The systemic administration of high dose recombinant interleukin 2 (RIL-2) can mediate significant reductions in the number of hepatic métastases in a murine system. This effect is sensitive to host irradiation. Both large granular (LGLs) and small (SLs) lymphocytes have been implicated as the cells mediating the antitumor effect. Utilizing selective Percoli fractionation of liver nonparenchym...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations of scores on the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the Single Leg Stance (SLS) test with stability scores on the Biodex Balance System (BBS) in healthy adults. METHOD The postural balance of 73 participants was measured on the TUG and SLS tests and with the Overall Stability Index (OSI) on the BBS. The participants were divided into groups by age and by ...

InAs/GaSb type-II strained-layer superlattice (SLS) photovoltaic infrared (IR) detectors are currently of great interest for midand long-wave IR detection. A novel technique of reducing detector dark current by inserting resonant tunnelling barriers into a conventional InAs/GaSb SLS is investigated. The GaSb/InAs/GaSb resonant tunnelling double barrier heterostructure was designed to be periodi...

I give special thanks to Dr Paul Wetter and Janis Chinnock who, beginning in 1988, opened their home and their lives to the foundation of a society that would provide information and education in the field of laparoscopic, endoscopic, and minimally invasive surgery and that would recognize individuals who made an outstanding contribution to that field. That the society exists is a tribute to th...

has indeed been a great pleasure and an honor to have the opportunity to serve as your president during this last year, a special one, I think, as it takes us to the year 2000. As I began my research for this address, I came across this quote from Jacques Perissat, one of the leaders in minimally invasive surgery in Europe, who wrote in the World Journal of Surgery, " For a surgeon who performe...

Summary: Low frequency ultrasound in combination with Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), a known transdermal chemical enhancer has been found to enhance delivery of molecules through the skin. In this abstract, we report the effects of changing SLS concentration on cavitation, protein permeation through the skin and skin damage. Introduction: Low-frequency ultrasound (US), applied to skin via a liqu...

DOI: 10.1002/aelm.201600170 character.[1–4] The imposed 2D constraint between the interfaces has been exploited in perovskites to induce ferroelectricity,[5–7] enhance electromechanical and dielectric performance,[8–11] and even influence ferroic phase transitions and domain structures.[12–17] In the same vein, we recently demonstrated successful interface control of a morphotropic phase bounda...

Shrinking lung syndrome (SLS) is an uncommon feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) characterized by dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, diaphragmatic elevation, restrictive ventilatory defect and reduced respiratory muscle strength as measured by volitional tests. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with overlapping features of SLE and Sjögren syndrome who developed severe SLS while re...

As the latest extension of MPEG-4 Audio coding, MPEG-4 Lossless Audio Coding includes a scalable audio coding solution (SLS) that integrates the functionalities of lossless audio coding, perceptual audio coding, and fine granular scalable audio coding into a single coder framework while providing backward compatibility to MPEG Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) at the bit-stream level. Despite its abu...
