Disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) attempt to route network messages via intermittently connected nodes. Routing in such environments is difficult because peers have little information about the state of partitioned and transfer opportunities between are limited duration. In this paper, we propose MaxProp, a protocol for effective routing DTN messages. MaxProp based on prioritizing both schedule packets transmitted other be dropped. These priorities path likelihoods according historical...
The identification of mutations in genes encoding peptides succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndromes has necessitated clear elucidation genotype-phenotype associations.Our objective was to determine associations a cohort patients with and subunit B (SDHB) or D (SDHD) mutations.The International SDH Consortium studied 116 individuals (83 affected 33 clinically unaffected) from 62 families SDHB SDHD mutations. Clinical data were collected between August 2003...
IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-alpha play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis animals; however, evidence that these a similar bone loss human studies is limited.Our objective was to determine associations between serum markers inflammation changes mineral density (BMD) urinary pyridinoline (PYR) creatinine (Cr) ratio over 2.9 yr older adults.A total 168 randomly selected subjects (mean 63 yr, range 52-78, 48% female) studied. BMD measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at...
Severe iodine deficiency (ID) during gestation is associated with neurocognitive sequelae. The long-term impact of mild ID, however, has not been well characterized. purpose this study was to determine whether children born mothers urinary concentrations (UICs) <150 μg/L pregnancy have poorer educational outcomes in primary school than peers whose did gestational ID (UIC ≥150 μg/L). This a longitudinal follow-up (at 9 years old) the Gestational Iodine Cohort. Pregnancy occurred period...
Abstract This pilot study evaluated the effects of supplementation with PUFA on blood FA composition and behavior in children Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)‐like symptoms also reporting thirst skin problems. Fifty were randomized to treatment groups receiving either a supplement providing daily dose 480 mg DHA, 80 EPA, 40 arachidonic acid (AA), 96 GLA, 24 α‐tocopheryl acetate, or an olive oil placebo for 4 mon doubleblind parallel treatment. Supplementation led substantial...
Abstract Purpose: A reliable method for diagnosing parathyroid carcinoma has remained elusive over the years, resulting in its under-recognition and suboptimal therapy. Obtaining an accurate diagnosis become even more pressing matter with recent evidence that germline HRPT2 gene mutations are found patients apparently sporadic carcinoma. There is a high prevalence of biallelic inactivation We hypothesize loss parafibromin, protein product gene, would distinguish from benign tissue....
Accumulating evidence suggests dietary fatty acids (FAs) may be sensed in the oral cavity. However, effective cues have not been characterized. In particular, influences from other sensory hampered identification of an independent gustatory contribution. Experiment 1 examined techniques to minimize formation FA oxidation products and improve homogeneity water/lipid emulsions used as stimuli 2, a psychophysical study determine detection thresholds humans. Through sonication chilled samples...

Five cases of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis are presented and an additional 50 from the English language literature since 1960 reviewed. Lung cancer breast were most frequently occurring primary neoplasms, but a wide variety solid tumors may cause metastasis. The presenting symptoms pain and/or weakness. neurologic status deteriorated rapidly in majority patients period to days weeks. Progression hemisection syndrome or transection occurred approximately half patients. characteristic...
Metabolic labeling of immature jackbean cotyledons with 14C-amino acids was used to determine the processing steps involved in assembly concanavalin A. Pulse-chase experiments and analyses immunoprecipitated lectin forms indicated a complex series events involving seven distinct species. The structural relatedness all intermediate species confirmed by two-dimensional mapping 125I-tryptic peptides. An initial glycosylated precursor deglycosylated cleaved into smaller polypeptides, which...
Certain monomorphic cellular tumors that occur in the dermis have been called trabecular carcinomas or Merkel cell tumors. Forty-six cases reported to date and literature on these is reviewed here, with six additional reported. Cytologic features include sparse cytoplasm, dispersed chromatin inconspicuous nucleoli round nuclei many mitoses. Trabeculae pseudorosettes may be identified. Electron microscopy required for definitive diagnosis. Like normal cells, tumor cells contain electron-dense...
Context: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy. The reported incidence of PTC has more than doubled in many countries during past half century. In Tasmania, an island state Commonwealth Australia increased by 24.7% per annum last two decades. Objective: Using Tasmanian population as a model, this study sought to determine relationship between changes and trends for utilization surgery fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) cytology. Design: Hospital...
Abstract Objective To determine the associations between serum levels of vitamin D, sunlight exposure, and knee cartilage loss cross‐sectionally longitudinally in older adults. Methods A total 880 randomly selected subjects (mean age 61 years [range 51–79 years], 50% women) were studied at baseline, 353 these 2.9 later. Serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) assessed by radioimmunoassay, exposure was questionnaire. T1‐weighted fat‐suppressed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) right performed to...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic bronchitis, emphysema and irreversible airflow limitation. These changes are thought to be due oxidative stress an imbalance of proteases antiproteases. Quercetin, a plant flavonoid, potent antioxidant anti-inflammatory agent. We hypothesized that quercetin reduces lung inflammation improves function in elastase/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-exposed mice which show typical features COPD, including airways inflammation,...
