We aimed to describe clinical profiles of adults with PHPT receiving cinacalcet.DesignA descriptive, prospective, observational study in hospital and specialist care centres.MethodsFor patients with PHPT, aged 23–92 years, starting cinacalcet treatment for the first time, information was collected on dosing pattern, biochemistry and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Initial cinacalcet dosage and subsequent dose changes were at the investigator's discretion.ResultsOf 303 evaluable patients with PHPT, 134 (44%) had symptoms at diagnosis (mostly bone pain (58) or renal stones (50)). Mean albumin-corrected serum calcium (ACSC) at baseline was 11.4 mg/dl (2.9 mmol/l). The reasons for prescribing cinacalcet included: surgery deemed inappropriate (35%), patient declined surgery (28%) and surgery failed or contraindicated (22%). Mean cinacalcet dose was 43.9 mg/day ...

Most of solutions are relying on ontologies. However, there are many problems of using ontologies. This paper proposes an approach to represent dynamic web page contents retrieved from underlying database, into Concept Description Language (CDL) semantic format. This format does not depend on ontologies. However, CDL describes semantic structure of web content based on a set of predefined concepts and semantic relations. A prototype of the proposed approach is implemented to show visibility of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we report the synthesis of N-substituted-3-nitrophthalimide derivatives II–III, the reactions of phthalimide III with amines, hydrazines, and amino acid derivatives to synthesise a small library of 3-substituted-5-nitroquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones IV–XIV and 2,3-di-substituted-6-nitro-quinazolineones XVIII–XIX.

This study was a prospective evaluation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) and hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS), using ""Tc Mebrofenin, to detect early biliary complications following OLT.

Side-to-side anastomosis of donor and recipient bile duct has been claimed to be superior to end-to-end anastomosis in uncontrolled studies. Methods A total of 100 consecutive patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were randomized after commencement of the transplant procedure to end-to-end or side-to-side anastomosis. No T tube drainage was employed. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was performed 2 weeks after transplantation and findings were reported by an experienced endoscopist as normal, leak or stricture. Median follow-up was 53 (range 35–63) months. Results Patient age, sex, the graft preservation time and indication for transplantation were similar in both groups. Sixty patients received end-to-end and 40 side-to-side anastomosis. Ten patients randomized to side-to-side anastomosis had an end-to-end procedure. The total number of biliary complications was similar in both grou...

There was no interaction between pH, degree of comminution and storage time for most of the attributes measured. Regardless of storage time or comminution method, high pH meat had significantly (P<0.001) higher sarcoplasmic protein solubility, water

Myoelectric activity was recorded using gastric, duodenal, and jejunal electrodes. Intragastric pressure was monitored via a gastric fistula, and ICV injections were given through a cerebroventricular guide. Recordings were made with no ICV injection and before and after 250-microliters bolus injections of vehicle as control (0.1% dog serum albumin in saline) or 500 pmol/kg NPY. The mean interval between MMCs was 98 +/- 10 min without ICV injection and 96 +/- 7 min after control solution. After ICV injection of NPY no further MMCs were recorded in any dog, even though the study was continued for a minimum of 3.5 h. Instead, the myoelectric pattern became indistinguishable from that in fed dogs. We conclude that central NPY plays a role in modulation of upper gastrointestinal myoelectric activity. This may reflect a central regulatory role for NPY in the coordination of feeding.

The paper discusses the effect of image blurring to build data manifolds using PCA and the different ways to construct these manifolds. In_order to classify the hand shape of an incoming sign object and to be invariant to linear transformations like translation and rotation, a multistage hierarchical classifier structure is used. Computer generated images for different Irish Sign Language shapes are used in testing. Experimental results are given to show the accuracy and performance of the proposed algorithm. I.
