Regulación de la secreción de hormona de crecimiento en el hipercortisolismo endógeno (síndrome de Cushing)
… de crecimiento esta inhibida en el sindrome de cushing, sin embargo se desconocen los mecanismos exactos por los que el hipercortisolismo cronico determina dicha inhibicion. El objetivo de la presente tesis doctoral ha sido intentar aportar algun dato en el esclarecimiento de los posibles …

Nahrungsabhängige ACTH- und Kortisolsekretion bei Patienten mit Nebennieren-Zufallstumor
… Hormonaktivität im Sinne eines subklinischen Cushing-Syndroms und der in Verlaufsstudien festgestellte Progress – bis hin zum manifesten Cushing-Syndroms – erfordern ein sensitives Screening auf hormonelle Aktivität und engmaschige Verlaufskontrollen. In elf publizierten Fällen ist eine …

Discrete and dynamic population models with logistic growth rate
… solution is derived. This provides the first Cushing-Henson conjecture, while a counterexample proves that the classical second Cushing-Henson conjecture is not satisfied. Modifications of the conjecture are formulated. To extend the studies, the Beverton-Holt equation is investigated in the …

Implications of recruitment, distribution and availability of stocks for management of South Africa's Western Cape purse-seine fishery
… waters of the southern Benguela Current system (Cushing 1969). Management of the multi-species resource is the responsibility of the government's Department of Industries and since 1950 a large volume of data relating to performances of contributing species has been collected. Recent analyses …

In these accounts, clustering is motivated, in part, by shared tastes for combinations of place attributes that attract individuals with interrelated values and similar characteristics or skillsets. In order to test whether political …

Patients with adrenal adenomas and autonomous cortisol secretion. Impact of hypercortisolism on skeletal and adipose tissue mass, measured in abdominal computed tomography
… study Patients: Twenty-five patients with overt Cushing syndrome (CS), 48 patients with mild autonomous cortisol excess (MACE), and 32 patients with a non-functioning adrenal tumor (NFAT) were included. Methods: Medical records were reviewed and body composition measurements (visceral fat [VAT], …

Applications of Proton Transfer Reaction and Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry in Health Monitoring
… two different mouse models of type 2 diabetes (Cushing´s mice and Afmid) were made. The mouse model of Cushing’s syndrome develop excessive circulating glucocorticoid concentrations, which are associated with obesity, hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance. The Afmid knockout mice suffer …

An in-depth analysis of guesser behavior
We propose a methodology to perform an in-depth analysis on different password guessers and their guessing abilities. We devise new metrics and statistics that directly compare the types of passwords each guesser generates, extending analysis beyond number of passwords guessed which is the primary …

The Schoolhouse Problem: New Solutions for Preserving Historic and Obsolete Buildings in Rural New Hampshire
What options exist for public or nonprofit stewards of historic buildings in rural New Hampshire to re-use their properties for purposes other than museums? Over 200 historical societies exist in the Granite State, and of those, more than 40 own or manage multiple properties. These buildings – …

The Use of Hair Cortisol as a Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Patients with a recent Acute Myocardial Infarction
… with cortisol concentrations. Patients with Cushing Disease (CD) are reported to have a higher prevalence of thromboembolic events compared to Cushing Syndrome from adrenal sources, this is thought to be a result of high cortisol levels associated with CD. In this study, STEMIs had the …

A study of disturbance behaviors in Uloborus glomosus (Araneae; Uloboridae) as possible predator avoidance strategies
When touched with a contact stimulus, 50% of adult Uloborus glomosus jumped from the web; 33% remained motionless; 13% moved to the edge of the web; and 4% shook the web. In a population of juveniles, 45% moved to the edge of the web; 27% jumped from the web; 24% shook the web; and 4% remained …
