INTRODUCTION Gestational age is estimated by ultrasound using fetal size as a proxy for age, although variance in early growth affects reliability. The aim of this study was to identify characteristics associated with discrepancies between last menstrual period-based (EDD-LMP) and ultrasound-based (EDD-US) estimated delivery dates. MATERIAL AND METHODS We identified all singleton births (n = ...

BACKGROUND We studied the direction and magnitude of changes in left ventricular (LV) cavity size and mass over time and whether these changes were related to those in exercise performance in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS AND RESULTS The study group was composed of 59 patients (55 men aged 58 +/- 10 years) with CHF and LV end-diastolic diameter (EDD) >55 mm. All underwent...

Electron detachment dissociation (EDD) has previously provided stereo-specific product ions that allow for the assignment of the acidic C-5stereochemistry in heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but application of the same methodology to an epimer pair in the chondroitin sulfate glycoform class does not provide the same result. A series of experiments have been conducted in which glycosam...

The objective of this research is to develop an effective and efficient design methodology for optimizing the configurations of energy dissipation devices (EDD) based on building performance objectives. Current design codes do not provide any guidelines for the optimization of EDD configurations. Previous research efforts are either limited in addressing different performance indices or not eff...

With respect to the $\rm H\beta$ full width at half-maximum ($\rm FWHM_{H\beta}$), broad line dispersion ($\sigma_{\rm H\beta}$) was preferred as a velocity tracer calculate single-epoch supermassive black hole mass ($M_{\rm BH}$) suggested by \cite{Yu2020b}. For compiled sample of 311 broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) with measured hard X-ray photon index ($z<0.7$), $\sigma_{\rm H\beta}$...

BACKGROUND Minimal change nephritic syndrome (MCNS) is characterized by a lack of obvious abnormalities on light microscopy, but its electron microscopic findings include the negative immunofluorescence findings and the diffuse effacement of the epithelial cell foot processes. Rarely the presence of electron dense deposits (EDDs) has been reported, but its clinical significance remains obscure....

Winds play a significant role in active galactic nuclei feedback process. Previous simulations studying winds only focus on small dynamical range. Therefore, it is unknown how far the can go and what properties of will be if they move to large radii. We perform study scale dynamics driven by line force. find that depend both black hole mass ($M_{BH}$) accretion disk luminosity. When luminosity ...

The 40.5-min region of the Escherichia coli map contains the zwf gene, which encodes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, an enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, and the edd and eda genes, which encode 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase, respectively, the key enzymes of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway (4). These three genes are tightly linked, and their...
