Unidirectional calcium flux (JCa) in the superficial pars recta and thin descending limb of Henle (DLH) was examined by the isolated tubule microperfusion technic using 45Ca as the isotopic tracer. In the pars recta sequential measurements of lumen-to-bath flux (JlbCa) and bath-to-lumen flux (JblCa) revealed: JlbCa 22.4 +/- 4.18, JblCa 7.97 +/- 1.95, and calculated net efflux of calcium (JnetCa...

Data of 46 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis were evaluated. All of them were under the age of 16 at the time of study. Patients with juvenile ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease were excluded from this series. Twenty-six patients had pauciarticular, 9 had systemic, 8 had polyarticular, and 3 patients had seropositive 'adu...

“Diffuse” gamma rays consist of several components: truly diffuse emission from the interstellar medium, the extragalactic background, whose origin is not firmly established yet, and the contribution from unresolved and faint Galactic point sources. One approach to unravel these components is to study the diffuse emission from the interstellar medium, which traces the interactions of high energ...

We present the performance measures of our Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) implementation that integrates sanitizable signature schemes into the XML Signature Specification. Our implementation shows mostly negligible performance impacts when using the Ateniese scheme with four different chameleon hashes and the Miyazaki scheme in XML Signatures. Thus, sanitizable signatures can be added to...

C-reactive protein (CRP) was found to be particularly high early in the course of those cases of juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) with a systemic onset, the mean level being 12 mg/dl (120 mg/l). It was also raised in cases with a polyarticular onset, mean level 6 mg/dl, while in cases with a pauciarticular onset it was associated with only a modest increase up to 1.5 mg/dl (15 mg/l). At the ons...
