TOPIC: Lung Cancer TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) was first described in 1864 as painful hands and feet American soldiers during civil war who wrapped their wounded limbs rags to ameliorate symptoms. The Budapest criteria is often used diagnose CRPS includes at least one symptom all four categories (sensory, motor/trophic, vasomot...

This year was a light year for the Smart Information Retrieval Project at SabIR Research and Cornell. We oÆcially participated in only the Ad-hoc Task and the Query Track. In the Ad-hoc Task, we made minor modi cations to our document weighting schemes to emphasize high-precision searches on shorter queries. This proved only mildly successful; the top relevant document was retrieved higher, but...

Many firms are changing the composition of their top management team (TMT) to include a Supply Chain and Operations Management Executive (SCOME). SCOMEs as part of TMTs have responsibility for all or a broad spectrum of the Supply Chain and Operations Management functions. This paper empirically examines three issues related to the appointment of SCOMEs. First, we examine the stock market react...

This paper examines the vulnerability of wireless systems to interception, and provides some simple steps that can be taken to improve security. A commercially available computational electromagnetics software package was used to predict signal levels in complex indoor and urban environments. The simulation results can be used to determine the detection range of the network. Two basic scenarios...

This work analyzes the efficiency and economic performance of different configurations of a coal-fed Integrated Gasification Fuel Cell (IGFC) plant with CO2 capture. Our analysis evaluates novel configurations, providing a detailed economic assessment for each case. The plants studied here are based on a pressurized Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) based power cycle integrated with a Shell coal gas...

To determine whether history of chronic lung disease (CLD) in children born at very low birthweight (VLBW) confers additional risk for impaired health, growth, and neurodevelopment, 17 VLBW children born in 1984 who had CLD (requiring supplemental oxygen more than 30 days after birth) in infancy and 28 VLBW children who did not have CLD were assessed at age 7 years. Assessments included a medic...

I mmunoglobulin (Ig)-mediated kidney disorders can be divided into those that result from deposition into the kidney of intact Ig molecules and those caused by components of Ig molecules—usually light chains or light chain fragments, and, less frequently, heavy chains or heavy chain fragments. In the intact Ig disorders, such as IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and anti...

We will give an overview of the WIR (Weaving Intranet Relations) system, a tool for offline computation and online retrieval of similar intranet documents. Text similarities are computed from a large collection of HTMLDocuments and represented in a similarity matrix. With a click on a "What’s Related?"-button, the user starts an intranet query for comparable documents with the full text as quer...

Background: TCZ is a monoclonal antibody against Interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) which used for relieving inflammation and reducing mortality in COVID-19 patients. Safety efficacy of Tocilizumab (TCZ) Covid-19 pneumonia uncertain yet. In this study, we aimed to determine clinical outcomes patients treated with TCZ. Objectives: study share our retrospective results had obtained from diagnosis rec...
