We studied five patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) diagnosed within the last ten years at the Department of Hematology of Universidade Federal de São Paulo-Escola Paulista de Medicina. Our purpose was to analyze the value of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) by comparing this method with the conventional ones. At diagnosis, patients presented weight loss, spleen enlargement and hairy ...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the science and technology of monitoring and assessing the condition of aerospace, civil, and mechanical infrastructures using a sensing system integrated into the structure. Impedance-based SHM measures impedance of a structure using a PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) patch. This chapter presents a lowpower wireless autonomous and active SHM node called Auton...

Background: Male factors, mainly spermatogenesis disorder, are responsible for 20-30% of infertility occurs in different societies. One of the known causes of spermatogenesis disorder is chemotherapy in patients with cancer. The side effect of chemotherapic agents may last from 10 years up to the end of the life. Since dividing cells are mainly affected by anticancer drugs, the aim of the prese...

CONTEXT Magnetic resonance imaging studies have identified hippocampal volume reductions in schizophrenia and amygdala volume enlargements in bipolar disorder, suggesting different medial temporal lobe abnormalities in these conditions. These studies have been limited by small samples and the absence of patients early in the course of illness. OBJECTIVE To investigate hippocampal and amygdala...

Multimetallic mesoporous spheres are successfully synthesized with ultra-large mesopores with the assistance of nonionic triblock copolymer (F127) as a structural directing agent. The kinetically controlled reduction rate of metal species and the concentration of F127 are critical to the formation of the large mesopores.

This paper presents a compact micro Snowflake fractal radiating antenna. The antenna supports two ultra bandwidth of 6.55GHz has been achieved from 3.4892GHz to 10.0392 10.9013GHz to 16.3989GHz). It is fed by a 50 simulation was performed by Computer Simulation High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS characteristics for UWB applications.

Materials and methods Expression of key metabolic markers was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 480 prostate samples and prostate cell lines. The levels of glycolytic metabolism were assessed using commercial colorimetric assays. The effect of the MCT inhibitor and thioridazine was evaluated on cell viability by using the Sulforhodamine B assay. Finally, ultra-structural studies were performe...
