OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to assess long-term prognostic value of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) in patients after acute myocardial infarction (MI) and its association with possible risk factors. METHODS This prospective, case-control study was an observation of 198 patients who had acute MI. Response to aspirin and clopidogrel was assessed using impedance aggre...

Ghrelin, the only known peripherally produced and centrally acting peptide that stimulates food intake, is synthesized primarily in the stomach and acts through the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a). In addition to its orexigenic effect, ghrelin stimulates the release of growth hormone (GH). In this study, we investigated the biological properties of full-length and shortened ghrel...

Adaptively evolvable systems require some reconfigurable capabilities, habituated within the FPGA. FPGA’s can be integrated with either Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) or Virtual Reconfiguration Circuits (VRC). Since DPR allows lesser resource utilization on the FPGA available logic, which has a positive repercussion in power consumption compared to VRC’s, we are using FPGA’s with native ...

Chromosome effects: No data gap, no adverse effect DNA damage: No data gap, study not required at this time 2 Neurotoxicity: Not required at this time Document No. 50436-031 contains a " Notice of Intent to Suspend " from DPR to Koppers 1 Industries, dated 5/23/96. That notice lists oncogenicity (mouse) as the sole outstanding animal study required by DPR under SB-950. The registrants had reque...

There is increasing concern over P leaching from sandy soils applied with water-soluble P fertilizers. Laboratory column leaching experiments were conducted to evaluate P leaching from a typical acidic sandy soil in Florida amended with DPR fertilizers developed from dolomite phosphate rock (DPR) and N-Viro soil. Ten leaching events were carried out at an interval of 7 days, with a total leachi...

We present the new technique of dynamic path reduction (DPR), which allows one to prune redundant paths from the state space of a program under verification. DPR is a very general technique which we consider here in the context of the bounded model checking of sequential programs with nondeterministic conditionals. The DPR approach is based on the symbolic analysis of concrete executions. For e...

To the editor: I was interested to read the paper by Hu et al. [1] published in the April 2012 issue of the Journal of Periodontal & Implant Science The authors aimed to determine the reliability of presurgical planning based on the use of two types of radiographic image (digital panoramic radiography [DPR] and cone-beam computed tomography [CBCT]) evaluated by beginner dentists placing implant...

background and aims: quality of visit services is a decisive aspect of patient-physician communication that its inadequacy can negatively influence the diagnosis efficiency. the aim of this study was to survey visit quality at provincial level during plan of health sector evolution in tabriz. methods: a sample of 540 patients who referred to the outpatient clinics (sheikh al raeis of tabriz pro...

Following the success of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), considerable effort has been directed at the next generation of space-based precipitation radar (PR) to be launched aboard the Global Precipitation Measuring (GPM) core satellite. The GPM mission concept is centered on the deployment of a core observatory satellite with an active dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR), o...

Information processing relies on precise patterns of synapses between neurons. The cellular recognition mechanisms regulating this specificity are poorly understood. In the medulla of the Drosophila visual system, different neurons form synaptic connections in different layers. Here, we sought to identify candidate cell recognition molecules underlying this specificity. Using RNA sequencing (RN...
