Newly recognized strain of mice with hereditary polyuria (PUS mice) was characterized. Polyuria was inherited as a single autosomal-recessive trait. At 15 weeks, PUS mice excreted hypotonic (urine osmolality: PUS;270.8 +/- 15.5 vs. cont.; 3,228.6 +/- 163.6 mosm/kg) polyuria (urine volume: PUS; 25.0 +/- 1.5 vs. cont.; 1.1 +/- 0.1 ml/day). In PUS mice, plasma osmolality was slightly elevated as w...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe the evolution of unstageable pressure ulcers (PUs) over time to determine if their healing trajectory is consistent with full- or partial-thickness wounds. DESIGN Retrospective review of electronic medical record and a clinical PU database. SUBJECTS AND SETTINGS Patients with hospital-acquired, unstageable PUs were evaluated. Subjects were c...

purpose: to report two cases of secondary epithelial iris cyst (seic) with pus-like precepitates in the cyst. patients and findings: two young men with history of penetrating trauma to the eye and primary repair developed secondary epithelial iris cyst several years later. slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed a large cyst originating from the site of the laceration. the cyst was filled with pus-lik...

In this paper, novel enhanced Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is considered by using power control where secondary users (SUs) are allowed to use wireless resources of the primary users (PUs) when PUs are deactivated, but also allow SUs to coexist with PUs while PUs are activated by managing interference caused from SUs to PUs. Therefore, a novel finite horizon adaptive optimal distributed power ...

Pressure ulcers (PU) are serious, reportable events causing pain, infection and prolonged hospitalization, particularly among critically ill patients. The literature on PUs in neonates is limited. The objective was to determine the etiology, severity and influence of gestational age on PUs among hospitalized infants. A two-year prospective study was conducted among 741 neonatal intensive care p...

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are chronic wounds that occur as areas of tissue necrosis that results from external physical compression, shear forces, and friction. Recently, the efficacy of polyvinylidene film dressing (PVFD) for PUs without any agents promoting wound healing has been reported, suggesting that PUs have their own mechanism of spontaneous healing achieved by vascularization, synthesis o...

For a long time, eukaryotic stand-alone pseudouridine synthases (Pus enzymes) were neglected as non-essential enzymes adding seemingly simple modifications to tRNAs and small nuclear RNAs. Most studies were limited to the identification and initial characterization of the yeast Pus enzymes. However, recent transcriptome-wide mapping of pseudouridines in yeast and humans revealed pervasive modif...
