Little is known about the frequency of key mutations in thyroid cancer metastases and its relationship with primary tumor genotype.To evaluate TERT promoter (TERTp), BRAF, NRAS metastatic carcinomas, analyzing tumors, lymph node (LNMs), distant metastases.Mutation analysis was performed 437 tissue samples from 204 patients, mainly papillary carcinomas (PTCs; n = 180), including 196 LNMs 56 metastases. All included corresponded to radioiodine-refractory tissue.We found following mutation...
Changes in thyroid function may occur during treatment with amiodarone. A double blind prospective trial of amiodarone and placebo was performed 37 patients the subacute phase myocardial infarction. Though none assigned to receive developed any antibody, six 13 treated antithyroid microsomal antibodies. There no difference triiodothyronine thyroxine concentrations between two groups, but a significant stimulating hormone noted on day 30 (p less than 0.05). Six months after withdrawal...
Thyroglobulin (Tg) levels measured at the time of remnant ablation after thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) were shown to have prognostic value in predicting disease-free status.Our objectives determine whether stimulated Tg levels, performed under recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) stimulation, has absence detectable disease 1 year radioiodine therapy and compare results obtained with this approach a cohort patients submitted THW.This was prospective observational study.The study included 293...
In this paper we introduce a classification for spatio-temporal systems based on the properties of represented objects. Building classification, assert that complex objects can be derived from simpler ones, following an evolutionary approach which starts with study simple and ends by enriching them new features. This focuses definition data model representation moving points. The is decomposition trajectory points into sections. movement within each section described variability function....
Wikis are popular tools commonly used to support distributed collaborative work.Wikis can be seen as virtual scrapbooks that anyone edit without having any specific technical know-how.The Wikipedia is a flagship example of real-word application wikis.Due the large scale it's difficult easily grasp much information stored in this wiki.We address one particular aspect issue by looking at revision history each article.Plotting activity timeline we expose complete article's understandable...
Abstract In this paper an application of constraint logic programming (CLP) to the resolution nesting problems is presented. Nesting are a special case cutting and packing problems, in which pieces generally have non‐convex shapes. Because their combinatorial optimization nature, traditionally been tackled by heuristics recent past meta‐heuristics. When trying formulate as linear models, achieve global optimal solutions, difficulty dealing with disjunction constraints arises. On contrary,...
This paper describes canine augmentation technology (CAT) for use in urban search and rescue (USAR). CAT is a WiFi enabled sensor array that worn by trained canines deployed disasters. The system includes, but not limited to, cameras provide emergency responders with real-time data to remotely monitor, analyze take action during USAR operations. An analysis made of the current tools available workers including robots teams. From this came design CAT-a extracts strengths each tool combines...
In this paper we discuss the use of accelerometers and Bluetooth to monitor canine pose in context common poses observed urban search rescue dogs. We system a disaster environment, propose techniques for determining pose. addition challenges with approach such environments. The presents experimental results obtained from heavy simulation, where experiments were conducted using multiple canines, which show that angles can be derived acceleration readings. Our similar measured each poses, even...
Time has been successfully used as a feature in web information retrieval tasks. In this context, estimating document's inception date or last update is necessary task. Classic approaches have HTTP header fields to estimate time. The main problem with approach that it applicable small part of documents. work, we evaluate an alternative strategy based on neighborhood. Using random sample containing 10,000 URLs from the Yahoo! Directory, study each links and media assets determine its age. If...
In this paper we discuss determining canine pose in the context of common poses observed urban search and rescue dogs through use a sensor network made up accelerometers. We estimation system disaster environment, propose techniques for pose. addition challenges with approach such environments. This presents experimental results obtained from heavy simulation, where experiments were conducted using multiple canines, which show that angles can be derived acceleration readings. Our similar...
E nglish is by far the most used language on web. In some domains, existence of less content in users' native may not be problematic and even help to cope with information overload. Yet, domains such as health, where quality critical, a larger quantity mean easier access higher content. Query translation good strategy other languages, but presence medical terms health queries makes process more difficult, for users very proficiencies. this study, we evaluate how translating query affects...
Geographical Information Systems were originally intended to deal with snapshots representing a single state of some reality but there are more and applications requiring the representation querying time-varying information. This work addresses moving objects on GIS.
Purpose The intent of this work is to evaluate several generalist and health‐specific search engines for retrieval health information by consumers: compare the effectiveness these different types clinical queries, medical specialties condition severity; use evaluation metrics binary relevance scales graded ones. Design/methodology/approach authors conducted a study in which users evaluated documents retrieved four two needs. Users could choose between (Bing, Google, Sapo Yahoo!)...
