After the daily administration of methyltestosterone to normal human subjects for several weeks, creatine usually appears in the urine in gradually increasing amounts (1,2). Because the creatinuria so induced is associated with an increase in the concentration of serum creatine, and also because the amount of urinary creatinine increases, it has been generally assumed that the synthesis of crea...

Most companies focus on matching and beating their rivals. As a result, their strategies tend to take on similar dimensions. What ensues is head-to-head competition based largely on incremental improvements in cost, quality, or both. The authors have studied how innovative companies break free from the competitive pack by staking out fundamentally new market space--that is, by creating products...

We use computer simulations to study the onset of collective motion in systems of interacting active particles. Our model is a swarm of active Brownian particles with an internal energy depot and interactions inspired by the dissipative particle dynamics method, imposing pairwise friction force on the nearest neighbors. We study orientational ordering in a 2D system as a function of energy infl...

One of the premier technological programs in the Air Force today is the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) system. This major program currently being fielded for our tactical forces represents advanced electronics technology not only in the weapon system itself but also in its sup-

On the 2nd of July, 1881, as President Garfield was entering the depot at Washington, leaning on the arm of Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State, Guiteau, who had been lounging about the depot waiting for his victim, got behind him, and fired two bullets into the President's back ; the wound proved mortal, the President dying on September 19th, 1881. From the day on which Gruiteau shot the President ...

The North Shore Mosquito Abatement District applies extended release larvicides including methoprene-based Altosid® XR Extended Residual Briquets to approximately 40,000 catch basins in the southern half of the District's operational area at the beginning of each season. Treatments begin in May and typically again 9 to 10 wk later when larvicide efficacy appears to wane. In 2013 spinosad-based ...

An extended-release formulation of nevirapine (NVP-XR) has been developed with the aim of simplifying antiretroviral treatment regimens and improving patients' adherence with a single daily intake. The VERxVE and TRANxITION clinical trials have demonstrated the noninferiority of NVP-XR compared with nevirapine immediate-release (NVP-IR) on viral load after 24 and 48 months of treatment. The tol...

We described the first case reported in literature of anaphylactic shock after administration of pollen extract vaccine chemically modified (allergoid) adsorbed onto L-Tyrosine depot adjuvanted with monophosphoryl lipid A (Pollinex® Quattro MPL-4).

The proper selection of a wheelchair requires making several critical decisions, not the least of which is what type of wheelchair is appropriate. The International Organization for Standards (ISO) continues to develop and refine wheelchair standards. Standards allow the objective comparison of products from various sources, permitting consumers or clinicians to assess wheelchairs with which th...

Contemporary psychiatry uses a variety of complementary approaches which enrich one another. In this paper, we describe the development of a brief psychodynamic approach for hospitalized patients with major depression, as well as the recent commercialization of an atypical neuroleptic depot medication. In addition, we discuss electro-convulsotherapy which, despite it has been widely and underst...
