“…RESULTS: The nomograms of recurrence and OS based on preoperative serological indicators (HBV-DNA, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, a-fetoprotein), tumor clinicopathologic features (diameter, number), surgical margin and postoperative adjuvant TACE achieved high C-indexes of 0.722 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.711-0.732) and 0.759 (95% CI, 0.747-0.771) in the training cohort, respectively, which were significantly higher than conventional HCC staging systems (BCLC, CNLC, HKLC).The nomograms were validated in the internal validation cohort (0.747 for recurrence, 0.758 for OS) and external validation cohort(0.719 for recurrence, 0.714 for OS) had well-fitted calibration curves. …”

“…Given the probably transient and/or low level of MERS-CoV viremia in dromedaries and the rather high C(t) values observed in the ticks, it seems unlikely that Hyalomma dromedarii is a competent vector for MERS-CoV; however, its role in mechanical or fomite transmission between camels should be investigated.…”

“…When the Cl- concentration is varied simultaneously at both sides of the membrane in resealed ghosts (C(i) = C(o) = C(i = o)), the flux rises toward a flat maximum between 200 and 450 mM Cl-, and then decreases at very high C(i = o). An MM fit to the data with C(i = o) < 500 mM gives K1/2s of 106 +/- 13 mM; fits including modifier site inhibition (MS fit) give an over threefold higher K1/2s. …”

“…CONCLUSION: The lessons gleaned from this synthesis include: (a) the consistency of the stakeholders with a common vision, was an important strength in overcoming obstacles, (b) senior politicians often steered the policy agenda when the policy in question was a 'crisis event', the stakes and the visibility were high, (c) national stakeholders in policy making have an advantage in strengthening alliances with international organizations, where the latter can become extremely influential in solving bottlenecks as the need arises, and (d) conflict can be turned into an opportunity, for example the Presidential initiative has inadvertently provided Tanzania with important lessons in the organization of 'catch-up' campaigns.…”
