Compared with burr hole craniostomy (BHC), twist drill craniostomy (TDC) is increasingly popular because of its minimal invasiveness in evacuating chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). However, the TDC technique varies and is continually developing; moreover, no consensus yet exists regarding the optimal protocol, and the efficacy and safety of TDC is still controversial, especially with respect to...

December 21, 2016 Type Package Title Bayesian Hierarchical Clustering Version 1.26.0 Date 2011-09-07 Author Rich Savage, Emma Cooke, Robert Darkins, Yang Xu Maintainer Rich Savage Description The method performs bottom-up hierarchical clustering, using a Dirichlet Process (infinite mixture) to model uncertainty in the data and Bayesian model selection to decide at eac...

AIM This study aims to compare clinical outcomes in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) following twist drill craniostomy (TDC) or burr hole craniostomy (BHC). MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted in the patients who suffered from symptomatic CSDH and received surgical treatment in our department from Jan 2011 to Dec 2013. Each patient was followed 3 months...

The characterist ics of liver tumors in mice induced by the o~ isomer of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (~x-BHC), were studied with emphasis on their reversibil i ty or irreversibility. Male 8-week-old DDY mice were fed basal diet supplemented w i th 500 ppm of e-BHC for 16, 20, 24, and 36 weeks and then were fed basal diet wi thout (x-BHC for 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, or 36 weeks. At various interv...

We describe the use of a binary hierarchical clustering (BHC) framework for clustering of gene expression data. The BHC algorithm involves two major steps. Firstly, the K-means algorithm is used to split the data into two classes. Secondly, the Fisher criterion is applied to the classes to assess whether the splitting is acceptable. The algorithm is applied to the sub-classes recursively and en...

Persistent organochlorines such as ΣDDT, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), heptachlor and endosulfan were determined in water and sediment samples of freshwater systems in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa that receive runoff from agricultural lands and effluents from industries. The organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in water and sediments were determined by liquid/liquid extraction an...

The recombinant Hc proteins of botulinum neurotoxins and tetanus toxin are exclusively produced by intracellular heterologous expression in Pichia pastoris for use in subunit vaccines; the same Hc proteins produced by secreted heterologous expression are hyper-glycosylated and immunologically inert. Here, several different recombinant secreted Hc proteins of botulinum neurotoxin serotype B (BHc...

The effects on the blood enzymes of rabbits were ascertained by daily oral administration of 25 mg BHC per kg body weight for twelve weeks. The amount of BHC in the blood increased progressively and reached a maximum of 86.0 12 pg per ml. The levels of enzymes were elevated though there was a nonsignificant increase in the pH value of the blood of the treated group. An increase of 0323 and 0.58...

volume is divided into two parts. Part one contains specifications for technical DDT, BHC, met oxyc or^ chlordane, dieldrin, BHC containing 90% or rnore isomer, Pyrethrem extract (cerosol grade), water dispersible powder concentrates containing DDT and BHC and emulsion concentrates containing DDT, BHC and Dieldrin, all being intended for use against vectors of diseases of man. Part two contains...
