TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Average volume-assured pressure support (AVAPS) is a comparatively newer modality of non-invasive ventilation that incorporates the properties both volume and pressure-control ventilation. Though its benefits were well documented in chronic respiratory failure, studies illustrating usage acute failure are still insub...

Running head: Female choice for male immunocompetence 18 19 2 Disease resistance is not determined by any single immune component. Nevertheless, 1 female choice for individual immune components could produce more disease-resistant 2 offspring. Using a mathematical model, we tested whether female choice for male 3 immune responsiveness was maintained or lost in simulated populations. We divided ...

BACKGROUND Poor glycemic control in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients is strongly associated with an increased risk of diabetes-related microvascular complications later in life, but it is unclear whether short period of poor glycemic control in children with T1D can cause evident microvascular morphological changes long before any pathological manifestation. Our study aimed to investigate the lon...

To uncover transcriptional stress responses related to p53, we used cDNA microarrays (National Cancer Institute Oncochips comprising 6500 different genes) to characterize the gene expression profiles of wild-type p53 HCT-116 cells and an isogenic p53 knockout counterpart after treatment with topotecan, a specific topoisomerase I inhibitor. The use of the p53 knockout cells had the advantage ove...

Lemierre's syndrome is a rare but a life threatening condition which affects young healthy individuals, was first described by Dr.Andre Lemierre in 1936. Incidence rates are between 0.6 and 2.3 per million population. It is found more commonly in males, with a male to female ratio of approximately 2:1. Its pathogenesis consists of the development of infectious thrombophlebitis in the internal j...

We introduce resource-bounded betting games, and propose a generalization of Lutz’s resource-bounded measure in which the choice of next string to bet on is fully adaptive. Lutz’s martingales are equivalent to betting games constrained to bet on strings in lexicographic order. We show that if strong pseudo-random number generators exist, then betting games are equivalent to martingales, for mea...

Studies of immune mechanisms and immune function are widespread in modern biology. Furthermore, studies of the immune system have been central to the fields of health and medicine for over a century (Silverstein 1989). As a result, the immune system of vertebrates and in particular that of model organisms, such as mice, has been described in great detail (for an introductory yet comprehensive o...
