While the treatment of complicated diverticular disease (DD) is standardized, the approach to the symptomatic DD and prevention of relapsing complicated DD is still debated. An open question is whether nonabsorbable antibiotics may reduce the incidence of major complications of DD. We wanted to retrospectively analyze the prevalence of this disease in a large population of patients undergoing c...

OBJECTIVE To compare three interventions to reduce diabetes distress (DD) and improve self-management among non-clinically depressed adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In REDEEM, 392 adults with T2DM and DD were randomized to computer-assisted self-management (CASM), CASM plus DD-specific problem solving (CAPS), or a computer-administered minimal supporti...

Death-associated protein kinase (DAPk) is a calcium/calmodulin-regulated Ser/Thr-protein kinase that functions at an important point of integration for cell death signaling pathways. DAPk has a structurally unique multi-domain architecture, including a C-terminally positioned death domain (DD) that is a positive regulator of DAPk activity. In this study, recombinant DAPk-DD was observed to aggr...

OBJECTIVE This study describes characteristics of psychiatry inpatients with developmental disabilities (DD) and their admissions to psychiatry wards in 2 acute care hospitals. It also compares differences in lengths of stay between admissions of this group with a comparison sample of inpatient admissions without DD. METHOD A retrospective chart review was conducted on all individuals with DD...

Abstract We propose an extended one-shot decorrelating detector (EOS-DD) for asynchronous DS/CDMA systems in frequency selective fading environments. The EOS-DD extends a processing window to several symbol duration. The received signal over an extended window is utilized for the decorrelator in the EOS-DD. The effects of the window size on BER performance are investigated by numerical analysis...

We accelerate a double precision sparse matrix and DD vector multiplication (DD-SpMV), and its transposition and DD vector multiplication (DD-TSpMV) by using SIMD AVX2 for Krylov subspace methods. We compare some storage formats of DD-SpMV and DDTSpMV for AVX2 to eliminate performance degradation factors in CRS. Our experience indicates that BCRS4x1, with fitting block size to the SIMD register...
