Asymmetric periflexural exanthem (APE) is a distinctive exanthem, probably viral in origin. It is largely a disease of childhood and is uncommon in adults. We report an adult man presenting with the typical clinical findings of APE.

Type C RNA viruses initially isolated from a lymphosarcoma of a gibbon ape and from a fibrosarcoma of a woolly monkey are very closely related immunologically. However, recent studies have shown that these viruses are distinguishable in a radioimmunoassay for the 12,000-molecular-weight polypeptide (p12) of the woolly monkey virus. In the present report, an immunoassay has been developed for th...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) arise through normal cellular aerobic respiration, and, in combination with external sources such as ionizing radiation, cigarette tar and smoke, and particulate matter generated by combustion, can have a profound negative effect on cellular macromolecules such as DNA that may lead to a number of human pathological disorders including accelerated aging and cancer. ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a life-threatening complication after acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of CTEPH after APE in Korea and to determine echocardiographic predictors of CTEPH. METHODS Among 381 patients with APE confirmed by chest computed...

Visual experiences increase our ability to discriminate environmentally relevant stimuli (native stimuli, e.g., human faces) at the cost of a reduced sensitivity to irrelevant or infrequent stimuli (non-native stimuli, e.g., monkey/ape faces)-a developmental progression known as perceptual narrowing. One possible source of the reduced sensitivity in distinguishing non-native stimuli (e.g., one ...

Abasic (AP) sites in DNA are potentially lethal and mutagenic. 'Class II' AP endonucleases initiate the repair of these and other DNA lesions. In yeast, the predominant enzyme of this type is Apn1, and its elimination sensitizes the cells to killing by simple alkylating agents or oxidants, and raises the rate of spontaneous mutation. We investigated the ability of the major human class II AP en...

In this paper we combine two strands of machine translation (MT) research: automatic postediting (APE) and multi-engine (system combination) MT. APE systems learn a target-languageside second stage MT system from the data produced by human corrected output of a first stage MT system, to improve the output of the first stage MT in what is essentially a sequential MT system combination architectu...

Background: Apple pomace is a by-product of the fruit juice industry and comprises peel, seed, stem, pulp tissues. This contains dietary fiber, polyphenols, vitamins, organic acids that can benefit human health have high potential as source. Baked products are well-known food types to humans key role in feeding people worldwide. Nowadays, enriched such bread, cakes, biscuits available stores. D...

Automatic post-editing (APE) systems aim at correcting the output of machine translation systems to produce better quality translations, i.e. produce translations can be manually postedited with an increase in productivity. In this work, we present an APE system that uses statistical models to enhance a commercial rulebased machine translation (RBMT) system. In addition, a procedure for effortl...
