RASopathies are developmental disorders caused by germline mutations in the Ras-MAPK pathway, and are characterized by a broad spectrum of functional and morphological abnormalities. The high incidence of these disorders (∼1/1000 births) motivates the development of systematic approaches for theirefficient diagnosis and potential treatment. Recent advances in genome sequencing have greatly faci...

A vascular external support for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation (VasQ, Laminate Medical, Tel Aviv, Israel) has improved functional success in multiple European studies. Herein is the first complete report of U.S. Pivotal Comparative Study results with a cost analysis presented VasQ over 24-month period. The study prospectively enrolled 144 patients (90% brachiocephalic and 10% radiocephali...

The pionic width of the !(782) meson within a well-deened, unitary quantum eld theory of (anti-)particles and (anti-)holes Abstract We investigate the indirect generation of the partial width of the !(782) meson with respect to the reaction !(782) ! (770) ! + ? 0 within the context of a \Unitary Effective Resonance Model" (UERM), which has previously been applied to resonant fermionic eld opera...

Many pion decays of ρ(770) and ω(782) mesons in chiral theory. Abstract The many particle decays ρ(770) → 4π and ω(782) → 5π are considered in detail in the approach based on the Weinberg Lagrangian or, in a new language, the Lagrangian of hidden local symmetry added with the term induced by the anomalous Lagrangian of Wess and Zumino.

In this paper, some evidence, exper imental or clinical, is presented on the fol lowing subjects : ( I ) The infectious power of a living, sensitized vaccine; (2 ) the absence of immuni ty in vaccinated rabbits to direct gall bladder infect ions; (3 ) the relative pathogenicity, virulence, and toxic i ty of the strain used in the A r m y vaccine; (4 ) local vaccine reactions a f te r typhoid fe...

Laparoscopic hernia operations have been criticized in regard to their high hospital costs. This study was designed to compare the costs and some outcome features of totally extraperitoneal endoscopic hernia operation (TEP) and Lichtenstein mesh repair (OPN) among 45 randomized employed patients. The medians of operative time in the TEP and OPN groups were 67.5 and 53 min, respectively. Return ...
