This report describes a case of adult-onset cystic fibrosis (CF) in an African-American male. Although CF is a common autosomal recessive disorder in populations of European descent, it is relatively rare in the African-American population (1 in 17,000), with only Asian population ancestries being less affected than African blacks. We present our patient's disease course in order to elucidate t...

The carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTC) has been applied in the manufacture of automobiles. in-situ damage sensing and nondestructive evaluation techniques are important automobile industries. In this paper, Carbon (CF)/Polyamide (PA) composite was sensed using electrical resistance (ER) on tensile flexural stresses specimens. CF dispersion CF/PA evaluated ER calculated an ...

The care and condition of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) in 34 European countries is reported using data obtained from publications, registries and professionals providing CF patient care. Care and outcomes differ markedly between countries. Although the 2005 European standards of patient care publication was widely known, in many countries there were no specialized CF centres. In only a mino...

This study evaluated causative factors in landslide susceptibility assessments and compared the performance of five models based on certainty factor (CF), logistic regression (LR), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), coupled CF–analytic (CF-AHP), CF–logistic (CF-LR). Kaiyang County, China, has complex geological conditions frequent disasters. Based field observations, nine influencing factors, na...

the present study describes the length-weight relationship (lwr), length-length relationship (llr) and condition factor of the wild population of the shrimp macrobrachium macrobrachion from the rivers of côte d’ivoire (west africa). samples were randomly collected from small-scale shrimp fisheries using bamboo traps. of the thirteen analyzed morphometrics characters, only the second pleura widt...

gully erosion constitutes a major problem in natural resources management and soil conservation, which causes severe land degradation in arid and semi-arid areas. therefore, determination of gully prone area and identification of gully conditioning factors can help to managers and decision makers to reduce the hazard of gully erosion. the aim of this study is to predictthe gully erosion suscept...

Metazoan replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs undergo a unique 3'-cleavage reaction which does not result in mRNA polyadenylation. Although the cleavage site is defined by histone-specific factors (hairpin binding protein, a 100-kDa zinc-finger protein and the U7 snRNP), a large complex consisting of cleavage/polyadenylation specificity factor, two subunits of cleavage stimulation factor and...

A retrospective, single-center study from 2017 to 2019. Of 120 patients with advanced Rutherford class 3 and 4 chronic peripheral arterial disease (PAD), activity of coagulation factor (CF) VIII significantly increased months after open prosthetic bypass grafting (40 patients). Six CF-VIII developed graft thrombosis. Activities CF-VIII, CF-IX, CF-XI endovascular intervention Four in the group t...
