BACKGROUND The role of selected macronutrients, fatty acids and cholesterol in the etiology of prostate cancer was analyzed using data from a case-control study carried out in five Italian areas between 1991 and 2002. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cases were 1294 men with incident, histologically confirmed prostate cancer, and admitted to the major teaching and general hospitals of study areas. Contro...

Measurements of the back scattering by bluntly-truncated tilted cylindrical shells in water reveal a dependence on the aspect angle which can be interpreted using geometrically described coupling mechanisms [S.F. Morse, P.L. Marston, and G. Kaduchak, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 103, 785-794 (1998)]. By exciting a shell with a suitable acoustic pulse localized in time, the recorded backscattering respon...

Physiol. 2og(6): 1287-1294. rg65.-Epinephrine and norepinephrine contents of tissues and perfusates have been measured by fluorimetric methods to ascertain which catecholamine is the sympathetic transmitter in bullfrogs and turtles. Except for adrenal and sympathetic chain, the pred...

Equilibrium existence results are presented for competitive markets with externalities in price and consumption and a measure space of agents. These unify and extend [Balder, E.J., 2003. Existence of competitive equilibria in economies with a measure space of consumers and consumption externalities.

BACKGROUND The clinical efficacy of furosemide administration in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) remains uncertain. This meta-analysis was designed to update data on the incidence of CIN with additional furosemide treatment beyond saline hydration in comparison with hydration alone in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MATERIAL/METHODS A computerized l...

It has been suggested that dual-cycle models of identity formation do not fit well with Erikson’s theory and the status paradigm due to 1) contradictory statuses, 2) problems discerning past exploration 3) ambiguity or limitations life domains covered. The present study extended Dimensions for Identity Development Scale (DIDS) three additional dimensions previously, examined profiles their tran...
