(ADQI) VIII consensus statements on the treatment of patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) and acute kidney injury [1]. While we appreciate the authors’ discussion, we question the hemodynamic recommen dations and suggest further areas of study (Section III in [1]). Renal perfusion relies upon cardiac output, renal blood fl ow, and autoregulation. HRS infl uences cardiac output and systemic ...

We treated a 68-year-old woman for stenosis arising from colonic diverticulosis. Two years previously, she had developed diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon, received conservative treatment, and was being carefully watched at another hospital. She began to experience irregular bowel movements and thus visited our hospital. Detailed examination showed circumferential stenosis of the colon, and p...

The presence of perivascular monocytic in®ltration is a major hallmark of HIV1-associated dementia. Since CC chemokines are chemoattractant cytokines that are able to attract T cells and monocytes/macrophages to sites of in ̄ammation, and since in®ltrating monocytes/macrophages remain in close contact with the brain endothelium, we investigated whether interactions between HIV-1-infected macroph...

Set constraints are inclusion relations between sets of ground terms over a ranked alphabet They have been used extensively in pro gram analysis and type inference Here we present an equational axiom atization of the algebra of set constraints Models of these axioms are called termset algebras They are related to the Boolean algebras with operators of J onsson and Tarski We also de ne a family ...

Let G be a (real or complex) semisimple Lie group, whose Lie algebra g is endowed with a so called jkj{grading, i.e. a grading of the form g = g ?k g k , such that no simple factor of G is of type A 1. Let P be the subgroup corresponding to the subalgebra p = g 0 g k. The aim of this paper is to clarify the geometrical meaning of Cartan connections corresponding to the pair (G; P) and to study ...

improved the prognosis of IA patients. However, the high mortality, the increasing incidence of systemic fungal infections and rising medical costs have made prevention of fungal spore exposure by environmental protection a crucial challenge [2]. Guidelines from the National Agency for Health Accreditation and Evaluation (Agence Nationale d ’ Accr é ditation et d ’ Evaluation en Sant é [ANAES])...

We construct Quillen type spectral sequences in homology and rational homotopy for coobration sequences which are Eckmann-Hilton dual to analogous ones for bration sequences. These spectral sequences are constructed by direct ltrations of the Adams cobar construction. We also prove various collapsing theorems generalizing results of Clark and Smith in the case of a wedge of 1-connected nicely p...

1 of 1 DESCRIPTION Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease which predominantly affects young females and is commonly found in association with tuberous sclerosis. 1 The clinical features result from progressive cystic destruction of the lungs and the accumulation of LAM cells within the lungs and axial lymphatics. 2 The gold standard for the diagnosis of LAM is a tissue biopsy which sh...

The problem of nding adapted solutions to systems of coupled linear forward-backward stochastic dierential equations (FBSDEs, for short) is investigated. A necessary condition of solvability leads to a reduction of general linear FBSDEs to a special one. By some ideas from controllability in control theory, using some functional analysis, we obtain a necessary and sucient condition for the solv...
