In the context of QCD, an analysis is presented of a compilation of eN deep-inelastic scattering data taken at SLAC. Included are data for FFP, Fgd, F;P-Fy and R. The interaction between the logarithmic scaling violation from c1 S and the power-law scaling violation from higher-twist terms is discussed. This interaction can affect the determination of the parameter A and can alter the predictio...

Observational studies on transfusion in trauma comparing high versus low plasma:erythrocyte ratio were prone to survivor bias because plasma administration typically started later than erythrocytes. Therefore, early deaths were categorized in the low plasma:erythrocyte group, whereas early survivors had a higher chance of receiving a higher ratio. When early deaths were excluded, however, a bia...

A data warehouse system is not the kind of traditional system that is easily sized with FPA, although there have been a number of attempts in literature to do so. In one of the proposed frameworks, the assumption has been made that it would probably make more sense to do a functional size measurement in COSMIC-FFP, because of the layer concept available to the measurer. COSMIC-FFP is a fairly n...

We propose and demonstrate a tunable erbium-based fiber ring laser with power-equalized output. When a mode-restricting intracavity fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) is combined, the proposed resonator can guarantee a tunable laser oscillation. This proposed laser can obtain the flatter lasing wavelength in an effectively operating range of 1533.3 to 1574.6 nm without any other operatin...

In view of the pathogenic mechanisms of Lyell's syndrome, we consider support-only treatment to be insufficient and believe it is necessary to administer i.v. human immunoglobulin. Because of the potentially severe side effects of the high doses usually recommended, we prefer to use low doses (no more than 5 g per day) in association with the administration of fresh frozen plasma, which offers ...

When tube, and treat it as if it were a patient’s sample. modified as above, results are reported in milligrams per The precision ofthe FFP and AP’N’ systems is tabulated liter and cover the range 1.7-54.5 mg ofalbunun per liter. below: We a...

Plasma exchange was used for many years as the method of extracorporeal removal of antibodies and/or immune complexes that may be involved in the pathogenesis of renal diseases. Recently low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-apheresis and immunoadsorption were also introduced into nephrological practice. LDL-apheresis, designed originally as a rescue treatment for refractory hyperlipidaemia, appeared a...

A whole-genome phylogeny of the Escherichia coli/Shigella group was constructed by using the feature frequency profile (FFP) method. This alignment-free approach uses the frequencies of l-mer features of whole genomes to infer phylogenic distances. We present two phylogenies that accentuate different aspects of E. coli/Shigella genomic evolution: (i) one based on the compositions of all possibl...

TAMOF is a devastating microangiopathy that can occur in association with the new onset of T1DM, and should be considered with the onset of thrombocytopenia, renal failure, and raised LDH. Treatment with fresh frozen plasma should be considered as a first-line option in such cases prior to plasma exchange.

We report 2 boys with atypical (diarrhea negative) hemolytic uremic syndrome requiring dialysis, who recovered complete renal functions after receiving fresh frozen plasma infusion therapy. One patient relapsed and required second course of plasma infusion therapy. After a prolonged follow up, both showed normal renal functions with mild residual hypertension.
