BACKGROUND Carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are alternative strategies for stroke prevention in patients with atherosclerotic carotid disease. Although randomized clinical trials are the gold standard for assessing the relative benefits of different treatments, observational research is necessary for determining "real-world" effectiveness. Current recommendations l...

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of early versus delayed carotid artery stenting (CAS) for symptomatic cerebral watershed infarction (sCWI) patients due to stenosis of the proximal internal carotid artery. We retrospectively collected clinical data of those who underwent early or delayed CAS from March 2011 to April 2014. The time of early CAS and delayed CAS was withi...

The age-related imbalance between the increased bone resorption and decreased formation results in the bone loss and osteoporosis. Recently, as the functional role of the seven transmembrane spanning extracellular calcium sensing receptor (CaS) in bone cells has been discovered, the possibility that the bone CaS could potentially be targeted by antagonists to control the bone remodeling has bee...

The previously proposed cunning ant system (cAS), a variant of the ACO algorithm, worked well on the TSP and the results showed that the cAS could be one of the most promising ACO algorithms. In this paper, we apply cAS to solving QAP. We focus our main attention on the effects of applying local search and parallelization of the cAS. Results show promising performance of cAS on QAP.

Determination of vitamin B12 in all forms of infant, adult, and/ or pediatric formula (powders, ready-to-feed liquids, and liquid concentrates). For the purpose of this SMPR, vitamin B12 is defined as cobalt-containing corrinoids with the biological activity of cyanocobalamin such as cyanocobalamin (CAS 68-19-9), aquocobalamin (CAS 13422-52-1), hydroxycobalamin (CAS 13422-51-0), methylcobalamin...

A prop-03 de la tetanie de l'cnfant: presentation de quelques cas, reYue de la. litterature.  Parmi les diverses etiologies de la tetanie in­fantile, le rachitisme et la malabsorption sont les causes les plus frequentes en Iran.  La tetanie s'observe plus volontiers au debut du rachitisme et dans des stades avances. Un seul cas de tetanie fut obse:rve chez un enfant de trois mo:is, ancien pre...

Introduction: L'objectif de cette étude était de documenter le profil épidémiologique et histologique des métastases cutanées vues au laboratoire d'anatomie pathologique (LAP) de Lomé. Méthodes: Il s'agissait d'une étude descriptive et transversale portant sur des cas de métastases cutanées observées au LAP du CHU Sylvanus Olympio entre 2005 et 2014. Résultats: Au cours de cette période d'étude...

The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the addition of orbital magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can provide improvement in sensitivity of detection of active disease and the prediction of the response to intravenous glucocorticoid therapy (ivGC), over clinical activity score (CAS) alone. A prospective case series was studied at our institution. Forty eight patients were examined by CAS an...

As the safety and effectiveness of urgent carotid artery stenting (CAS) for neurologically progressing patients remain controversial, we retrospectively analyzed the outcome of urgent CAS based on the patients' pathophysiological condition and neuroimaging findings. We divided 71 patients who underwent CAS within 14 days of stroke onset into two groups. Group 1 (n = 35) was comprised of patient...
