Though 'services' is a very broad concept and any generalisations should be made with caution it is widely acknowledged that services differ from goods in many respects. Analyses of key elements of market structure conduct and performance and the interface between these elements show us that competition in services mar... |
This Design Case study will explore how the Lightbox project that was exhibited at the Lightwave Festival (Science Gallery Dublin JanFeb 2009) can contribute to further discussion and research about the ways in which we consider the use of analogy and the ‘technosensorary’ in design research. reflect on the use of ana... |
Oxidative activation of the antituberculous drug isoniazid (INH) in the presence of the NADH cofactor gives a pool of INH-NAD adducts proposed to be involved in the mechanism of action of this drug through inhibition of the reductase InhA. Among these adducts and besides dihydropyridine derivatives, two pyridinium-type... |
Disruption of colonic homeostasis caused by aberrant M1/M2 macrophage polarization and dysbiosis contributes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis. However, the molecular factors mediating colonic homeostasis are not well characterized. Here, we found that Ninjurin1 (Ninj1) limits colon inflammation by regul... |

Background |
Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a relatively less invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). This study investigated the usefulness of a full-endoscopic system for PELD to treat L5 nerve root compression caused by lumbar foraminal stenosis (L5-LFS). |
Methods |
Between November 2016 and December 2017, a total of 10 patients with unilateral leg pain due to L5-LFS underwent surgery using a full-endoscopic system for PELD. Patients with bilateral L5-LFS or L5-LFS with coexisting LDH and/or spondylolysis were excluded from this study. A percutaneous endoscopic translaminar approa... |
Results |
The patients' mean age was 62.2 years; there were 7 male and 3 female patients. The mean recovery rate was 58.2% with the mJOA score; mean pre- and postoperative NRS scores were 7.4 and 2.3, respectively. The mean operative time was 77.6 min. Although there were no major complications, pain did not improve in an 80-yea... |
Conclusions |
PETA using a full-endoscopic system is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for L5-LFS, with potential to be an alternative surgical strategy for L5-S1 interbody fusion.[Helicobacter pylori: two decades later]. |

We study the effect of the IP router buffer size on the throughput of HighSpeed TCP (HSTCP). We are motivated by the fact that, in high speed routers, the buffer size is important, as a large buffer size might be a constraint. We first derive an analytical model for HighSpeed TCP and we show that for a small buffer siz... |

STUDY OBJECTIVE |
To examine the usefulness of exhaled and nasal nitric oxide (NO) measurements to detect primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in children. |
DESIGN AND METHODS |
The study population consisted of 34 children with symptoms suggestive of PCD who were previously referred to our pediatric university respiratory disease clinic for a diagnostic workup including analysis of ciliary structure and function by respiratory mucosal biopsy. PCD was diagnosed in 17 of the 34 children accordi... |
RESULTS |
Nasal NO was significantly lower in those children with proven PCD (geometric mean; 13.7 parts per billion [ppb]), compared to those who had negative biopsy results (132.7 ppb) and healthy control subjects (223.7 ppb). The measurement of nasal NO in our study population showed, below a cut-off level of < 105 ppb, a spe... |
CONCLUSION |
The measurement of nasal NO appears to be a useful tool to screen children for PCD and to exclude this disease in those with high nasal NO levels.[State of the endometrium and endo- and ectocervix in women halting the use of intrauterine contraceptives]. |
