Acne vulgaris is a very common disease of the pilosebaceous unit of the human skin. The pathological processes of acne are not fully understood. To gain further insight sebaceous follicular casts were extracted from 18 healthy and 20 acne-affected individuals by cyanoacrylate-gel biopsies and further processed for mass spectrometry analysis, aiming at a proteomic analysis of the sebaceous folli...

Technical advances in 3D morphometrics and other forms of digital analysis allow for detailed measurements dental metrics yet, consistently, anthropologists show a publishing preference using calipers. It is possible that this reflects the often complex field settings, wide global distribution sample collections, or simple fact calipers are relatively low maintenance cost technology. Similarly,...

The paper presents an intermediate language which is intended to serve as a target analyzable language for verification of real-world production GNU C programs (Linux kernel modules). The language represents an extension of the existing intermediate language used by the JESSIE plugin for the FRAMA-C static analysis framework. It is compatible with the C semantics of arrays, initially supports h...

Background: Asthma is recognized as a common cause of disability, of great economic cost, and of preventable deaths. In this study we aimed to test our hypothesis to evaluate the relationship between the Human Platelet Antigen-1(HPA-1) polymorphism and bronchial asthma and its severity, which would suggest genetic variances that may be responsible for expression or activation of these receptors...

background numerous factors have an effect on the accuracy of an impression and resultant cast, and these include: impression material, impression technique, tray selection, impression disinfection, storage time of impression before pouring, stone type used for fabrication of cast. up to now, there has been little research conducted on the effect of contact time of a cast with an impression, on...
