context maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) and alpha fetal protein (afp) were originally introduced to detect trisomy 21 and neural tube defects. however, in the absence of aneuploidy or neural tube defects, mid-trimester maternal serum hcg and/or maternal serum afp associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. pregnancies with unexplained mid-trimester elevation in maternal serum ...

A 15-yr-old male with ischemic bowel pain and mid-aortic syndrome presented for surgical correction. An aortogram revealed narrowing of the aorta (black arrow) from level celiac artery to origin inferior mesenteric artery. Whereas right renal (dotted branched off narrowed segment aorta, left kidney was supplied entirely collateral vessels axis (white arrows).Mid-aortic is responsible 0.5 2% ste...

In this paper, the notion of direct sum of branches in hks is introduced and some related properties are investigated. Applying this notion to lower hyper $BCK$-semi lattice, a necessary condition for a hi to be prime is given. Some properties of hkc are studied. It is proved that if $H$ is a hkc and $[a)$ is finite for any $ain H$, then $mid Aut(H)mid=1$.

Dengue viruses (DENVs) are the leading cause of mosquito-borne viral disease of humans. They exist in both endemic and sylvatic ecotypes. In 2014, a viremic patient who had recently visited the rainforests of Brunei returned to Australia displaying symptoms consistent with DENV infection. A unique DENV strain was subsequently isolated from the patient, which we propose belongs to a new genotype...

BACKGROUND It is generally acknowledged that back pain (BP) is a common condition already in childhood. However, the development until early adulthood is not well understood and, in particular, not the individual tracking pattern. The objectives of this paper are to show the prevalence estimates of BP, low back pain (LBP), mid back pain (MBP), neck pain (NP), and care-seeking because of BP at t...

Graphene has emerged as a promising material for infrared (IR) photodetectors and plasmonics. In this context, wafer scale epitaxial graphene on SiC is of great interest in a variety of applications in optics and nanoelectronics. Here we present IR reflectance spectroscopy of graphene grown epitaxially on the C-face of 6H-SiC over a broad optical range, from terahertz (THz) to mid-infrared (MIR...
