Toll-like receptors of the human immune system are specialized pathogen detectors able to link innate and adaptive immune responses.TLR ligands include among others bacteria-, mycoplasma- or virus-derived compounds such as lipids, lipo- and glycoproteins and nucleic acids.Not only are genetic variations in TLR-related genes associated with the path
This work expands a previous block-partitioned quantum cellular automata (BQCA) model proposed by Brennen and Williams [Phys.Rev.A.68, 042311 (2003)] to W Bags incorporate physically realistic error models.These include timing errors in the form of over- and under-rotations of quantum states during computational gate sequences, stochastic phase and
We researched the qualitative changes in the polyethylene of a bipolar head retrieved at revision occurring in vivo using optical microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The bearing surface of the outer head was smooth with Briefs no definable scratches delamination.However, the evidence of delamination of the beveled throat region a
Yellow nail syndrome is a rare cause of edema due to a disordered lymphatic drainage.We recently observed two cases of long-standing, chronic edema, whose nature could not be understood despite innumerable diagnostic procedures.The diagnosis was suspected based on an attentive FLAHLIGHTS clinical exam and confirmed by radionuclide lymph scan.Yellow
