the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene found in human cancer is p53. in a normal situation, p53 is activated upon the induction of dna damage to either arrest the cell cycle or else induce apoptosis. however, when mutated, p53 is no longer able to properly accomplish these functions. our aim was to investigate p53 protein alteration in cases of basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and compare ...

In this paper, a self-alignment method for strapdown inertial navigation systems based on the q-method is studied. In addition, an improved method based on integrating gravitational apparent motion to form apparent velocity is designed, which can reduce the random noises of the observation vectors. For further analysis, a novel self-alignment method using a Kalman filter based on adaptive filte...

The study presents an interactive descriptive tool (MONRATE) for calculating and predicting reinfection rates and time of Ascaris lumbricoides following mass chemotherapy. The implementation was based on the theoretical equation published by Hayashi in 1977, for time-prevalence: Y=G [1-(1-X)(N-R)] as modified by Jong-Yil in 1983. Using the Psuedo-Code of the MONRATE tool, the calculated monthly...

primary malignant neoplasms of the pericardium are rare and are predominantly mesotheliomas, followed by benign localized fibrous mesothelioma, malignant fibrosarcoma, angiosarcoma and benign and malignant teratomas. 1 this article concerns an atypical presentation of this malignant tumor with symptoms and signs of pericardial effusion. this unusual feature was complete encasement of the heart ...

Functional electrical stimulation with cuff electrodes involves the controlled injection of current into an electrically excitable tissue for sensory or motor rehabilitation. Some charge injected during stimulation is 'lost' at the electrode-electrolyte interface when the charge carrier is translated from an electron to an ion in the solution. The process of charge injection through chemical re...

We consider bulk measurements of shear stress in a discrete element simulation of biaxial compression of a densely packed granular assembly in the failure regime in the presence of a single persistent shear band. The strain evolution of the stress ratio is treated as a time series and data based methods from nonlinear dynamical systems theory are applied to characterise the underlying dynamics ...

background: inhibin is a dimeric glycoprotein that has a depressive effect on the anterior hypophyse secretion. the level of this tumor marker is undetectable in menopause women. in patients with gynecological cancer, especially granulosa and epidermal-type (mucinous), ovarian cancers considerable increase in the serum level of inhibin has been reported. the increased level of inhibin has been ...
