CSDBase (http://www.chemie.uni-marburg.de/~csdbase/) is an interactive Internet-embedded research platform providing detailed information on proteins containing the cold shock domain (CSD). It consists of two separated database cores, one dedicated to CSD protein information, and one to provide a powerful resource to relevant literature with emphasis on the bacterial cold shock response. In add...

We report the case of D.A., a 22-year-old woman with a >3-year medical history of dizziness. She was diagnosed with Chronic Subjective Dizziness (CSD). CSD manifests with multiple symptoms such as persistent sensation of nonvertiginous dizziness that may include vague descriptors such as lightheadedness, heavy headedness, a feeling of imbalance often not apparent to others; Chronic hypersensiti...

Abstract: Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is the most frequent presentation of Bartonella henselae infection. It has a worldwide distribution and is associated with a previous history of scratch or bite from a cat or dog. CSD affects children and teenagers more often (80%) than adults, and it usually has a self-limiting clinical course. Atypical clinical course or systemic symptoms are described in 5...

RBC (oxygen-carrier) behaviour in the cerebrocortical microvasculature during K +-induced cortical spreading depression (CSD) was examined in urethane-anesthetized male Wistar rats (n=10). The movements of FITC-labeled RBCs in single capillaries in the cortical region were traced with a high-speed camera laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscope and analyzed with Matlab domain software, K...

We describe a patient who presented with a massive chest-wall abscess after a severe debilitating illness that lasted 3 months. Steroid therapy, administered for 4 weeks, masked the slow development of an extensive axillary and chest-wall abscess. After multiple negative tests, the patient's prolonged illness was diagnosed as cat-scratch disease (CSD). An indirect fluorescent antibody test reve...

In mobile applications, the energy consumed by OS and application tasks primarily comes from limited DC battery source, which imposes an upper bound to the amount of time available for execution of tasks. To achieve the best Energy-aware Quality-of-Service (EQoS), it is important to prioritize the scheduling of critical tasks over non-critical tasks to improve overall performance while extendin...

Rhythmic local field potential (LFP) oscillations observed during deep sleep are the result of synchronized electrical activities of large neuronal ensembles, which consist of alternating periods of activity and silence, termed 'up' and 'down' states, respectively. Current-source density (CSD) analysis indicates that the up states of these slow oscillations are associated with current sources i...

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a relatively common disease mainly caused by Bar-tonella henselae. In this issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, Maman et al. [1] report on musculoskeletal manifestations of CSD, extending the spectrum of clinical manifestations of B. henselae infection by including chronic arthritis, as well as emphasizing the prevalence of arthralgias. As a matter of fact, CSD is...
