Butyrylcholinesterase is an enzyme with few known physiological functions. It is related to acetylcholine that was shown to be expressed in a variety of life forms. We performed a search using the human butyrylcholinesterase gene (HGNC:983;MIM:177400), and found the sequence in a broad spectrum including plants, bacteria and animals. Therefore butyrylcholinesterase appears to have evolved early...

Results: There were over 77 million estimated hospital admissions in the period evaluated, of which 271 983 were associated with dysphagia. Dysphagia was most commonly associated with fluid or electrolyte disorder, esophageal disease, stroke, aspiration pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and congestive heart failure. The median number of hospitalization days for all patients with dysphagia was...

A dynamic MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol demonstrator for ATM PON (Passive Optical Network) was realised and tested. The prototype is based on a SuperPON transport system, which allows implementing downstream grants per ONT (Optical Network Termination) or subdivided per T-Cont class (Transfer Container) and upstream requests by piggybacking or dedicated polling slots. The demonstrator pl...
