In the activated partial thromboplastin time, fXI becomes activated by fXIIa due to contact activation-initiated coagulation. However, the relevance of fXIIamediated fXI activation in hemostasis is questi...
متن کاملEpstein, JASA The tongue stops here: Ultrasound imaging of the palate
This paper presents a method for imaging the palate and extracting the palate contour from ultrasound images. Ultrasound does not usually capture the palate because the air at the tongue surface reflects the ultrasound beam back to the transducer. However, when the tongue touches the palate during a swallow, the ultrasound beam is transmitted through the soft tissue until it reaches and is refl...

In this issue of the JCI, Shi et al. describe an interesting variant of a gene...
