Introduction Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are treated with intravenous (IV) insulin by infusions with the goal of maintaining blood glucose (BG) within a narrow target range. However, as BG is measured intermittently and how the time course of BG concentration changes after altering the insulin infusion rate is unknown. We used an intra-arterial Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sy...

We find the number of partitions of n whose BG-rank is j, in terms of pp(n), the number of pairs of partitions whose total number of cells is n, giving both bijective and generating function proofs. Next we find congruences mod 5 for pp(n), and then we use these to give a new proof of a refined system of congruences for p(n) that was found by Berkovich and Garvan.

Let G be a compact Lie group and p a fixed prime number. Recall that an elementary abelian p-group is an abelian group isomorphic to (Z/p) for some r. Jackowski and McClure showed in [10] how to decompose the classifying space BG at the prime p as a homotopy colimit of spaces of the form BCG(V ), where V is a nontrivial elementary abelian p-subgroup of G and CG(V ) is the centralizer of V in G ...

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is associated with poor clinical outcomes and mortality in several patients. However, studies evaluating hyperglycemia variation in tumor patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) are scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between glycemia and tumor kinds with TPN by monitoring glycemic variation in tumor patients. METHODS This retrospe...

O(6)-Benzylguanine (BG) effectively inactivates the DNA repair protein O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase and enhances the effectiveness of alkylating agents, such as 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea and temozolomide, in vitro and in vivo. BG is presently in clinical trials with 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea and temozolomide. Preclinical data demonstrate that BG enhances the sens...

DMF (dimethyl fumarate) exerts anti-inflammatory and pro-metabolic effects in a variety of cell types, and a formulation (BG-12) is being evaluated for monotherapy in multiple sclerosis patients. DMF modifies glutathione (GSH) levels that can induce expression of the anti-inflammatory protein HO-1 (haem oxygenase-1). In primary astrocytes and C6 glioma cells, BG-12 dose-dependently suppressed n...

The terminology and notation used in this paper are introduced in the following papers: [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5]. In this paper Y is a non empty set. The following propositions are true: (1) Let a be an element of BVF(Y ), G be a subset of PARTITIONS(Y ), and A, B, C be partitions of Y . Suppose G is a coordinate and G = {A, B,C} and A 6= B and B 6= C and C 6= A. Then ¬∃∃a,AG,BG ⋐ ¬∃∃a,BG,AG...

Neocortical basal radial glia (bRG) and cerebellar Bergmann glia (BG) are basal progenitors derived from ventricular apical radial glia (aRG) that selectively lose their apical processes. bRG and BG have been implicated in the expansion and folding of the cerebrum and cerebellum, respectively. Here, we analyzed the molecular characteristics and development of bRG and BG. Transcriptomic comparis...
