Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers (NSDTRs) are a dog breed often affected by immune-mediated rheumatic disease (IMRD), a disorder characterised by chronic stiffness and joint pain. Most, but not all, dogs with IMRD, have antinuclear antibodies (ANA), which are also commonly present in the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The clinical and diagnostic findings of IMRD indic...

OBJECTIVES We developed and established a new dose-finding system, the individualized maximum repeatable dose (iMRD), suitable to induce prolonged TTP rather than tumor shrinkage. METHODS We applied this system in weekly gemcitabine therapy for 18 metastatic pancreas cancer patients. We determined the iMRD at the 5th week, after weekly dose adjustments. We started at 500 mg/m2 (1/2 maximum to...

In this study, morbidity in insured Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (NSDTR) dogs from Sweden was investigated and compared with all other breeds and other retriever breeds. In addition to describing common morbidities in NSDTRs, the hypotheses that NSDTRs are predisposed to lymphoma, immune-mediated rheumatic disease (IMRD) and steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) were tested. Incl...

Following Swales’s (1981) works on genre analysis, studies on different sections of Research Articles (RAs) in various languages and fields abound; however, only scant attention has been directed toward abstracts written in Persian, and in the field of literature. Moreover, claims made by Lores (2004) regarding the correspondence of two types of abstracts with different models, and by Martin (2...

This current study aims to investigate both the variant application of the verb tense as well as the rhetorical structure within JA abstracts. A 9.9 million word corpus of 1000 JAs was collected based on four prestigious journal...

Research article writing has received a great deal of attention from ESP researchers. Analyses of the general structure of Introduction-Method-Results-Discussion (IMRD) articles, as well as detailed analyses of individual sections, including introductions, results, and discussions sections, have dominated the ESP literature, especially following Swales' pioneering work on introductions in the e...

There have been a considerable number of studies on the research article genre (RA) from different perspectives form and function. However, limited examined overall organizational structure articles with all main sections article, Introduction-Methods-Results-Discussion (IMRD). are also variations in IMRD across disciplines. The present study sought to analyze a) rhetorical individual Forestry ...

To date, there are few data literature specifically evaluating this issue. Objectives Evaluate IMRD patients 6 months infection, compared pre status. Methods ReumaCoV Brasil is a longitudi...
