Sundaram, U., S. Wisel, V. M. Rajendren, and A. B. West. Mechanism of inhibition of Na1-glucose cotransport in the chronically inflamed rabbit ileum. Am. J. Physiol. 273 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 36): G913–G919, 1997.—In a rabbit model of chronic ileal inflammation, we previously demonstrated that coupled NaCl absorption was reduced because of an inhibition of Cl/HCO3 2 but not Na1/H1 excha...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder where patients develop autoantibodies towards skeletal muscle proteins (e.g. acetylcholine receptor and muscle specific kinase), causing weakness in striated muscles. Ocular MG (OMG) represents a subtype of (MG) affecting only the periocular muscles. The pathogenesis of this phenotype remains unclear. Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) plays a role in...

In a rabbit model of chronic ileal inflammation, we previously demonstrated that coupled NaCl absorption was reduced because of an inhibition of Cl-/[Formula: see text]but not Na+/H+exchange on the brush-border membrane (BBM) of villus cells. In this study we determined the alterations in Na+-stimulated glucose [Na+- O-methyl-d-glucose (Na+-OMG)] absorption during chronic ileitis. Na+-OMG uptak...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com the skeletal muscles. Although weakness may affect any muscle, MG has a distinct predilection for involvement of the extraocular muscles (EOM). MG patients are therefore categorized into two groups, the ocular MG (OMG) and the generalized group. The diagnosis of OMG is challenging and not always clinically evident since symptoms and signs can mimic ...

The Object Management Group (OMG) has solicited responses to a Request for Proposal (RFP) covering an Object Query Service (OQS). This OQS RFP forms part of [OMG94]. The OQS, together with others, forms part of the OMG Object Management Architecture [OMG92] for defining open, distributed object systems. This paper discusses three candidate object models that could form the basis of the OQS, nam...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to obtain data on the frequency with which Korean patients with autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) present solely with ocular disturbances and progress to develop generalized disease and to identify the prognostic factors associated with secondary generalization. METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicenter survey in which a total of 376 adult patient...

This document describes the background behind the Requests for Proposals for UML 2.0 as being issued by the OMG. This includes both an internal upgrade of the UML structure, and extensions that users find lacking in the current UML. The corresponding presentation will focus mostly on the latest developments in industry what all these changes mean for end users, i.e. the UML modeller.

Launched in 2001, MDA is now having a major impact on the work of the application development methods and tools community. Currently, there are at least 40 tools that incorporate at least one of the major aspects of MDA (the OMG website has a page at http://www.omg.org/mda/committedproducts.htm listing 42 of them) and there are perhaps another couple of dozen in the works. According to Jon Sieg...

Management Group has been the most influential standard in the OO world and one of the principal steps in the indus-try's move to component-based development. Jon Siegel, Director of Domain Technology at the OMG and best-selling CORBA book author, gives us a preview of CORBA 3, the next step in the technology. —Bertrand Meyer C ORBA 3, the first major addition to CORBA from the OMG since the In...
