In Memory of Jacob Schwartz
نویسندگان
چکیده
A few months after Jack Schwartz’s death on March 2, 2009, a memorial gathering was held for him at the Courant Institute of New York University, his home base for almost fifty years. The well-planned program included a few piano pieces and almost a dozen speakers, each of whom had collaborated with Jack in one or more of his many activities. Those present would have heard the speakers talk about:

Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease in an Iranian Patient Confirmed By Brain Autopsy
Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease is the most common form of prion diseases, which have become public health problems in the last two decades because of the high number of reported cases of mad cow disease in Great Britain and other countries. Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease is a fatal situation with known cardinal clinical features including progressive memory loss and myoclonic seizure disorder. In this re...
متن کاملFirst Report on the Percentiles of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Iranian Children Using the 2009 Schwartz Equations
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is widely considered the best overall index of renal function. The Schwartz equations are designed for measuring the GFR in children between 1 and 16 years of age. In the present study, we investigated the percentiles of the GFR in a general population of Iranian children with no known renal disease via the 2009 Schwartz equations (updated and combined equat...
متن کاملAge-dependent spatial memory loss can be partially restored by immune activation.
Aging is often associated with a decline in hippocampus-dependent spatial memory. Here, we show that functional cell-mediated immunity is required for the maintenance of hippocampus-dependent spatial memory. Sudden imposition of immune compromise in young mice caused spatial memory impairment, whereas immune reconstitution reversed memory deficit in immune-deficient mice. Analysis of hippocampa...

Beta trace protein as GFR marker in children
Background and Objective: Serum creatinine is the most used endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), but it also has multiple limitations. Therefore, some surrogate GFR markers, such as beta trace protein, have been introduced for GFR estimation. The aim of our study was to estimate GFR by serum beta trace protein using three available equations and compare them to DTPA GFR as the...
