BACKGROUND Previous trials have demonstrated that lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below currently recommended levels is beneficial in patients with acute coronary syndromes. We prospectively assessed the efficacy and safety of lowering LDL cholesterol levels below 100 mg per deciliter (2.6 mmol per liter) in patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS ...

Ascitic fluid concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids, were compared with ascitic fluid total protein in 40 patients with chronic liver disease, 51 patients with various neoplasms and 1 patient with cardiac failure. Seven patients with both chronic liver disease and malignancy were considered separately. The first 54 patients (23 cirrhotic and 31 with malignancy) were use...

The effect of nutrients of natural source, such as corn steep liquor, peptone, and yeast extract, on the fermentative production of L-glutamic acid from hydrocarbons by a Corynebacterium was studied. Corn steep liquor and meat extract were found to be remarkably stimulatory to L-glutamic acid production; about 5 g per liter of L-glutamic acid were accumulated in a culture broth containing 3% n-...

We introduce relational grams (r-grams). They upgrade n-grams for modeling relational sequences of atoms. As n-grams, r-grams are based on smoothed n-th order Markov chains. Smoothed distributions can be obtained by decreasing the order of the Markov chain as well as by relational generalization of the r-gram. To avoid sampling object identifiers in sequences, r-grams are generative models at t...

Pollution has heavy impact on countries ' economies, through its crop production. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pollution by breakers gravel dust (city Sebha-Libya) germination and growth seedlings beans Phaseolus vulgaris Cowpea Vigna unguiculata. Where field poll found that number crushers in city reached 12 crusher scattered randomly around city, there are relatively at ...

To the Editor: Beardsall et al. (Oct. 30 issue)1 report the results of the Neonatal Insulin Replacement Therapy in Europe (NIRTURE) trial, which investigated the effects of a fixed-dose insulin (0.05 U per kilogram of body weight per hour) and glucose (20% dextrose) infusion as compared with usual care in very-low-birth-weight infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (ICU). Beardsall and col...

the present study evaluated the effects of different dosages herbicides oxyfluorfen and trifluralin on crop properties of garlic, including plant height, number of cloves per bulbs as well as economical and biological yield of garlic. in this research, a randomized complete block design, with seven treatments and three replications, along with a control sample (weeding and no weed control), was...

The recent availability of large collections of text such as the Google 1T 5-gram corpus (Brants and Franz, 2006) and the Gigaword corpus of newswire (Graff, 2003) have made it possible to build language models that incorporate counts of billions of n-grams. This paper proposes two new methods of efficiently storing large language models that allow O(1) random access and use significantly less ...

CONTEXT The American Heart Association Nutrition Committee recommends women and men consume no more than 100 and 150 kcal of added sugar per day, respectively, whereas the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, suggests a maximal added sugar intake of 25% or less of total energy. OBJECTIVE To address this discrepancy, we compared the effects of consuming glucose, fructose, or high-fructose c...
