Developed in 1992, the flow-mediated dilation test is now the most commonly used
noninvasive assessment of vascular endothelial function in humans. Since its inception …

The K2K experiment observes indications of neutrino oscillation: a reduction of ν μ flux
together with a distortion of the energy spectrum. Fifty-six beam neutrino events are …

We present measurements of ν μ disappearance in K2K, the KEK to Kamioka long-baseline
neutrino oscillation experiment. One-hundred and twelve beam-originated neutrino events …

We have determined the ratios of total to selective extinction in the near-infrared bands (J, H,
K s) toward the Galactic center from the observations of the region∣ l∣≲ 2 fdg 0 and 0 fdg …

We have determined interstellar extinction law toward the Galactic center (GC) at the
wavelength from 1.2 to 8.0 μm, using point sources detected in the IRSF/SIRIUS near …

Background: Mikulicz's disease (MD) has been considered as one manifestation of
Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Recently, it has also been considered as an IgG4-related disorder …

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is characterized by severe optic neuritis and transverse myelitis.
The relationship of NMO to multiple sclerosis (MS) has long been debated, but NMO has …

Abstract In 30 of 1,002 consecutive patients who had left heart catheterization and
cineangiography for evaluation of either ischemic heart disease or cardiomyopathy the …

We have determined the ratios of total to selective extinction directly from observations in the
optical V band and near-infrared J band toward the Galactic center. The OGLE (Optical …

Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop clinical practice guideline (CPG) for
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) based on recently available clinical and therapeutic evidences …
