Background The purpose of the current study is to investigate anatomical relationships between the muscle overlying the distal transverse carpal ligament (TCL) and the thenar motor branch of the median nerve. Methods Of the 192 wrists that underwent open carpal tunnel release, a muscle belly overlying the TCL was observed on the distal margin of TCL in 25 wrists and ligament exposure could no...

The incidence of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis (TCL) is likely to be on the rise in Tunisia over the last two decades. However, this pathological condition remains poorly characterized, in regard to involved mycobacterial species. Purpose: To study the etiology and treatment outcome of TCL among Tunisian patients; to indicate the mycobecteria responsible for the majority of TCL cases. This...

Transportable agents are autonomous programs that migrate from machine to machine, performing complex processing at each step to satisfy client requests. As part of their duties agents often need to communicate with other agents. We propose to use remote procedure call (RPC) along with a exible interface de nition language (IDL), to add structure to inter-agent communication. The real power of ...

Transecting the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) is a routine procedure to surgically treat carpal tunnel syndrome; yet, its mechanical consequences on carpal bones are unclear. In this study, our intent was to perform a computational analysis of carpal biomechanics resulting from TCL release. A three-dimensional finite element model of the wrist was constructed, which included all the carpal b...

Tcl is a highly dynamic language that is especially challenging to execute eeciently. The dual-language nature of the system enforced by the C callback mechanism makes traditional compilation and optimization un-realistic. In addition, the lack of formal data types (and therefore type checking) places severe limits on the ability to provide for eecient data storage at compile time. In this pape...

Although high c-Myc protein expression is observed alongside MYC amplification in some cancers, in most cases protein overexpression occurs in the absence of gene amplification, e.g., T cell lymphoma (TCL). Here, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II γ (CAMKIIγ) was shown to stabilize the c-Myc protein by directly phosphorylating it at serine 62 (S62). Furthermore, CAMKIIγ was shown to be...

GEnesis is a system in use at the NBC television network for automating the composition and distribution of video. It works in a mission critical environment; a system failure could potentially result in a substantial loss of revenue for the network. Tcl/Tk has been an integral part of the operator interface and data handling portions of the GEnesis system from the earliest stages of prototypin...

Dicer, an endonuclease in RNase III family, is essential for the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Aberrant expression of Dicer has been shown in various cancers including some subtypes of T cell lymphoma (TCL), which influences patient prognosis. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3742330A>G has been identified in the Dicer gene, located in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) that is impo...

AltaVista Forum is an award-winning collaboration environment based on the open technologies of the World-Wide Web and built on the foundation of the Tcl language [pob]. Using Tcl’s inherent extensibility the AltaVista Forum toolkit provides a simple class/inheritance mechanism, an information manager customized for the data storage needs of collaboration applications, and a growing toolkit for...

Tcl is a language specifically intended for generic application control. By using it, application programmers escape the dilemma of whether to design sophisticated application-specific languages or whether to build tools more quickly but that are limited in flexibility. Tcl is easy for application programmers to use, however, up to now, there has been no general-purpose debugger for application...
