UNLABELLED Pin tract inflammation and/or infection are common with the use of external fixation devices. Pin sites need to be managed to help prevent complications. There are a variety of regimens proposed for pin care in the literature. The authors present an efficient and simplified approach for addressing pin care protocol using cord locks with the use of compression sponges for external fix...

Informed Trading and the Pricing of Good and Bad Private Information in the Cross-Section of Expected Stock Returns We decompose PIN, the Probability of Informed Trading, into components that capture informed trading on good news (PIN G) and on bad news (PIN B), and provide new evidence that PIN and its components capture informed trading around quarterly earnings announcements. Our principal r...

OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of diagnosis of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and atypical small gland proliferation (ASAP) at a uropathology reference center. To assess the indexes and findings on repeat biopsies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diagnoses of PIN, ASAP or PIN + ASAP established between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2003 were sear...

The phytohormone auxin plays a major role in embryonic and postembryonic plant development. The temporal and spatial distribution of auxin largely depends on the subcellular polar localization of members of the PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carrier family. The Ser/Thr protein kinase PINOID (PID) catalyzes PIN phosphorylation and crucially contributes to the regulation of apical-basal PIN polari...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of halo device associated morbidity over a 4-year period. PURPOSE To assess the impact of a new pin care regimen on halo pin site related morbidity. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Halo orthosis treatment still has a role in cervical spine pathology, despite increasing possibilities of open surgical treatment. Published figures for pin site infection range from ...

This study was undertaken to demonstrate capabilities of the pin-by-pin model used by the BARS code and to understand various effects of intra-assembly pin-by-pin representation of fuel power, bumup and temperature in calculational analysis of light water reactor rod ejection accidents (LWR REAs). Effects of pin-by-pin fuel power and bumup representation were investigated on the basis of calcul...

Dendritic cells prepared by a modification of the method of Steinman and Cohn are I-A+ and FcR-. They are extremely potent at activating not only allogeneic T cell proliferation but also antigen-specific syngeneic T cell proliferation. Dendritic cells from nonresponder strains are unable to present antigens to responder X nonresponder T cells, suggesting that they may be a site of Ir gene produ...
