OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare outcomes of patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS) for ipsilateral restenosis, after either previous CAS or carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA) (CAS-R group), with those of patients who had CAS performed for de novo carotid atherosclerotic stenosis (CAS-DN group). BACKGROUND Therapeutic revascularization strategies to...

cognitive architectures (cas) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. a ca is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. over the years a number of distinct cas have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. these cas are usually classified as symbolic and...

This paper describes a research whose main focus is the use of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in mathematical classrooms and the didactical possibilities linked with its use. The possibilities of integrating Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) within the CAS environment are brought into focus. Forty-three Israeli students (mean age 13.3) were assigned to two learning algebraic groups. The first group...

Background: To evaluate the association between pre/post-procedural high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and hs-CRP difference, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Methods: In this study, conducted in 2016 in Shiraz (Iran), patients who underwent diagnostic angiography and CAS...

BACKGROUND The cellular apoptosis susceptibility (CAS) protein is regarded as a proliferation-associated protein that associates with tumour proliferation as it associates with microtubule and functions in the mitotic spindle checkpoint. However, there is no any actual experimental study showing CAS (or CSE1 and CSE1L) can increase the proliferation of cancer cells. Previous pathological study ...

CAS is a docking protein, which was shown to act as a mechanosensor in focal adhesions. The unique assembly of structural domains in CAS is important for its function as a mechanosensor. The tension within focal adhesions is transmitted to a stretchable substrate domain of CAS by focal adhesion-targeting of SH3 and CCH domain of CAS, which anchor the CAS protein in focal adhesions. Mechanistic ...

"Etude etiologique de la circulation ra.pide iutra-rena-le"  Le but de l'angiographle renale n'est pas '.seu­lement le controle anatomique de l'organe, une etude physiologique (Hemodynamique) doit toujours etre prise en consideration.  Le temps normal de la circulation intra-renale selon les differents auteurs varie entre 6 a 8, 8 a 10 et 10 a 12 secondes, mais le temps moyen est de 6 a 8 seco...

Résumé Les poumons reçoivent la totalité du drainage veineux du corps expliquant la grande fréquence des métastases pleuro-pulmonaires de plusieurs cancers. L'objectif était d'étudier les manifestations radio-cliniques des métastases pleuro-pulmonaires des cancers extra-thoraciques. Nous rapportons une étude rétrospective de patients porteurs de métastase pleuro-pulmonaire colligés dans notre s...

Most of cerebral aneurysms (CAs) are incidentally discovered without any neurological symptoms and the risk of rupture of CAs is relatively higher in Japanese population. The goal of treatments for patients with CAs is complete exclusion of the aneurysmal rupture risk for their lives. Since two currently available major treatments, microsurgical clipping and endovascular coiling, have inherent ...
