The continuing shortage of kidneys for transplantation requires major efforts to expand the donor pool. Donation after cardiac death (DCD) increases the number of available kidneys, but it is unknown whether patients who receive a DCD kidney live longer than patients who remain on dialysis and wait for a conventional kidney from a brain-dead donor (DBD). This observational cohort study included...

67B, 84 (1977). A similar picture was independently suggested by N. N. Nikolaev and S. Pokorski, Phys. Lett. 80B, 290 (1979); N. N. Nikolaev and A. Ya. Ostapchuck, CERN Report No. TH-2575, 1978 (to be published). However, their model rests heavily on details of a specific quark recombination model, it is not applicable to lepton production, and their predictions involve a free choice of functio...

Background and Purpose—Carotid endarterectomy is an effective method for preventing strokes if patients do not suffer adverse perioperative outcomes. The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative patient risk factors for adverse outcomes (death or nonfatal stroke) after carotid endarterectomy through the use of a large population-based registry from Ontario, Canada. Methods—Medical rec...

Using the Green Bank Telescope, we have conducted a survey for 1.3 cm water maser emission toward the nuclei of nearby active galaxies, the most sensitive large survey for H2O masers to date. Among 145 galaxies observed, maser emission was newly detected in eleven sources and confirmed in one other. Our survey targeted nearby (v < 12,000 km s), mainly type 2 AGNs north of δ = –20, and includes ...

Background and Purpose—Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is mostly a disease of the elderly, but most current experimental ICH models have used young animals. Age is an important factor in other forms of brain injury, affecting microglia and astrocyte reactions and plasticity. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of aging on brain injury after ICH. Methods—Young and aged (3 and 18...

First principles calculations based on density functional theory, both with the local density approximation (LDA) and with generalised gradient corrections (GGA), and the projector augmented wave method, have been used to simulate solid and liquid MgO in direct coexistence in the range of pressure 0 ≤ p ≤ 135 GPa. The calculated LDA zero pressure melting temperature is T m = 3110 ± 50 K, in goo...
