BACKGROUND Antioxidant enrichment of LDL can increase its resistance to oxidation and hence reduce its atherogenicity. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether in vivo supplementation with nonalcoholic red wine extract and quercetin can increase the oxidative resistance of LDL, and also whether the supplementation has any effect on other antioxidative micronutrients present...

Abstract — Input queueing is becoming increasingly important for high-bandwidth switches and routers. In previous work, we proved that it is possible to achieve 100% throughput for input-queued switches using a cell-by-cell scheduling algorithm called LQF. However, LQF is too complex to implement in hardware. In this paper we introduce a new algorithm called Longest Port First (LPF), which is d...

Figure 1. Hematoxylin and eosin stain demonstrates a well-circumscribed dermal nodule (arrow) composed of mixed solid cellular proliferation including microcysts, ducts, and areas of myxoid stroma.

BACKGROUND Green stain is an uncommon clinical condition associated with deposition of bilirubin in the dental hard tissues. The staining of the teeth is due to hyperbilirubinemia caused by systemic conditions. CASE REPORT The purpose of this report is to present a case of green teeth of the primary dentition in a 17-month old girl associated with hydrocephalus and Hirschprung's disease. CO...

We describe a phase-resolved functional optical coherence tomography system that can simultaneously yieldin situ images of tissue structure, blood flow velocity, standard deviation, birefringence, and the Stokes vectors in human skin. Multifunctional images were obtained by processing of analytical interference fringe signals derived from two perpendicular polarization-detection channels. The b...
