Abstract Aims To describe heparin dosing requirements in patients who underwent catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation with uninterrupted anticoagulation using dabigatran etexilate (dabigatran) or warfarin to attain therapeutic activated clotting time (ACT) in the RE...

Let G be a finitely generated, torsion-free, two-step nilpotent group. Let C^*(G) be the universal C^*-algebra of G. We show that acsr(C^*(G)) = acsr(C((\hat{G})_1)), where for a unital C^*-algebra A, acsr(A) is the absolute connected stable rank of A, and (\hat{G})_1 i...

In the past five years photoluminescence (PL) of SWNTs has gone from discoveryto one of the most actively researched areas, with broad impact on the basic scienceof SWNTs, as well as the promise of applications. The simplest free-carrier models ofperfect semiconducting ...

Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) causes pulmonary vascular remodelling and can develop pulmonary hypertension (PH), resulting in a poorer prognosis. We hypothesized that endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodelling in PH secondary to IPF enhance pro-fi...

Strong anisotropic behavior of the 13C nuclear spin dynamics, namely, orientation dependent transient oscillation frequency of the spin locking cross polarization of the Cα carbon magnetization, the nuclear Overhauser enhancement, and the spin‐lattice relaxation times f...

1003 Background: The AR may be a therapeutic target for pts with androgen-driven TNBC. ENZA, a potent AR inhibitor, is approved in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and improves median PFS compared to bicalutamide in men with mCRPC (15.7 v...

The bacterial chromosome is organized into loops, which constitute topologically isolated domains. It is unclear which proteins are responsible for the formation of the topological barriers between domains. The abundant DNA-binding histone-like nucleoid structuring prot...

Successful mass drug administration (MDA) campaigns have brought several countries near the point of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) elimination. A diagnostic tool is needed to determine when the prevalence levels have decreased to a point that MDA campaigns can be discontinu...
