OPTIMIZING HOMEOSTATIC CELL RENEWAL IN HIERARCHICAL TISSUES.

Optimizing homeostatic cell renewal in hierarchical tissues.

In order to maintain homeostasis, mature cells removed from the top Dog and Cat compartment of hierarchical tissues have to be replenished by means of differentiation and self-renewal events happening in the more primitive compartments.As each cell division is associated with a risk of mutation, cell division patterns have to be optimized, in order

Evaluation of the reliability of reinforced concrete beams on a stochastically inhomogeneous elastic foundation under the action of a non-stationary random load

The results of the evaluation of the reliability of reinforced concrete beams lying on an elastic foundation are presented.The load on the beam is considered as a non-stationary random function, the elastic properties of the foundation are described Seeds as a stationary random function.Beam stiffness is considered as a random variable depending on

EARLY GASTRIC METASTASIS OF BREAST CARCINOMA: REPORT OF A CASE

The most common dissemination sites of breast carcinoma are the Dog and Cat lungs, bone and liver.Metastatic spread to the stomach may occur many years after the initial treatment for breast cancer.It may prove very diffi cult to distinguish from a primary gastric cancer on clinical, endoscopic, radiological and histopathological features.Here, we

Playing the pipes: acoustic sensing and machine learning for performance feedback during endotracheal intubation simulation

Objective: In emergency medicine, airway management is a core skill that includes endotracheal intubation (ETI), a common technique that can result in ineffective ventilation and laryngotracheal injury if executed incorrectly.We present a method for automatically generating performance feedback during ETI simulator training, potentially augmenting
