Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) I/III deficiency can be inherited as autosomal dominant (AD) or as recessive (AR) traits in which mono- or bi-allelic MAT1A mutations have been identified, respectively. Although most patients have benign clinical outcomes, some with the AR form have neurological deficits. Here we describe 16 Korean patients with MAT I/III deficiency from 15 unrelated families

In this paper a robust method is presented for the combined design of STATCOM and Power System Stabilizer (PSS) controllers in order to enhance the damping of the low frequency oscillations in power systems. The combined design problems among PSS and STATCOM internal ac and dc voltage controllers has been taken into consideration. The equations that describe the proposed system have been linearize

Doctors are expected to serve the patient in an unbiased and medically accurate manner. Yet, this does not prevent doctors and other medical staff from having pronounced views on whether the patient deserves care. Based on field notes from a cardiology clinic, this contradiction is discussed and analyzed. In directing the spotlight on what circumstances are pointed out by the staff when discussing

OBJECTIVE: Umbilical cord acid-base analysis is fundamental for assessing intrapartum hypoxia. The accuracy of arterial umbilical cord blood lactate, pH and base deficit to reflect a low 5-minute Apgar score and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) stage 2-3 was assessed, and new gestational age-adjusted reference standards were compared with traditional stationary reference values. DESIGN AND SA

An upper bound on the first-event error probability for maximum-likelihood decoding of fixed binary convolutional codes on the binary symmetric channel is derived. The bound is evaluated for rate1/2codes, and comparisons are made with simulations and with the bounds of Viterbi, Van de Meeberg, and Post. In particular, the new bound is significantly better than Van de Meeberg's bound for rates abov

Descibes capacity planning methods used in Swedish manufacturing companies. The paper also describes why they are used and how they ae used.The results are based on a survey study.

PURPOSE: Preoperative localization procedures and the use of intraoperative parathyroidism (iOPTH) have led to a shift of paradigm from bilateral neck exploration to focused parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). However, only a small number of randomized trials from specialized centers have been published. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the impact of localization p
