(57) ABSTRACT Methods for diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) are dis closed. In particular, the invention relates to the use of biom arkers for aiding diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of KD, and more speci?cally to biomarkers that can be used to dis tinguish KD from other in?ammatory diseases, including infectious illness and acute febrile illness.

It is deep and important fact about human beings that extraordinary things can be achieved through concerted, coordinated action. The phenomena of coordination extends from elementary exchanges of goods or services between two persons, through a vast array of small to large scale social, commercial, industrial, military, political, public and non-governmental organizations and institutions, to ...

Jaundice is one of the most common conditions which requires medical attention in neonates. In addition to the short-term side effects, phototherapy may result in DNA damage. In this study the extent of DNA damage was assessed before and after phototherapy in cases with neonatal jaundice by single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet Assay). Eighty babies with neonatal jaundice were chosen for the s...

Today, we’ll discuss an aspect of networking that has risen in prominence over the last decade or so: datacenters. Datacenters are large private networks consisting of tens of thousands of servers [15, 16]. Some of these datacenters are in buildings that are the size of six football fields [3]. We’ll first discuss how such datacenters came to be [8]. We’ll then discuss in some detail one specif...

Image of a waveguide superlattice under a high-resolution electron microscope, artificially colored to show the optical field confined in one waveguide. Electrical engineers at Rutgers University have created a method of integrating denser elements on optical chips. This technology may one day be used to make computer chips and data centers run faster and more cost-effective. As silicon integra...
