OBJECTIVE To develop reference values by age and sex for LM measures using GE-Healthcare DXA systems. METHODS A de-identified sample was obtained from Ball State University's Clinical Exercise Physiology Laboratory and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Physical Activity & Health Research Laboratory. DXA scans of 2,076 women and 1,251 men were completed using a GE Lunar Prodigy or iDXA. Perc...

Neurons in the pretectal nucleus lentiformis mesencephali (LM) are involved in the analysis of optic flow. LM provides mossy fiber inputs to folia VI-VIII of the posterior cerebellum and IXcd of the vestibulocerebellum. Previous research has shown that the vestibulocerebellum is involved in visual-vestibular integration supporting gaze stabilization. The function of folia VI-VIII in pigeons is ...

BACKGROUND We have evaluated an attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) candidate vaccine vector in nonhuman primates using a delivery regimen relying solely on oral vaccination. We sought to determine the impact of prior Lm vector exposure on the development of new immune responses against HIV antigens. FINDINGS Two groups of rhesus macaques one Lm naive, the other having documented prior Lm ...

Tumor suppressor p53 is involved in regulating immune responses, which contribute to antitumor and antiviral activity. However, whether p53 has anti-bacterial functions remains unclear. Listeria monocytogenes (LM) causes listeriosis in humans and animals, and it is a powerful model for studying innate and adaptive immunity. In the present study, we illustrate an important regulatory role of p53...

Given an instance of TSP together with an optimal solution, we consider the scenario in which this instance is modified locally, where a local modification consists in the alteration of the weight of a single edge. More generally, for a problem U , let LM-U (local-modification-U ) denote the same problem as U , but in LM-U , we are also given an optimal solution to an instance from which the in...

We have obtained 3.3–3.4-lm spectro-images of Jupiter including CH4 and H3 emission lines from both polar regions at the Gemini North telescope. We find that the peak of the 3-lm CH4 northern bright spot is located at 200 (SysIII) longitude, 20 west of the center of the 8-lm north-polar bright spot, and does not coincide with the 3-lm H3 bright spot. We derive high temperatures (500–850 K) from...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Lean mass (LM) is an important parameter in clinical outcomes, which highlights the necessity of reliable tools for its estimation. The adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) is easily accessible and suffers minimal interference from the adjacent subcutaneous fat tissue. OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between the APMT and LM in a sample of Southern Brazilian adults....
