Hebrews 6:19: Analysis of Some Assumptions Concerning Katapetasma (1987)

Commentators on the book of Hebrews are practically unanimous regarding four assumptions upon which they base their interpretation of the term katapetasma, "veil," at 6:19 (and also elsewhere in the book).These are: (1) that tou katapetasmatos in the phrase eis to esdteron tou katapetasmatos at 6:19 is the second veil of the tabernacle structure, namely the veil that separates the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place; (2) that to esdteron, "the [place] within," in the same phrase refers to the inner shrine or Most Holy Place; (3) that God the Father's presence within the OT sanctuary was to be found only in the Most Holy Place; and (4) that ta hagia (lit., "the holies") in chap.9 refers to the Most Holy Place.In other words, it is assumed that the sanctuary language and imagery of the book of Hebrews reflects the second-apartment and Day-of-Atonement ritual.Space will not permit an examination here of all four of these assumptions, but only the first two-those regarding the meaning of the terms katapetasma and esdteron in Heb 6:19.If there is doubt as to the validity of these first two assumptions, then the third and fourth ones are also open to question and will demand new investigation.

A Light and Electron Microscopic Study of Peroxidase Localization in the Onion Root Tip (1975)

Peroxidase activity in the onion root tip was localized by the diaminobenzidine procedure and studied at the light and electron microscope levels. Reaction product was observed in the cell wall, on the plasmalemma, in the Golgi apparatus cisternae and vesicles, in young and developing vacuoles, in the endoplasmic reticulum, and on both soluble and membrane-bound ribosomes. The reaction product at the various cellular and subcellular sites occurs in distinct tissue and developmental patterns.
Increased Vascularity of the Bronchial Mucosa in Mild Asthma (1997)

Airway-wall remodeling leading to thickening of the bronchial wall in asthma has been invoked to account for airflow obstruction and increased bronchial reactivity to provocative stimuli. Bronchial-wall changes characteristic of asthma are thought to include increased vascularity with vasodilatation. The contention that inflammatory mediators cause bronchial vasodilatation and that growth factors may induce increased vascularity is based on little structural evidence. We took bronchoscopic biopsies from the major airways of 12 subjects with mild asthma and 11 control subjects, and evaluated bronchial vessel numbers and size, using computerized image analysis after staining for type IV collagen in vessel walls. The airways of asthmatic subjects were significantly more vascular (17.2 +/- 4.2 versus 10.3 +/- 1.9%, p < 0.001), with more vessels (738 +/- 150 versus 539 +/- 276 vessels/mm2 [mean +/- SD], p < 0.05) than those of the controls. There were significantly more asthmatic bronchial than control vessels with a cross-sectional area greater than 300 microns2 (19.4 versus 12.7%, p < 0.05). These findings provide the first confirmatory evidence that bronchial biopsies from patients with mild asthma are more vascular than those of normal controls, that there are more vessels in asthmatic airways, and that asthmatic bronchial vessels are larger than controls.
Feature extraction method for proteins based on Markov tripeptide by compressive sensing (2018)

The new features extracted from this model could preserve the maximum information contained in the sequence and reflect the essential properties of the protein. Thus, it is an adequate and potential method in collecting and processing the protein sequence from a large sample size and high dimension.
[Clinico-prognostic analysis of course of thyroid medullary carcinoma]. (2013)

