The high affinity immunoglobulin G (IgG) receptor Fc gamma RI (CD64) is expressed constitutively on monocytes and macrophages, and is inducible on neutrophils. Fc gamma RI has recently been shown to be associated with the signal transducing gamma subunit of the high-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI gamma). Induction of cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphorylation by Fc gamma RI cross-linkin...

Reference intervals (RI) play a key role in clinical interpretation of laboratory test results. Numerous articles are devoted to analyzing and discussing various methods of RI determination. The two most widely used approaches are the parametric method, which assumes data normality, and a nonparametric, rank-based procedure. The decision about which method to use is usually made arbitrarily. Th...

A 17-year-old African American male presented to the hematology clinic for treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD). He had received the diagnosis of hemoglobin (Hb) S/C disease at an outside hospital at the age of 6 years; the diagnosis was confirmed in house at 11 years of age. His disease course had been severe, with frequent pain crises of increasing intensity and 2 episodes of acute chest sy...

T cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is positively correlated with survival. Infiltration is not a stable state, but a dynamic process of homing, infiltration, retention and survival. Every step in this process is crucial for the eventual tumor reactive activity of T cells. Our laboratory has previously shown a marked upregulation of retention integrins (RI) CD49a, CD49b and ...

Background: To investigate difference in intratesticular arterial pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) between varicocele and healthy testes using power Doppler ultrasonography. Materials and Methods: Patients undergoing scrotal ultrasonography were recruited. PI and RI of the intratesticular artery were measured using a 12-MHz power Doppler ultrasound, and varicocele grades were ob...

We present several innovative techniques that can be applied in a PPRLM system for language identification (LID). To normalize the scores, eliminate the bias in the scores and improve the classifier, we compared the bias removal technique (up to 19% relative improvement (RI)) and a Gaussian classifier (up to 37% RI). Then, we include additional sources of information in different feature vector...

An optical coherence tomography (OCT) system employing a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror was used to measure the refractive index (RI) of anatomically different regions in acute brain tissue slices, in which viability was maintained. RI was measured in white-matter and grey-matter regions, including the cerebral cortex, putamen, hippocampus, thalamus and corpus callosum. The RI in t...
