Serial sections of lower lip salivary gland (LSG) biopsies were examined by immunohistochemistry, using a battery of B- and partly T-related antibodies (CD5, CD20, CD21, CD27, CD38, CD45RO, CD79a, Bcl-2 and Bcl-6) in different groups of subjects: healthy controls and clinically verified smoking or nonsmoking cases of primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). The purpose was to characterize the B-cell pa...

a subgroup $x$ of a group $g$ is almost normal if the index $|g:n_g(x)|$ is finite, while $x$ is nearly normal if it has finite index in the normal closure $x^g$. this paper investigates the structure of groups in which every (infinite) subgroup is either almost normal or nearly normal.

To investigate white matter (WM) abnormalities in neocortical epilepsy, we extract supratentorial WM parameters from raw tensor magnetic resonance images (MRI) with automated region-of-interest (ROI) registrations. Sixteen patients having neocortical seizures with secondarily generalised convulsions and 16 age-matched normal subjects were imaged with high-resolution and diffusion tensor MRIs. A...

Let $G$ be a finite group. A subgroup $H$ is called $S$-semipermutable in if $HG_p$ = $G_pH$ for any $G_p\in Syl_p(G)$ with $(|H|, p) 1$, where $p$ prime number divisible $|G|$. Furthermore, said to $NH$-embedded there exists normal $T$ of such that $HT$ Hall and $H \cap T \leq H_{\overline{s}G}$, $H_{\overline{s}G}$ the largest contained $H$, $SS$-quasinormal provided supplement $B$ permutes e...

in this paper, we examine that some simple $k_4$-groups can be determined uniquely by their orders and one or two irreducible complex character degrees.

INTRODUCTION A subgroup of patients with primary Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) and positive anticentromere antibodies (ACA) were recognized as having features intermediate between SS and systemic sclerosis (SSc). Our goal was to describe this group clinically and serologically and define its tendency to evolve to full blown SSc. METHODS Among 535 patients with primary SS we identified 20 ACA positi...

Aim: Testicular torsion which is the most common cause of acute scrotum, a real surgical emergency. However, despite imaging techniques and laboratory studies used in differential diagnosis pathologies causing difficult. Therefore, there need for parameters that confirm testicular torsion.In our study, we aimed to investigate usability as parameter scrotum inflammation children via thiol-disulf...
