C M P0 4 The arrowed objects are tyrosine crystals. Tyrosine crystals are rare and their presence in urine is always abnormal. They form clusters of silky needle-like structures that are colorless, or black on focusing. Tyrosine crystals are found in acid urine, increase after refrigeration, and are insoluble in alcohol or ether. They are soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid, alkali and relative...

We define two such pairs (X, i), (Y, j) to be equivalent if there is an isogeny α : X → Y such that if α̃ : End(X) ' End(Y ) is the induced isomorphism, we have α̃ ◦ i = j. It is easy to check that this is an equivalence relation. We write X ∼ Y if (X, i) is equivalent to (Y, j). Let AF be the collection of equivalence classes. We will classify such equivalence classes. Let D be any R-algebra. A ...

The system consists of more than 68,000 codes, compared to approximately 13,000 ICD-9-CM codes. ICD-10-CM codes have the potential to reveal more about quality of care, so that data can be used in a more meaningful way to better understand complications, better design clinically robust algorithms, and better track the outcomes of care. ICD-10-CM incorporates greater specificity and clinical det...

El cáncer de colon es una enfermedad frecuente que puede ser esporádica o familiar. La inactivación del gen supresor de tumores APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) se ha encontrado en más del 80% de los casos descritos de tumores colorrectales, apareciendo como una alteración temprana durante el desarrollo del pólipo adenomatoso. La inactivación del gen APC no es únicamente crítica en el proceso d...

Configuration management, the traditional CM, has been subsumed by a new CM, change management. The strategic organization looks ahead and this includes planning for change. This is an area of particular interest to software product line organizations. A product line organization must manage multiple options and control implementations of those options. In this issue of Strategic Software Engin...

Teenaged girls constitute the fastest growing segment of children and adolescents participating in organized athletics. Adolescent girls appear to have similar injury rates as boys in comparable activities but different injury patterns. To properly diagnose and manage athletic injuries in adolescent girls, pediatric health care providers must be aware of these differences, especially as the lit...
