چکیده

Atherosclerotic disease of the vascular system is a continuum. Disease may begin early in life, but it does not become clinically overt until atherosclerotic plaques reach a critical stage. The clinical manifestations of the disease are related to the impairment of tissue perfusion caused by the growth of the plaque inside the lumen of the vessel, causing impairment of blood flow and symptoms such as angina pectoris.

Active T-rosette-forming cells in the peripheral blood of cancer patients.

We studied a subpopulation of the thymus-dependent rosette-forming lymphocytes from the peripheral blood of normal individuals and of untreated patients with solid tumors or hematological cancers. This subpopulation of the thymus-dependent rosette-forming cells (T-RFC), termed the "active T-RFC," may be relatively more immunocompetent than the total thymus-dependent population. The mean percen...

Developing more efficient immunotherapy strategies will require better understanding of the disorders of immune responses in cancer patients. NKT (natural killer-like T) cells were originally described as a unique population of T cells with the co-expression of NK cell ma...

Contextual Interference Effect in Bandwidth and Self-Control Feedback Conditions on Relative and Absolute Timing Learning

This study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. In two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. In experiment I, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...

Natural history of atrial septal defect.

The natural history of atrial septal defect becomes increasingly difficult to determine with the number of patients having operations. The expectation of life has been calculated for those surviving their first year by two quite independent methods: (I) from 121 reported necropsies and (2) by calculating the mortality rates each decade from 25 deaths among 167 personal or reported patients foll...
