The study was carried out in a pedigree herd of 8 boars and 207 sows of the Polish Landrace breed. The polymorphism of the ESR gene was found by means of the PCR-RFLP method. The amplification resulted in a product of 120 base pairs. The product was then digested with the PvuII restriction enzyme. The two alleles of the ESR gene were identified – ESRA allele – 120 bp, ESRB – 65 and 55 bp. The f...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are associated with oxidative stress-mediated alterations under pathophysiological conditions, and particularly brain ischemia, brain tumor, and neurodegenerative diseases. Electron spin resonance (ESR) is recognized as one of the most powerful techniques available for the detection of ROS in tissues and cells. We previously developed an in vitro ESR-based techniqu...

We study the feasibility of execution autonomy in systems with asynchronous transaction processing based on epsilon-serializability (ESR). The abstract correctness criteria deened by ESR are implemented by techniques such as asynchronous divergence control and asynchronous consistency restoration. Concrete application examples in a distributed environment, such as banking, are described in orde...

2014 Previous ESR results from YBa2Cu3O7 powders are contradictory. We present results on YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals, obtained through systematic intensity measurements, a comparison of X and Q-band spectra, a comparison with the spectra from other related Y/Ba/Cu oxides, and a study of the influence of grinding the crystals. The ESR of conduction electrons was not detected. Although anisotropic...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the possibility of discontinuing adalimumab (ADA) for 1 year without flaring (DAS28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ≥3.2), and to identify factors enabling established patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to remain ADA-free. METHODS Of 197 RA patients treated with ADA+methotrexate (MTX), 75 patients who met the ADA-free criteria (steroid-free and sustained DA...

Very strong magnetic fields are needed to study magnetic resonances that are broadened by impurities, lattice deformation or other interactions such as the exchange energy in antiferromagnets. Certain phenomena that can be studied by means of magnetic resonances will occur only at very high magnetic fields, such as magnetic field induced phase transitions in the crystal lattice or in the arrang...

With recent developments of teleradiology technology and services, it has become necessary to better evaluate its extent and use among different countries in Europe. With this goal in mind, the ESR launched two specific surveys intended to gather the current state of adoption and implementation of teleradiology in clinical practice. A special focus on differentiating between insourcing teleradi...

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is used to differentiate temporal arteritis from other forms of headache in the elderly. Though temporal arteritis can occur with a normal ESR, this is not generally appreciated in primary care. The case reported here is a 74-year-old woman with biopsy-proven temporal arteritis; her ESR was 22 mm/hr. Of note, her hematocrit was more than 40 percent, a co...
