In this paper we consider Selberg-type square matrices integrals with focus on Kummer-beta types I & II integrals. For generality of the results for real normed division algebras, the generalized matrix variate Kummer-beta types I & II are defined under the abstract algebra. Then Selberg-type integrals are calculated under orthogonal transformations.

A 69-year-old male was diagnosed in February 2004 with stage IV extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma involving the mediastinal nodes, lung parenchyma and bone marrow with high LDH. Shortness of breath developed following the 5th course of Rituximab-CHOP chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, Doxorubicin, Prednisolone). Bronchoscopy guided transbronchial lung biopsy revealed interstiti...

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a growth inhibitor for alveolar type II cells. Type II cell proliferation after lung injury from 85% oxygen is regulated, in part, by a fall in lung PTHrP. In this study, we investigated lung PTHrP after injury induced by >95% oxygen in rats and rabbits. In adult rats, lung PTHrP rose 10-fold over controls to 6,356 +/- 710 pg/ml (mean +/- SE) at 48...

conclusion a significant relationship exists between the type of facial skeletal classification and the shape of the sella turcica; as in class iii patients, sella turcica bridge was reported with a higher frequency. also, sella turcica had a significantly higher length in these patients than in those with class i and class ii facial skeletal types. results sella turcica had normal morphology i...

background: epidemiological investigations on toxoplasma gondii infection have found a significant association between human toxoplasmosis and consumption of raw or undercooked meat. the present study aimed to characterize genotypes of t. gondii in 20 cattle, 40 sheep, 15 goats and 16 pigs from the north of portugal. methods: nested pcr amplified the surface antigen 2 (sag2) gene. sequencing an...

In this paper, we determine the symmetrised density of a nonsingular doubly noncentral matrix variate beta type I and II distributions under different definitions.

objective a 4-month-old female with osteogenesis imperfecta (oi) type ii was admitted in picu of our center due to severe respiratory distress and fever with a diagnosis of severe pneumonia, and mechanical ventilation was initiated. due to severe hypotonia, ncv and emg were performed, and spinal muscular atrophy (sma) type i was diagnosed.

It is well established that glucocorticoids elevate the production of fibroblast-pneumocyte factor (FPF), which induces type II cells to synthesize surfactant phospholipids. FPF, however, has not been identified and it is not clear whether it is a single factor or a complex mixture of factors. In this study it has been shown that, when lung fibroblasts are exposed to dexamethasone, the concentr...
