BACKGROUND The rise in LDL with egg feeding in lean insulin-sensitive (LIS) participants is 2- and 3-fold greater than in lean insulin-resistant (LIR) and obese insulin-resistant (OIR) participants, respectively. OBJECTIVE We determined whether differences in cholesterol absorption, synthesis, or both could be responsible for these differences by measuring plasma sterols as indexes of cholest...

As part of a genetic analysis of blue light photoreception in Neurospora, three mutants were isolated that do not exhibit photosuppression of circadian conidiation, i.e., they show periodic conidiation in constant light. The mutations have been given the designations lis-1, lis-2 and lis-3 ("light insensitive"). The three mutations segregate as single nuclear genes, are nonallelic and are reces...

purpose: this paper aims to determine the individual factors that influence on knowledge sharing behavior of library & information science(lis) faculties that in this context refers to trust, cooperations, communications and it capabilities. methodology: the methodology of this study is based on survey research. the instrument for collecting data was questionnaire and the research population co...

BACKGROUND In a previous pilot study comparing insulin glulisine (GLU) with insulin aspart (ASP) administered by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), GLU-treated patients did show a trend toward fewer catheter occlusions compared with ASP-treated patients. Here we performed a randomized open-label, three-way crossover, controlled multicenter study comparing GLU with ASP and insulin ...

Library and information domain being highly integrated with computing science and technology, bibliometric and citational analysis, the team that launched this project felt that LIS could set an interesting reference case to other communities in providing a state-of-the-art model for the OA movement and for digital libraries, and most particularly to the open archive model, within which E-LIS i...

THREE PROBLEMS IN RELATION TO Luciano Floridi's work on the Philosophy of Information (PI) and the relationship of PI to Library and Information Science (LIS) are considered: the claim that LIS is a materials-based discipline, Floridi's claim about Information as a message transfer system, and his downgrading of Social Epistemology to be a subset of PI. The recent history of LIS and the practic...

We present a corpus analysis of how Italian connectives are translated into LIS, the Italian Sign Language. Since corpus resources are scarce, we propose an alignment method between the syntactic trees of the Italian sentence and of its LIS translation. This method, and clustering applied to its outputs, highlight the different ways a connective can be rendered in LIS: with a corresponding sign...

Ectopic valvular ossification during the course of degenerative valve disease is a relatively rare event. The presence of lamellar bone tissue in human cardiac valve was first documented histologically by Rosenstein over a century ago (1). The frequency of ossification in surgically excised native cardiac valves reported in three large retrospective analyses was 13% (aortic and mitral valves) (...

BACKGROUND The Lung Injury Score (LIS) remains a commonly utilized measure of lung injury severity though the additive value of LIS to predict ARDS outcomes over the recent Berlin definition of ARDS, which incorporates severity, is not known. METHODS We tested the association of LIS (in which scores range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating more severe lung injury) and its four compone...

CONTEXT Virtual microscopy which is the diagnostic work with digitized microscopic images in tissue - based diagnosis is in its childhood in being implemented in routine diagnosis. Until today, only a few pathology institutions take use of this new technology, although it is available since several years. Why? DESIGN Virtual microscopy requires a new workflow organisation in the pathologist's...
