Let AH be the real linear space of all Hermitian elements in A . Now AH = A+−A+; in a natural way AH is an ordered topological vector space with positive cone A+ (see [3], [6], [8]). The cone of all positive linear forms on AH will be denoted by P . Restriction of a positive linear form on A to AH gives an element ∗Work done as a student at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). Receive...

AIM Adenoidal hypertrophy (AH) in children is associated with obstructive manifestations like mouth breathing, snoring. Unfortunately, little is known regarding sleep architecture of AH in children. The purpose of this study was therefore undertaken to investigate the polysomnographic variables in children with AH. METHOD 47 children with AH and 11 controls underwent nocturnal polysomnography...

The clinical presentation of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) can be mimicked by other alcoholic liver diseases. The aim of this study was to identify clinical features that predict AH on liver biopsy. Biopsies from patients hospitalized for presumed severe AH were used to identify a derivation cohort (101 patients) and validation cohort (71 patients). Using histologic scores for hepatocyte ballooning,...

OBJECTIVE The recent nonlinear analyses of electroencephalogram (EEG) data have shown that the correlation dimension (D2) reflects the degree of integration of information processing in the brain. There is now considerable evidence that auditory hallucination (AH) reflects dysfunctional gamma and beta frequency oscillations. Gamma oscillations are thought to reflect internally driven representa...

BACKGROUND Little is known about allied health (AH) clinical practice guideline (CPG) activity in South Africa, and particularly in relation to primary health care (PHC). This paper reports on a scoping study undertaken to establish a reference framework, from which a comprehensive maximum variation sample could be selected. This was required to underpin robust sampling for a qualitative study ...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of physical form of starter and alfalfa hay (AH) provision on growth performance, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolites of Holstein dairy calves. Forty-four 3d-old Holstein dairy calves with a mean starting BW of 39.9 ± 1.1 kg were used in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. The factors were dietary forage level (0 or 150 g kg-1</sup...

The kinetics of the reactions of antihemagglutinin (AH) and antineuraminidase (AN) antibodies with homologous influenza virus were examined by use of a photometric hemagglutination inhibition test (antibody concentration unit [ACU] test). The following results were obtained. (i) The isotherms describing the reaction of AN antibodies with homologous virus were found to have much steeper slopes t...

Patients with alien hand (AH) syndrome from medial frontal lesions exhibit involuntary but seemingly purposeful contralesional upper limb movements. Two observations about AH patients have received little, if any, experimental confirmation. The first is that AH is triggered opportunistically by nearby objects. The second is that AH behaviors are increased in conditions of fatigue or anxiety, i....

OBJECTIVE Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) expresses a Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 activity and hydrolyzes platelet-activating factor as well as oxidized phospholipids. Two major types of PAF-AH have been described: the plasma type, which is associated with lipoproteins, and the intracellular type II PAF-AH. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the type(s) of PAF-AH ex...
