UNLABELLED Intracapsular hip fractures in young adults have a significant risk of complications. Consequently, some authors advocate urgent and/or open fracture reduction. Our aim was to analyse outcomes following such fractures with reference to influence of fracture displacement, timing of surgery and method of reduction (open/closed) on the incidence of non-union (NU) and avascular necrosis ...

The present study tested the moderating role of negative urgency (NU), a personality trait characterized by a tendency to act impulsively in the face of emotional distress, on the associations between dietary restraint, affect, and calorie intake following a mood manipulation. Undergraduate women reported levels of NU and dietary restraint and underwent a failure task intended to induce a negat...

T cells have been implicated in the early pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of kidney, liver, lung, and brain. It is not known whether Ag-TCR engagement followed by Ag-specific T cell activation participates in IRI. T cell-deficient nu/nu mice are moderately resistant to renal IRI, which can be reversed upon reconstitution with syngeneic T cells. In this study, we found that nu/...

Loco-regional invasion of head and neck cancer is linked to metastatic risk and presents a difficult challenge in designing and implementing patient management strategies. Orthotopic mouse models of oral cancer have been developed to facilitate the study of factors that impact invasion and serve as model system for evaluating anti-tumor therapeutics. In these systems, visualization of dissemina...

The continuous Gaussian ensemble, also known as the nu -Gaussian or nu -Hermite ensemble, is a natural extension of the classical Gaussian ensembles of real (nu=1) , complex (nu=2) , or quaternion (nu=4) matrices, where nu is allowed to take any positive value. From a physical point of view, this ensemble may be useful to describe transitions between different symmetries or to describe the terr...

The extent and diversity of T cell differentiation in nude athymic mice are matters of dispute. In this study, we examined the splenic T cell population of pathogen-free and germ-free nu/nu mice, treated or not treated with the pentapeptide analogue of thymopoietin (TP-5), in terms of TL, Qa-1, and Lyt phenotypes. At all ages, 50-60% of nu/nu splenocytes, enriched for T lymphocytes by removal o...
