There is current controversy over the optimal name for the condition classically known as interstitial cystitis (IC). The term IC reflects the clinical interpretation of the symptom of pain centred in the region of the bladder and implies local inflammation, which is often not demonstrable. In 2002, the International Continence Society defined painful bladder syndrome (PBS) as the complaint of ...

We compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrixelement generators with parton showers. We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the LHC to compare different implementations of the so-called CKKW and MLM schemes using different matrix-element generators and different parton cascades. We find that although similar results are obtained in all cases, there are...

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a newly discovered disease that has been associated with the use of gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents in patients with severe renal disease, most commonly those on dialysis If the patient has risk factors for kidney disease (> 60 years, diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosis, history of renal disease, multiple myeloma), a BUN/creatinine must be performed with...

2 network from more comprehensive aspects: variation of gene expression level, gene co-expression between directly connected proteins and the topology of the sub-network, whereas many other existing methods only take a part of these factors into account. By the edge-based searching procedure utilizing connected edges, instead of vertices, what we construct is a sub-network with the topology str...
