Abstract Synthetic biology builds upon genetics, molecular biology, and metabolic engineering by applying principles to the design of biological systems. When designing a synthetic system, biologists need exchange information about multiple types molecules, intended behavior actual experimental measurements. The Biology Open Language (SBOL) has been developed as standard support specification in following an open community process involving both bench scientists scientific modelers software...
Main cause of dissatisfaction after videothoracoscopic (VATS) sympathectomy in the treatment hyperhidrosis (HH) and facial blushing (FB) is compensatory sweating (CS). Sympathetic nerve (SN) clipping permits to revert block effect by removing clips case an intolerable CS. We present our experience with this technique. Sixty-one patients diagnosed for HH and/or FB were operated on VATS SN clipping. Clipping levels varied function sort disease: FB: T2, palmar HH: T3, axillary T4,...
The degradation-resistant organic-walled cell envelopes of acritarchs are the most abundant microfossils in Proterozoic and Cambrian rocks. These reveal diversity fluctuations that illuminate nature record primary producers near Proterozoic/Phanerozoic boundary. Neoproterozoic radiations, some 1000–542 m.y. ago, reached levels comparable to those observed Period. microbiotas from rock successions 13 biochrons display significant total number microfossil taxa belonging discrete assemblages....
U–Pb age determinations by ion microprobe on zircons from two tuff samples within the Neoproterozoic–early Cambrian successions in Poland are presented. One sample, Kaplonosy borehole is within, or conformably below, rocks that contain Sabellidites–Vendotaenia fossil assemblage of Upper Vendian. The second sample Ksi¹¿ Wielki IG-l borehole, were referred alternatively to early Vendian lithostratigraphic evidence. euhedral and free visible zircon cores, both optically as back-scattered...
Acritarchs are described from rocks of the Upper Proterozoic Eleonore Bay Group and Tillite Lower Cambrian Bastion Formation Ella Island Formation. Twenty-four previously acritarch taxa have been identified. The state preservation is variable perhaps depending on thermal alteration due to thickness overburden, tectonic deformation metamorphism. Palaeoenvironmental aspects some acritarchs discussed. indicate a late Early age in agreement with indicated by shelly faunas. A Vendian ascribed...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate whether eculizumab helps patients with anti–acetylcholine receptor–positive (AChR+) refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) achieve the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) post-intervention status minimal manifestations (MM), we assessed patients9 throughout REGAIN (Safety and Efficacy Eculizumab in AChR+ Refractory Generalized Gravis) its open-label extension. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients who completed randomized controlled trial continued into...
Abstract Neoproterozoic-early Cambrian successions in Iberia are reexamined. A gradual transition across the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian boundary is present Central Iberia, whereas Cantabrian region and Iberian Chains Lower arenaceous rest with profound angular unconformity on Neoproterozoic turbidites. In sedimentary succession referred to informal Domo Extremeño group, representing mostly basinal facies, overlying Rio Huso group consisting of slope deposits proximal turbidites that grade into...
To evaluate the effect of eculizumab on perceived fatigue in patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive, refractory, generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) using Quality Life Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL) Fatigue subscale, and to correlations between improvements Neuro-QOL other clinical endpoints.Neuro-QOL Fatigue, MG Activities Daily Living (MG-ADL), Quantitative (QMG), 15-item (MG-QOL15) scales were administered during phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled REGAIN study...
Abstract An Ediacaran assemblage dominated by an unidentified species of Cyclomedusa Sprigg 1947, along with Ediacaria? Beltanella Hiemalora Fedonkin 1982, and Nimbia? 1980, is described for the first time from Innerelv Member Stappogiedde Formation exposed in coastal outcrops west Tanafjorden on Digermul Peninsula, northeastern Finnmark, northern Norway. The fossil discoidal forms which share certain affinities cosmopolitan genera. Ediacaria . However, our specimens differ these other...
Objective: To evaluate clinical aspects, results and the economic impact of outpatient thoracic surgery programme (OTSP) developed in our Department. Methods: Prospective study 300 patients who entered OTSP from April 2001 to March 2005. The procedures performed were videomediastinoscopy (MC), videothoracoscopic lung biopsy (LB) bilateral sympathectomy (TS). All under general anaesthesia discharged 4–6 h. We analyse demographic data, substitution index (SI), admission rate (AR) readmission...
Objective: The analgesic scheme combining paravertebral block (PVB) and intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) has proven to be effective for postoperative pain control after thoracotomy. hypothesis tested in this study was that policy also suitable improve video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Methods: This a prospective randomized on 40 patients submitted three-ports' VATS pneumothorax or solitary pulmonary nodule. sample size calculated detect one point of minimum...
Abstract New information is presented on the stratigraphic and geographic distribution of acritarchs Lower Cambrian sequences in areas around southern margin Fennoscandian Shield Lublin Slope southeastern East European Platform. In latter area a distinctive radiation diagnostic has been found which abruptly replaces morphologically depleted acritarch assemblage Late Proterozoic type from beds Sabellidites cambriensis Zone. This zone generally regarded as basalmost Cambrian. We contend that...
