INTRODUCTION Preliminary data suggested that non-invasive methods could be useful to assess presence of oesophageal varices (OV) in liver cirrhosis. The primary objectives were to investigate non-invasive markers for diagnosing and grading OV in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included a total of 106 consecutive treatment-naive patients with primary bi...

One of the key problems training a new type specialist is problem forming appropriate inclusive competencies among students pedagogical colleges. The article deals with scientific and bases future specialists in conditions dual education. work based on idea that introduction elements system teaching specialties will contribute to qualitative development student's general specialty, as well acqu...

Circadian rhythms in mammals are regulated not only globally by the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), but also locally by widely distributed populations of clock cells in the brain and periphery that control tissue-specific rhythmic outputs. Here we show that the oval nucleus of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST-OV) exhibits a robust circadian rhythm in expression o...

Background: Cancer antigen CA125 is known as a valuable marker for the management of ovarian cancer. Methods: The analytical and clinical performance of the Access OV Monitor Immunoassay System (Beckman Coulter) was evaluated at five different European sites and compared with a reference system, defined as CA125 on the Elecsys System (Roche Diagnostics). Results: Total imprecision (%CV) of the ...

Possibility theory offers either a qualitative, or a numerical framework for representing uncertainty, in terms of dual measures of pos­ sibility and necessity. This leads to the ex­ istence of two kinds of possibilistic causal graphs where the conditioning is either based on the minimum, or on the product opera­ tor. Benferhat et al. [3] have investigated the connections between min-based grap...

Recently orthonormal Wilson bases with good time–frequency localization have been constructed by Daubechies, Jaffard, and Journé. We extend this construction to Wilson sets and frames with arbitrary oversampling (or redundancy). We state conditions under which dual Weyl–Heisenberg (WH) sets induce dual Wilson sets, and we formulate duality conditions in the time domain and frequency domain. We ...

The berization of a ne systems via dual Gramian techniques, that was developed in previous papers of the authors, is applied here for the study of a ne frames which have an a ne dual system. Gramian techniques are also used to verify whether a dual pair of a ne frames is a also a pair of bi-orthogonal Riesz bases. A general method for a painless derivation of a dual pair of a ne frames from an ...
