How I treat thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome [PDF]
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) are acute, rare life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathies that require rapid diagnosis and treatment.

Soft Syndrome Decoding of Quantum LDPC Codes for Joint Correction of Data and Syndrome Errors [PDF]
Quantum errors are primarily detected and corrected using the measurement of syndrome information which itself is an unreliable step in practical error correction implementations. Typically, such faulty or noisy syndrome measurements are modeled as a binary measurement outcome flipped with some probability.

Quantum Data-Syndrome Codes [PDF]
Performing active quantum error correction to protect fragile quantum states highly depends on the correctness of error information--error syndromes. To obtain reliable error syndromes using imperfect physical circuits, we propose the idea of quantum data-syndrome (DS) codes that are capable of correcting both data qubits and syndrome bits errors.

Open-source genomic analysis of Shiga-toxin–producing E. coli O104:H4 [PDF]
An outbreak caused by Shiga-toxin–producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 occurred in Germany in May and June of 2011, with more than 3000 persons infected. Here, we report a cluster of cases associated with a single family and describe an open-source genomic

Adult hemolytic uremic syndrome
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), described in 1955, is characterized by the triad of non-immune mediated hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. Shiga toxin, produced most frequently by E coli O157:H, is involved in its pathogenesis.

The histopathological changes associated with allograft rejection and drug toxicity in renal transplant recipients maintained on FK506: Clinical significance and comparison with cyclosporine [PDF]
The histopathological changes in 51 renal allograft biopsies from patients immunosuppressed with FK506 were compared with those seen in 30 needle biopsies obtained from patients on cyclosporine.

Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome [PDF]
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. The atypical form of HUS is a disease characterized by complement overactivation. Inherited defects in complement genes and acquired autoantibodies against complement regulatory proteins have been described.

Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy as a cause of acute kidney injury in dogs in the UK [PDF]
To describe the signalment, clinicopathological findings and outcome in dogs presenting with acute kidney injury (AKI) and skin lesions between November 2012 and March 2014, in whom cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) was suspected and ...

Robust Syndrome Extraction via BCH Encoding [PDF]
Quantum data-syndrome (QDS) codes are a class of quantum error-correcting codes that protect against errors both on the data qubits and on the syndrome itself via redundant measurement of stabilizer group elements. One way to define a QDS code is to choose a syndrome measurement code, a classical block code that encodes the syndrome of the underlying ...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome linked to infectious mononucleosis [PDF]
A 12-month-old boy developed a mild hemolytic uremic syndrome with no acute diarrheal prodrome. The typical clinical, hematological, and serological features of infectious mononucleosis were also noted.
