IL-32 and TNF? are important cytokines in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. IL-32 has not been previously studied with respect to MS. Here, we report IL-32 and TNF? transcript levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of MS patients and control individuals by real time PCR. A significant difference in IL-32 and TNF? mRNA levels of patients as compared to controls was not observed. Howeve...

detection and modification of the risk factors of stroke may be the most effective strategy for preventing its often irreversible consequences. a longitudinal prospective study was implemented to evaluate the effect of several risk factors on the course of cerebrovascular disease. the study groups were composed of 3s8 normal volunteers, and 308 patients with transient ischemic attacks. the two ...

This paper introduce a three-stage approach that can automatically mining multi-step attack patterns from massive alert data of web application firewalls. The first stage extracts attack sequences, and the second stage clusters similar attack sequences. At the last stage we recognize an attack pattern for each cluster. We conducted our experiments on real-world WAF alert data obtained from a fa...

our aim was to report techniques and our experience in one-stage angioplasty and stenting of ostium of left common carotid and left internal carotid arteries in an octogenarian man with transient ischemic attack, who was completely recovered from neurologic insults short time after the procedure. an 81-year-old man presented with a transient ischemic attack. neurologic examination showed left s...