Analysis of localization, character of development, sizes and metastatic potential of tumors in patients, suffering various forms of thyroid medullary carcinoma (THMC), was accomplished, permitting to establish a certain dependence of these characteristics from the recurrence occurrence frequency and lethality in groups of patients, owing different gender. The tumor diameter more than 2 cm and presence of metastases in time with diagnosis establishing have constituted the unfavorable factors, causing lethality enhancement in sporadic form of THMC. In women patients more frequent multifocal development coincide with lesser frequent metastasizing and lesser lethality in comparison with such in men. Lethality in men in sporadic form of THMC is twice as more, than in women patients, and it is explained by tumor diagnosis in them in later stages, although their postoperative life span is longer, taking into account the unfavorable impact of intraoperative age (bigger, than in men) on the results of treatment and prognosis. Lethality in inherited forms of THMC is significantly lesser, than in sporadic form, independently from impact of such existing factors, as more frequent multifocal tumor development, bilateral thyroid affection and similar frequency of metastasizing. In men the metastasizing is occurring more frequently, as it take place in cases of a sporadic form of the disease, causing higher lethality in them, comparing with such in women, suffering inherited forms of THMC.
Effect of lidocaine on the electrophysiological properties of ventricular muscle and Purkinje fibers (1970)

Preparations of right ventricular papillary muscle and false tendon (Purkinje fiber) were obtained from dog hearts, placed in a bath perfused with Tyrode solution, and observed both under control conditions and during exposure to lidocaine in concentrations from 1 x 10(-7) to 5 x 10(-4) mole/liter. Transmembrane voltages were recorded from both ventricular muscle (VM) and Purkinje fibers (PF) of spontaneously beating and electrically driven preparations. Low concentrations (1 x 10(-6) and 1 x 10(-5) mole/liter) attenuated or abolished phase 4 (diastolic) depolarization and spontaneous firing in PF without decreasing their diastolic excitability. Concentrations of 1 x 10(-5) mole/liter produced maximal shortening of both action potential duration (APD) and effective refractory period (ERP) and made the ERP long relative to APD; the latter alteration was more prominent in VM. At concentrations </= 1 x 10(-5) mole/liter, lidocaine either caused a slight increase or no change in peak maximum rate of phase 0 depolarization (V(max)) and membrane responsiveness, the relationship between transmembrane activation voltage (MAV) and V(max) of the resultant action potential; these concentrations had no significant effect on resting potential (RP) in VM, maximal diastolic transmembrane voltage (DTMV(max)) in PF, or action potential amplitude in either fiber type. High (toxic) concentrations (>/= 1 x 10(-4) mole/liter) did not cause further shortening of APD or ERP in either VM or PF but did produce a decrease in peak V(max) of phase 0 and membrane responsiveness. In most cases, these concentrations also caused a decrease in RP or DTMV(max) and action potential amplitude, with progression to bizarre action potential depolarization and inexcitability. These properties of lidocaine are strikingly different from those of quinidine or procaine amide. The mechanisms responsible for lidocaine's in vivo antiarrhythmic action are discussed.

Patterns of relapse during adjuvant trastuzumab therapy (2008)

11540 Background: It is well known that adjuvant trastuzumab (Herceptin [H]), significantly affects the natural history of HER2 3+ breast carcinoma. However, it is less known, what is the pattern of relapse in patients treated with H. The aim of this paper is to determine the incidence and pattern of relapse in high-risk breast cancer patients during adjuvant H treatment. Methods: From September 2006 to September 2007, 86 patients with HER2 3+ early breast cancer were treated with three weekly adjuvant H, after breast surgery, six cycles of FAC chemotherapy.,± postoperative irradiation. Median time to H initiation was 8 weeks (range 7–9 weeks) after the last chemotherapy cycle ± postoperative irradiation. All patients were premenopausal, median age 43 yrs (range 28–53); 29 % were node negative, while median number of positive nodes was 6 (range 1–25); 17.4 % has 4 or more lymph nodes involved; 22% patients has ER+/PGR+ tumors. At the time of this analysis, median number of H was 9 (range 1–17) and median time after initial breast cancer diagnosis was 13 months (range 8–25). All patients had regular clinical examination while radiographic and US/CT procedures were performed at the beginning and end of treatment, or any time upon relapse or symptoms development. Results: Eight patients (9.3%) experienced disease relapse. Median number of H doses at the time of relapse was 13 (range 6–17). Five pts developed local recurrence. Two local relapses were not resectable because of lenticular skin involvement. In one patient contra-lateral breast carcinoma was registered after 8 doses of H. One pt developed bone metastases during last dose of H Only one patient (1.1%) developed multiple visceral metastases (lung, liver and CNS) after 7 cycles of H. After relapse, H was continued only in a patient with HER2 3+ contra lateral breast carcinoma. Conclusions: In our group of 86 high-risk premenopausal patients, 8 (9,3%) developed relapse during adjuvant H treatment. All relapses were clinically detectable or symptomatic. The pattern of relapses confirms the enormous significance of clinical examination, hence 6/8 relapses were detected by simple physical examination and 4/6 pts could be re-treated with potentially curative surgery. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
Rapid Prototyping Applied to Maxillofacial Surgery (2011)

