BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Symptomatic basilar artery stenosis (BAS) is associated with high risk of ischemic stroke recurrence. We aimed to investigate whether statin therapy might prevent the progression of symptomatic BAS and stroke recurrence. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with acute ischemia with symptomatic BAS, which was assessed using magnetic resonance angiog...

There is considerable interest in Gray's reinforcement sensitivity theory. However, few measures of the behavioral approach (BAS) and inhibition systems (BIS) exist for children. Moreover, the theory was substantially revised a decade ago and measurement instruments are still largely based on the old theory. Our aim was to revise questionnaire and laboratory assessments of BIS and BAS for child...

Building automation systems (BAS) are typically used to monitor and control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, manage building facilities (e.g., lighting, safety, and security), and automate meter reading. In recent years, the technology of wireless sensor network (WSN) has been attracting extensive research and development efforts to replace the traditional wired soluti...

This study demonstrates that corn can be partially safened by BAS-145138 against sulfonyl­ urea and imidazolinone herbicides. The corn seeds were impregnated with BAS-145138 by soaking the seeds for 6 h in solutions o f the safener. BAS-145138 had no effect on corn growth. However, corn shoot and root growth in length, fresh weight, and dry weight was partially protected by BAS-145138 from the ...

BACKGROUND De novo use of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors after kidney transplantation is associated with a concentration-dependent incidence of wound healing adverse events (WHAE). The objective of this analysis was to compare the incidence of WHAE in patients receiving everolimus (EVR) or mycophenolate sodium (MPS). METHODS This was a predefined subanalysis of a single-center prosp...

Heshouwu (HSW), the dry roots of Polygonum multiflorum, a classical traditional Chinese medicine is used as a tonic for a wide range of conditions, particularly those associated with aging. However, it tends to be taken overdose or long term in these years, which has resulted in liver damage reported in many countries. In this study, the indicative roles of nine bile acids (BAs) were evaluated ...

The enterohepatic recirculation of bile acids (BAs) is important in several physiological processes. Although there has been considerable research on liver regeneration after two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PHx), little is known about how the liver protects itself against BA toxicity during regeneration. In this study, various BAs in plasma and liver, the composition of micelle-forming bile con...

Le langage logique est celui de la logique du second ordre, avec des symboles de fonctions et des variables et constantes de prédicat sur les individus. Les seuls symboles logiques sont →,∀. Définitions. ⊥≡∀X X ; ¬A ≡ A →⊥ ; A∧B ≡¬(A,B →⊥) ; A∨B ≡¬A,¬B →⊥ ; ∃x A ≡¬∀x¬A ; ∃X A ≡¬∀X¬A ; t = u ≡∀X (X t → X u). On écrira A1, A2, . . . , Ak → A pour A1 → (A2 → (. . . (Ak → A) . . .)). On écrira ∃x{A...
