This paper introduces a new multistage CIC decimation filter based on non recursive and modified recursive structure of CIC filter. The resulting decimation filter has an improved magnitude response compared with that of a corresponding conventional CIC filter. Additionally the filter is a multiplierfree and has no filtering at high input rate. The sharpening technique is used to further improv...

BACKGROUND Ciclesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid administered by a metered dose inhaler (MDI) to treat bronchial asthma. After inhalation, the inactive ciclesonide is converted by esterases in the airways to active metabolite desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (des-CIC). AIM To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of des-CIC in children after administration of therapeutic dose of ciclesonide...

Whole transcriptome sequencing was used to study a small round cell tumor in which a t(4;19)(q35;q13) was part of the complex karyotype but where the initial reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) examination did not detect a CIC-DUX4 fusion transcript previously described as the crucial gene-level outcome of this specific translocation. The RNA sequencing data were analysed using the FusionMap, Fu...

A method for the determination of circulating immune complexes (CIC) was adapted for flow cytometric analysis. Human granulocytes were used to phagocytose IgG-bearing CIC of serum from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. A method for labeling the phagocytosed CIC with FITC-conjugated anti-human IgG was developed where the granulocytes remain in suspension during fixation and labeling. ...

Suspending Use of Contact Precautions in Patients Colonized with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a Level III Neonatal ICU and Its Effects on Rates of Transmission Tiffany Dogan, MPH, CIC; Alexandra Hayward, MPH; Sreelatha Ponnaluri-Wears, MPH, CIC; Elizabeth Lloyd, MD; Amanda Valyko, MPH, CIC and Terri Stillwell, MD; Infection Prevention and Epidemiology, Michigan Medicine,...

This paper presents the efficient modification in the frequency response of CIC compensation filter. The Compensation filter design consist of FIR filter as cascade after CIC filter. . A FIR filter that has a magnitude response inverse of the CIC filter can be applied to achieve frequency response correction . As proposed filter has only three coefficients so less computation is required. The d...

We assessed the renal and cardiac benefits of cicletanine (CIC), a furopyridine derivative drug with diuretic and antihypertensive properties, in diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats with renal impairment. Uninephrectomized streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic spontaneously hypertensive Izmo rats (SHRIzm) (10 weeks old) were randomly assigned to receive vehicle or CIC (100 mg/kg/day, orally), and ...

Comparison of conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) with ocular signs and vitamin A levels was done based upon a national nutrition survey involving 427 randomly selected subjects aged 6 months to 6 years. Medical nutritionists looked for ocular signs and performed conjunctival impressions. Imprints were submitted to the Institute of Ophthalmology, University of the Philippines-Philippines Gen...

Complementary DNA encoding a rat kidney chloride channel (CIC-K1) was isolated by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cloning strategy. We designed degenerate primers, based on the regions where previously cloned chloride channels (CIC-0, -1, and -2) possess significant amino acid identity, and performed reverse transcription PCR with whole kidney mRNA. The 686-amino acid protein encoded by CIC-K...
