Xenotransplantation — will tolerance be essential ?
kidney disease (CKD) adds to their prognostic evaluation in terms of mortality. They conclude that the determination of inflammatory markers is not helpful if age and comorbidity are taken into account. It would, however, be appropriate if some further analyses were performed before such a conclusion is advanced. The conclusion of Caravaca et al. [1] is based on a multivariate Cox-regression an...
متن کاملPlasmodium heme biosynthesis: To be or not to be essential?
Sequencing of the Plasmodium falciparum genome in 2002 sparked hopes that metabolic pathway annotation could identify new parasite-specific targets for therapeutic intervention [1]. Cashing in on this potential has proved challenging because many pathways have unexpected properties and/or are only required in certain host environments. Heme biosynthesis has been considered as a possible antimal...
متن کاملByzantine Fault Tolerance Can Be Fast
Byzantine fault tolerance is important because it can be used to implement highly-available systems that tolerate arbitrary behaviorfrom faulty components. This paper presents a detailed performance evaluation of BFT, a state-machine replication algorithm that tolerates Byzantine faults in asynchronous systems. Our results contradict the common belief that Byzantine fault tolerance is too slow ...
متن کاملShould blood be an essential medicine?
199 The medical team members may be frustrated or believe they’ve exhausted the workup studies, and they may prefer not to order any more. They may not be too keen on continuing the same antibiotics. The ICU team hungers for something new and preferably simple. As I review the differential diagnosis, with dis claimers as to why any given di agnosis does or does not ade quately explain the fe...
متن کاملAn Essential Factor for High Mg2+ Tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus
Internal bacterial concentration of Mg2+, the most abundant divalent cation in living cells, is estimated to be in the single millimolar range. However, many bacteria will thrive in media with only micromolars of Mg2+, by using a range of intensely studied and highly efficient import mechanisms, as well as in media with very high magnesium concentration, presumably mediated by currently unknown...
