The current paper presents an approach for analyzing the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) with the goal of automatically identifying morphologic negation such that swapping the truth values of concepts introduced by negation does not interfere with understanding the medical discourse. To identify morphologic negation we propose the RoPreNex strategy that represents the adaptation of our PreNex ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) closely associate with nerves and smooth muscles to modulate gut motility. In the ICC microenvironment, although the circulating hormones/factors have been shown to influence ICC activities, the association between ICC and microvessels in the gut wall has not been described. We applied three-dimensional (3D) vascular histology with c-kit stain...

BACKGROUND The role of flow cytometry (FCM) in diagnosing myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remains controversial, because analysis of myeloid maturation may involve subjective interpretation of sometimes subtle patterns on multiparameter FCM. METHODS Using six-parameter marker combinations known to be useful in evaluating the myeloid compartment in MDS, we measured objective immunophenotypic d...

Introduction: The Vallis Schröteri exists on the Aristarchus Plateau (305-313 °E, 22-30 °N) which is a topographic high surrounded by basaltic maria. The rille appears a singular sinuous rille as meandering primary rille including a more meandering inner rille. Typical sinuous rilles are 20 to 40 km in length and less than 1 km in width [1], however, the primary rille of Vallis Schröteri has be...

and the other 4 developed morphologic changes while receiving HAART. The average time to morphologic change was 20 months (22 months for those receiving dual nucleoside therapy and 19 months for those receiving HAART). All of the patients in this report received stavudine for an average of 19 months (table 2). As the number of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy increases in the developin...
