The Xpress Transfer Protocol, XTP, is an approach to protocol design for next generation networks. The Protocol Engine, PE, is a hardware architecture for implementing network protocols and system interfaces using VLSI techniques. The two projects are related: XTP is designed with a PE in mind. This paper presents some of the ideas and goals in XTP. Introduction XTP [1] represents a compromise ...

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common lethal disease that its clinical symptoms may be seen in many other diseases. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of PE. In addition, it can accurately detect the other diseases with clinical symptoms similar to PE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of PE and nonemboli...

the lack of pathognomonic signs and symptoms makes the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (pe) difficult. here, we report a case of a 42-year-old man presented to the emergency department with worsening epigastric pain, hypotension, frank bradycardia, and final diagnosis of pe. although previous studies have indicated that abdominal pain was observed in 6.7% of patients with pe, the exact reason f...

Background: The use of biomarkers for diagnosis of Preeclampsia (PE), a life-threatening pregnancy disorder, could reduce serious complications of this disease. In this study, we investigated dysregulation of endoglin (Eng) expression and diagnostic accuracy of soluble endoglin (sEng) in PE patients. Methods: For this case-control study, 26 mild and 15 severe preeclamptic women along with 20 no...
