Authors present a case of a 78-year-old female patient with invasive ductal adenocarcinoma in the pacemaker, s pocket. A decubitus-like tumor had developed in this place, and has been missinterpretated as a benign lesion for 5 months. Diagnosis was done with a time delay. An excisional biopsy revealed annvasive ductal…

Trained indexers at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) manually tag each biomedical abstract with the most suitable terms from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terminology to be indexed by their PubMed information system. MeSH has over 26,000 terms and indexers look at each article's full text while assigning th…

The near-infrared and visible wavelength spectrum of the water dimer is considered to be the major contributor to the so-called water continuum at these wavelengths. However, theoretical models of this spectrum require the simultaneous treatment of both monomer and dimer excitations. A model for treating this problem i…

UNLABELLED: The aim of this study is presentation of 3 cases reconstructive surgery of the skull base after craniocerebral injury. INJURIES AND METHODS: Extensive injuries of the skull base result in communication with paranasal cavities. DIAGNOSTICS: The most serious part of the operation is the isolation of the liq…

With academic internationalisation at full speed, English is increasingly used as a medium of instruction in higher education. The question arises of whether unbalanced bilinguals remember study materials in a non-native language (L2) as well as in a first language (L1). In previous studies, we found a disadvantage for…

In a previous paper (Nie et al. in JHEP 1311:087, arXiv:1309.2204 [hep-th], 2013), we presented a holographic s [Formula: see text] p superconductor model with a scalar triplet charged under an SU(2) gauge field in the bulk. We also study the competition and coexistence of the s-wave and p-wave orders in the…

Because of repeated claims that A-DNA cannot exist without aggregation or condensation, the state of DNA restriction fragments with 84-859 bp has been analyzed in aqueous solutions upon reduction of the water activity. Rotational diffusion times τ (d) measured by electric dichroism at different water activit…

It is shown that for any full column rank matrix X 0 with more rows than columns there is a neighborhood [Formula: see text] of X 0 and a continuous function f on [Formula: see text] such that f(X) is an orthogonal complement of X for all X in [Formula: see text]. This is used to derive a distribution free goodness of…

The availability of full text medical journal articles is rapidly increasing with the increased availability of the Internet. The potentials of the new technology present researchers, publishers, and librarians with new problems and challenges. Some resources are made available free of charge, whereas others are distri…

Gambling harm prevention messages are catching up with best practices from tobacco: Australia has implemented seven independently-designed messages, and the UK is due to make a similar change to replace industry-designed slogans. Three of the seven Australian messages are "self-appraisal" messages, such as "What's gamb…

The myocardial performance index (MPI) is a simple quantitative, non-geometric index of ventricular function and is readily applicable for evaluation of the right and left ventricle function. The aim of the study was to assess normal MPI values in healthy children. We studied 38 healthy children from 3 to 18 years of a…

A thorough understanding of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) of the electron beam is of great advantage to any modern linear accelerator (linac), and of critical importance for operating a free electron laser (FEL). While a transverse deflecting structure (TDS) allows full characterization of a beam's LPS, measuremen…

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Pascal Van Der Voort at the University of Ghent and colleagues at Technische Universität Berlin. The image depicts the covalent triazine frameworks reported in the manuscript for the sorption of COand also in metal-free catalysis. Read the full text…

Telemedicine (other than costly long distance telephone and facsimile messages) in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) started approximately 4 years ago with the establishment of Internet access in the State of Yap. A local access, for medical use only, via already established trunk lines maintained by Continental…

BACKGROUND: Angiogenetic factors play an important role in the formation of new blood vessels involved in the growth and metastatic spread of solid tumors, but there is limited information regarding the clinical significance of serum bFGF levels in gastric cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Serum bFGF concentratio…

AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the results of surgical therapy of esophageal perforation in relation to the time of onset. METHODS: A retrospective study of patients records with a discharge diagnose of esophageal perforation RESULTS: During 12 years, 9 patients with esophageal perforation were treated at our surgical…

The concept of emergency medical transport originated from the need to move wounded soldiers from the battlefield to aid stations and other medical facilities (Ref. 11). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.

Abnormal peritoneal folds near the liver are very rare. This case report presents an observation of an abnormal fold of peritoneum that extended from the upper right part of the greater omentum and stomach to the fossa for gallbladder. This fold merged with the lesser omentum on the left and extended to the right kidne…

The Clinician's Workstation (CWS) has provided the full-functionality of an on-line electronic patient record for outpatient pediatric clinics over the past 3 years. The implementation of the CWS built upon a substantial effort in integration of data from various sources. This paper addresses the subsequent design issu…

Many authors have reported on the use of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) to match concepts in free text. Unmatched search strings may be due to misspellings, concepts not in the UMLS, or searches for words not expected to be in the UMLS (e.g., names of people or places). We mapped search strings from a full-…