What is rapid prototyping (RP)? The word prototyping was first used in engineering to describe the act of producing a prototype, a unique product, the first product, or a reference model. In the past, prototypes were handmade by sculpting or casting, and their fabrication demanded a long time. Any and every prototype should undergo evaluation, correction of defects and approval before the beginning of its mass or large scale production. Prototypes may also be used for specific or restricted purposes, in which case they are usually called a pre-series model. With the development of information technology, three-dimensional models can be devised and built based on virtual prototypes. Computers can now be used to create accurately detailed projects that can be assessed from different perspectives in a process known as computer-aided design (CAD). To materialize virtual objects using CAD, a computer-aided manufactory (CAM) process has been developed. To transform a virtual file into a real object, CAM operates using a machine connected to a computer, similar to a printer or peripheral device.13 In 1987, Brix and Lambrecht used, for the first time, a prototype in health care. It was a three-dimensional model manufactured using a computer numerical control (CNC) device, a type of machine that was the predecessor of rapid prototyping.6 Some rapid prototyping machines had already been in experimental use in the 1970s, and computed tomography (CT) was invented in the 1960s by Godfrey N Hounsfield, an electronic engineer, in collaboration with Allan McLeod Cormack, a physicist. However, it was only in the 1990s that an actual three-dimensional model was built to reproduce the anatomy of a patient based on CT images obtained during that patient’s examination4, thanks to advances in CT scanner quality and the development of specific software for this purpose. In 1991, human anatomy models produced with a technology called stereolithography were first used in a maxillofacial surgery clinic in Viena.16 Prototyping was developed to respond to the need to test functionality, ergonomics, shape, adaptation and design in production engineering, an area in which the term prototyping is

The challenge of complexity in health care (2001)

This is the first in a series of four articles 

Across all disciplines, at all levels, and throughout the world, health care is becoming more complex. Just 30 years ago the typical general practitioner in the United Kingdom practised from privately owned premises with a minimum of support staff, subscribed to a single journal, phoned up a specialist whenever he or she needed advice, and did around an hour's paperwork per week. The specialist worked in a hospital, focused explicitly on a particular system of the body, was undisputed leader of his or her “firm,” and generally left administration to the administrators. These individuals often worked long hours, but most of their problems could be described in biomedical terms and tackled using the knowledge and skills they had acquired at medical school.

You used to go to the doctor when you felt ill, to find out what was wrong with you and get some medicine that would make you better. These days you are as likely to be there because the doctor (or the nurse, the care coordinator, or even the computer) has sent for you. Your treatment will now be dictated by the evidence—but this may well be imprecise, equivocal, or conflicting. Your declared values and preferences may be used, formally or informally, in a shared management decision about your illness. The solution to your problem is unlikely to come in a bottle and may well involve a multidisciplinary team.

Not so long ago public health was the science of controlling infectious diseases by identifying the “cause” (an alien organism) and taking steps to remove or contain it. Today's epidemics have fuzzier boundaries (one is even known as “syndrome X”1): they are the result of the interplay of genetic predisposition, environmental context, and lifestyle choices.

