It is a well-known and remarkable fact that in certain coincidence photon-counting experiments with cwpumped parametric down-converters, the effects of group-velocity dispersion arising from media interposed between source and detectors are completely canceled, even if the media physically affect only one of the photons of the pair. Recently Perina et al. @Phys. Rev. A 59, 2359 ~1999!# showed t...

OBJECTIVE Current evidence suggests the CD40-CD40L pathway as a key process in the development, progression, and outcome of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim was to investigate the prognostic importance of soluble (s) CD40L levels, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the CD40LG gene, and the relation between sCD40L and SNPs in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). METHODS AN...

Abstract Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD). There are limited data evaluating association subclinical CVD measured by cardiac computed tomography (CT). We hypothesized there would be significant between high OSA risk and atherosclerotic plaque, coronary stenosis, artery calcium (CAC) score in Miami Heart Study cohort free of CVD....

Background Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis (CE AE) are neglected tropical diseases caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato E . multilocularis , emerging zoonoses in Kyrgyzstan. In this country, the spatial distribution of CE AE surgical incidence 2014-2016 showed marked heterogeneity across communities, suggesting presence ecological determinants underlying distributions. Methodology/Pr...

Host-pathogen interactions are the result of continuously evolving dynamics genomic interphases between pathogens and host plants. Alternaria brown spot (ABS) caused by pathogen alternata is a serious threat to tangerine production. Although recent studies have made significant advances in characterization A. virulence factors, gap exists regulation virulent genes throughout course infection on...

The supply of ecosystem services and the benefits that peri-urban areas provide to society are increasingly being modeled studied using various ecological, environmental, social, economic approaches. Nevertheless, different types levels demand, preferences, or values for human beneficiaries have, often require information econometric methods account awareness knowledge spatial underpinnings beh...

OBJECTIVE This study examines the relationship between tea consumption and colon cancer risk in the US population. DESIGN Data from the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up study (NHEFS) were used to examine the hypothesis. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the hypothesis of a protective effect of frequent tea consumption on colon cancer occurrence. SETTING Due to differences ...
