Abstract Background To assess the diagnostic capability of novel Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO)-based disc parameters, BMO-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) and area (BMO-MRA) in Chinese population compare them to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) from optical coherence tomography (OCT) (RA) Heidelberg tomograph-III (HRT-III). Methods In total, 200 eyes 77 healthy 123 primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG...

Abstract We establish the global regularity of multilinear Fourier integral operators that are associated to nonlinear wave equations on products $L^p$ spaces by proving endpoint boundedness suitable product containing combinations local Hardy space, BMO and $L^2$ spaces.

David and Journé discovered a criterion for the continuity on L of CalderónZygmund operators defined by singular integrals. In their approach the distributional kernel of the given operator is locally Hölder continuous outside the diagonal. The aim of this paper is to prove a David-Journé theorem where this smoothness assumption is replaced by a weaker one. Our approach strongly relies on an al...

Mechanistic research suggests a unique evolutionary relationship between complex milk oligosaccharides and cognate bifidobacteria enriched in breast-fed infants. Bovine milk oligosaccharides (BMO) were recently identified as structurally and functionally similar to human milk oligosaccharides. The present single-blind three-way crossover study is the first to determine the safety and tolerabili...

PURPOSE To compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) detected, optic nerve head (ONH) compliance within control and experimental glaucoma (EG) eyes of 15 monkeys at EG onset. METHODS Intraocular pressure (IOP) was chronically elevated in one eye of each animal using a laser. Experimental glaucoma onset was identified using confocal scanning laser tomography (CSLT). Optical coherence tomograp...

We describe some elements of the theory of semigroups generated by second order differential operators needed to study the Hardy-type space H1 L related to the time independent Schrödinger operator L = −∆+ V , with V ≥ 0 a potential satisfying a reverse Hölder inequality. Its dual space is a BMO-type space BMOL, that turns out to be the suitable one for the versions of some classical operators ...

Let H n be the Drury-Arveson space on the unit ball B in C , and suppose that n ≥ 2. Let kz, z ∈ B, be the normalized reproducing kernel for H n. In this paper we consider the following rather basic question in the theory of the Drury-Arveson space: For f ∈ H n, does the condition sup|z|<1 ‖fkz‖ < ∞ imply that f is a multiplier of H n? We show that the answer is negative. We further show that t...

Bovine milk oligosaccharides have several potentially important biological activities including the prevention of pathogen binding to the intestinal epithelial and as nutrients for beneficial bacteria. It has been suggested that milk oligosaccharides are an important source of complex carbohydrates as supplements for the food and the pharmaceutical industries. However, only a small number of st...

BACKGROUND For cervical carcinoma cases, this study aimed to evaluate the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans optimized by biological constraints. Furthermore, a new integrated strategy in biological planning module was proposed and verified. METHODS Twenty patients of advanced stage cervical carcinoma were enrolled in this study. For each patient, dose volume optimi...