The development of new devices for accurate radiation dose measurement: a guarded liquid ionization chamber and an electron sealed water calorimeter (2007)

In this work we developed two new devices that aim to improve the accuracy of relative and reference dosimetry for radiation therapy: a guarded liquid ionization chamber (GLIC) and an electron sealed water (ESW) calorimeter. With the GLIC we aimed to develop a perturbation-free energy-independent detector with high spatial resolution for relative dosimetry. We achieved sufficient stability for short-term measurements using the GLIC-03, which has a sensitive volume of approximately 2 mm3. We evaluated ion recombination in pulsed photon beams using a theoretical model and also determined a new empirical method to correct for relative differences in general recombination which could be used in cases where the theoretical model was not applicable. The energy dependence of the GLIC-03 was 1.1% between 6 and 18 MV photon beams. Measurements in the build-up region of an 18 MV beam indicated that this detector produces minimal perturbation to the radiation field and confirmed the validity of the empirical recombination correction. The ESW calorimeter was designed to directly measure absorbed dose to water in clinical electron beams. We obtained reproducible measurements for 6 to 20 MeV beams. We determined corrections for perturbations to the radiation field caused by the glass calorimeter vessel and for conductive heat transfer due to the dose gradient and non-water materials. The overall uncertainty on the ESW calorimeter dose was 0.5% for the 9 to 20 MeV beams and 1.0% for 6 MeV, showing for the first time that the development of a water-calorimeter-based standard for electron beams over a wide range of energies is feasible. Comparison between measurements with the ESW calorimeter and the NRC photon beam standard calorimeter in a 6 MeV beam revealed a discrepancy of 0.7Â±0.2% which is still under investigation. Absorbed-dose beam quality conversion factors in electron beams were measured using the ESW calorimeter for the Exradin A12 and PTW Roos ionization
Aqueous humor interleukin-6 levels in uveitis. (1990)

The level of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the aqueous humor of 24 patients with 2 types of uveitis was measured with a specific bioassay using the murine hybridoma cell line B9. Sixteen patients had Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis (FHC) and 8 had toxoplasma uveitis (TU). Sixty-three percent of each of the FHC and TU groups had raised levels of IL-6 in their aqueous (mean: 543 and 19,228 units/ml respectively). Thirteen control aqueous samples, obtained at surgery for senile cataract, showed IL-6 levels of less than 10 units/ml. Serum obtained at the same time as each aqueous humor sample also showed IL-6 levels of less than 10 units/ml, indicating that the raised levels of IL-6 found in the aqueous of uveitis patients did not result from serum leakage, but from local production. This is the first report on intraocular IL-6 levels, and indicates that IL-6 may play a role as an inflammatory mediator in uveitis.

Electronic structure and band-gap modulation of graphene via substrate surface chemistry (2009)

We have studied the electronic structure of graphene deposited on a SiO2 surface using density functional methods. The band structure of the graphene monolayer strongly depends on surface characteristics of the underlying SiO2 surface; for an oxygen-terminated surface, the monolayer exhibits a finite energy band gap while the band gap is closed when the oxygen atoms on the substrate are passivated with hydrogen atoms. We find that at least a graphene bilayer is required for a near zero energy gap when deposited on a substrate without H-passivation. Our results are discussed in the light of recent experiments.
Determination of total electron content in the ionosphere using GPS technology (2015)

One of major limitations to achieve accuracy when using single frequency GPS receivers is the problem of delays in signal propagation through the ionosphere. The problem is very pronounced during periods of high solar activity, when various processes in ionosphere occur. This paper shows one way to model the ionosphere, which opens the possibility of calculating delays, which can then be applied as a correction during measurement processing. On the other hand, thanks to the knowledge of geodesy and global positioning system, the scientists involved in the ionosphere problem get a very powerful tool that can be used to form a twoor three-dimensional model of the ionosphere. One such two-dimensionаl model is presented in the paper.
