Anemia with Spur

of chenodeoxycholic acid, with small amounts of lithocholic acid present as well. Spur cells manifested a striking increase in cholesterol content and in the cholesterol: phospholipid ratio, but a normal osmotic fragility. When incubated in heated normal serum, spur cells lost their excess cholesterol and became spherocytic and osmotically fragile. Conversely, sera from patients with spur cells...

Convex Polytopes : Examples and Conjectures by Günter M

Awards spur excellence in research.

Background: Many patients experience difficulties in following treatment recommendations. This study's objective is to identify nonadherence risk profiles regarding medication (antidepressants, antihypertensives, and oral hypoglycemics) from a combination of patients' socio-demographic characteristics, morbidity presented within general practice and medication characteristics. An additional obj...

Apoptosis promoters spur cell division

Apoptosis promoters spur cell division T wo cell-killing proteins also have a nurturing side, say Russell Jones, Craig Thompson (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA), and colleagues. Although the proteins prod lymphocytes to commit suicide, they also prompt the cells to proliferate—and might do the same for a variety of cell types. The two proteins, Bax and Bak, are part of the apoptot...

Spur-reduced digital sinusoid synthesis

This article presents and analyzes a technique for reducing the spurious signal content in digital sinusoid synthesis. Spurious-harmonic (spur) reduction is accomplished through dithering both amplitude and phase values prior to word-length reduction. The analytical approach developed for analog quantization is used to produce new bounds on spur performance in these dithered systems. Amplitude ...
