocyte1 (abo1). The abo1 mutation causes a maternal-effect lethality that can be partially rescued zygotically by the abo+ allele and by increasing the dosage of specific regions of heterochromatin denoted ABO. This report describes the properties...

In past and ongoing military conflicts, the use of whole blood (WB) as a resuscitative product to treat trauma-induced shock and coagulopathy has been widely accepted as an alternative when availability of a balanced component-based transfusion strategy is restricted or lacking. In previous military conflicts, ABO group O blood from donors with low titers of anti-A/B blood group antibodies was ...

THE LIVER has long been regarded as a privileged organ which can be transplanted across incompatible ABO blood groups with little risk of hyperacute rejection. l However, in a recent review of 671 first, second, and third liver transplants we found a significant advantage for ABO donor-recipient identity for primary liver transplants.2 Although a large number of ABO mismatched grafts were succe...

Among the conditions capable of causing hemolytic disease of newborn, blood group incompatibility is the most common cause of which most severe forms are encountered in Rh incompatibility. However with availability of effective antenatal care in detecting Rh negative mothers and successful administration of Rh immunoglobulin ABO incompatibility has emerged the most common cause of haemolytic di...

OBJECTIVES To identify venous thromboembolism (VTE) disease-susceptibility genes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed in silico genome wide association scan (GWAS) analyses using genotype data imputed to approximately 2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from adults with objectively-diagnosed VTE (n=1503), and controls frequency matched on age and gender (n=1459; discovery populat...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate clinical trial efficacy, safety, and dosing practices of abobotulinumtoxinA (ABO) treatment in adult patients with upper limb spasticity (ULS). METHODS A systematic literature review was performed to identify randomized controlled trials and other comparative clinical studies of ABO in the treatment of adult ULS published in English between Jan...

BACKGROUND Discrepant results in antigen and reverse ABO blood typing are often caused by a variant ABO gene. Molecular analysis can help to characterize such variants. Here, we describe the identification of a novel ABO gene variant in a patient with aberrant ABO phenotype and discrepant genotyping results. METHODS A patient with discrepant results in automated forward and reverse ABO phenot...

INTRODUCTION A 4-year collaborative project between the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) and 15 American orthodontic graduate programs concluded at the ABO Clinical Examination in February 2006. METHODS Fifty recent graduates (the pilot study group) presented cases that were treated in their graduate programs as partial fulfillment of the requirements for ABO certification. The examinees ...

H uman leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching is critically important for successful hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplantation because the rates of engraftment and transplant outcomes are strongly influenced by the degree of match. This is largely because HLA antigens are expressed on immature pluripotent stem cells. In contrast, ABO incompatibility is not a barrier to successful HPC transp...
