Modes of action of five antirhinovirus agents were compared. Ro 09-0410, 4',6-dichloroflavan, and RMI-15,731 were active preferentially against human rhinovirus. Serotypes of the virus varied in their susceptibility to these three agents, whereas Ro 09-0179 and enviroxime showed activity against all the serotypes of the virus tested to date. Ro 09-0410, RMI-15,731, and 4',6-dichloroflavan inact...

Introduction. Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) is widely studied for prediction of malignant pelvic masses in Western population. However, little is known regarding its implication in the developing countries. The objective of this study is to determine how accurately the RMI can predict the malignant pelvic masses. Materials and Methods. The study is a retrospective review of patients attending ...

BACKGROUND CA125 and HE4 are used in calculating Risk of Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA); and Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI). However, studies showed that normal levels of CA125, and HE4 differ among ethnicities such as between Asians and Caucasians, thus affecting the accuracy of the RMI score and ROMA in predicting ovarian malignancy. This study aimed to determine whether new or modified cutoff v...

BACKGROUNDS Assessment of predictive values for CA-125, ultrasound features (US) and risk of malignancy index (RMI) in ovarian malignancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS 115 patients, divided into: 1) group-A (n = 41)--ovarian malignancy; group-B (n = 74)--benign ovarian tumor; 2) subgroup-CA(a) with low CA-125 (< 35 U/mL) (n = 64); subgroup-CA(b) with slightly elevated CA-125 (35-130 U/ml) (n = 26); s...

Remote Method Invocation (RMI), Java’s remote procedure call implementation, provides a mechanism for designing distributed Java technology-based applications. It allows methods to be invoked from other Java virtual machines, possibly at different hosts. RMI uses lockbased concurrency control, which suffers from distributed deadlocks, livelocks, and scalability and composability challenges. We ...

OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the validity of cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) and the risk of malignancy index (RMI) in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer in women presenting with adnexal lesions of various histopathology types. METHODS This retrospective cross- sectional study included all women with adnexal lesions who were evaluated at the Royal Hospital, Oman, between January 2012 and Decembe...

We envision a future of heterogeneous mobile devices collaborating spontaneously and bringing convenience to life. Taking a practical approach, we study the feasibility of integrating limited devices into the Jini, Java, and Linux paradigm. With careful evaluation and system hacking, we manage to fit the software stack, excluding Java’s Remote Method Invocation (RMI) support, in a small 1.85-Mb...

BACKGROUND Retinal dystrophies display a considerably wide range of phenotypic variability, which can make diagnosis and clinical staging difficult. The aim of the study is to analyze the contribution of retro-mode imaging (RMI) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) to the characterization of retinal dystrophies. METHODS Eighteen consecutive patients affected by retinal dystrophies underwent a co...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic performances of ultrasound score (US), CA 125, menopausal status, risk of malignancy index (RMI)-- in differentiating between benign and borderline or malignant ovarian tumors. MATERIAL AND METHOD Women with ovarian masses who were scheduled to have elective surgery at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, BMA Medical College and Vajira Hospital be...
