We report the emergence of genomic self-similarity with respect to fitness in a Genetic Algorithm representation with no selective pressure for any particular genomic ordering.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a histological type of epithelial ovarian cancer that is less responsive to chemotherapy and associated with a poorer prognosis than serous and endometrioid carcinoma. Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma which produces reactive species has recently led to an explosion of research in plasma medicine. Plasma treatment can be applied to cancer treatment to...

Fig. 2 Significant Renal Artery Stenosis Selective DSA demonstrates a significant renal artery stenosis (A, TSPG = 48mmHg. Streamlines discontinue at the stenosis indicating a significant luminal narrowing (B). Please note flow signal distal to the stenosis indicating high degree stenosis but excluding occlusion. Non-invasive Assessment of Transstenotic Pressure Gradients Utilizing 3D Phase Con...

Children with selective mutism (SM) display a failure to speak in select situations despite speaking when comfortable. The purpose of this study was to obtain valid assessments of receptive and expressive language in 33 children (ages 5 to 12) with SM. Because some children with SM will speak to parents but not a professional, another purpose was to explore the efficacy of employing parents to ...

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) was discovered more than 60 years ago as a substance isolated from blood. The neural effects of 5-HT have been well investigated and understood, thanks in part to the pharmacological tools available to dissect the serotonergic system and the development of the frequently prescribed selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors. By contrast, our understanding of t...
