Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Medicine - Biomedical Engineering, University Lubeck, course: Medizintechnik, language: English, abstract: Diseases of the kidney like glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis and polycystic kidneys can constrain the function of the kidney, depending on the type of disease a kidney failure can occur. When kidneys stop working or when less than 15% of the kidneys are working this is called kidney failure. As a result toxic substances as for example urea are accumulated in the body, this leads to symptons such as headache, loss of appetite and high blood pressure. The two main reasons of kidney failure are Diabetis and high blood pressure. So especially all diabetics have to take care of screening for complications every year. In this thesis Dialysis, the treatment of kidney failure, and the principle that is behind it will be discussed in detail.

Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Medicine - Surgery, Sports Medicine, grade: Excellent, Maastricht University, language: English, abstract: The goal of this systematic review was to find evidence for a correlation between carotid artery stenosis and perioperative stroke in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Articles were searched in NCBI Pubmed, and appraised based on several criteria, to explore the evidence for a correlation between carotid stenosis and perioperative stroke. A total of 96 articles were found with the search strategy. Also references as well as related articles were screened. A total of six articles matched the criteria and results were accurately analysed. Concluding, the incidence of carotid stenosis is signifiantly higher in stroke patients, comparted to patients without stroke. However, carotid stenosis is the aetiological factor of stroke in just a little number of patients, who suffer from stroke and is more likely an additional co-morbidity, without an independent correlation.

The use of international trusts continues to expand, and practitioners increasingly need to be aware of cross-border considerations. This title provides a concise and practical overview of the key aspects of law and practice in all the key jurisdictions offering trusts.
Private and commercial trusts are established under the law of an increasing number of jurisdictions, which are competing to attract trust business, and these laws are often dissimilar. As international trusts mature, established trust jurisdictions are changing their laws to comply with the legal demands and standards imposed by international agencies, as well as to meet the legitimate expectations of the institutional investor. The courts of international centers are also developing their own jurisprudence. In addition, jurisdictions new to trusts are introducing trusts in the vehicles which they offer investors, and legislation from these new trust centers is opening up new routes for international investment and tax mitigation.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering all the key on-shore and off-shore jurisdictions that practitioners typically encounter. It offers a very practical overview of the subject using a questionnaire format for each country, avoiding academic material, and giving concise answers to the sorts of frequently asked questions that arise in trust law and practice. The questionnaire covers a full range of subjects such as the mechanics of trusts, issues such as anti-money laundering laws and conflicts of laws, shams, protectors, and forced heirship as well as the different types of trusts used in a jurisdiction.
Formerly an annual special issue in the journal Trusts & Trustees, this title has been improved and extended with a reworked questionnaire, new countries and contributors, and a new editor, Charles Gothard.

While the length and contents of these abstracts vary, most of them provide the name of the testator, date of the will, names and relationships of all heirs to the estate (sometimes with ages given or inferred), contents of the estate, names of executors, and, usually, the date of probate.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Medicine - Human Genetics, grade: 1,0, University of Vienna (Institut fur Ernahrungswissenschaften), 96 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a triathlon (3.8 km swim, 180 km cycle, 42,2 km run) on the genomic stability of nine highly trained non- professional athletes. Therefore, the SCE assay, a relevant biological response marker for genotoxicity in human biomonitoring studies PENDZICH et al., 1997] was performed using peripheral lymphocytes, on account of their effortless accessibility WILKOSCY and RYNARD, 1990]. Duplicate lymphocyte cell cultures, of each participant, were incubated for 72 h (37 C, 5% CO2) according to a short-term human lymphocyte cell culture. For each participant at least 50 metaphases, containing 43-46 chromosomes were scored, to evaluate the mean SCE frequency. The number of SCEs per cell was calculated to a chromosome set of a normal diploid human cell, containing 46 chromosomes. In the present study the alteration of SCE frequency, 48 h pre- and 24 h postrace was evaluated. As an additional endpoint Top 5 HFCs (highest five absolute SCE means) were assayed. It could be demonstrated that both the total mean SCE frequency and the mean Top 5 HFC frequency (n=9) 24 h postrace were significantly decreased (*p

Lawyers or Grave Robbers? Is a book that asks the question? Is it possible for a lawyer who acts as an executor of a deceased estate to become a grave robber? Lawyers or Grave Robbers? Tells a story about a lawyer/executor who empowers himself over a family by remaining unaccountable for his actions through legal instruments. The lawyer/executor claims client legal privilege over documents he states override a decision made by the deceased's family in relation to an interpretation of her will. The decision by the lawyer splits the family and costs the estate an extra $60,000 in legal fees and an additional $60,000 due to his mismanagement of the estate. Lawyers or Grave Robbers? Illustrates the incapacity of the government regulators and politicians to prevent this type of legal empowerment over families by an unaccountable lawyer/executor. Lawyers or Grave Robbers? Investigates this problem in detail and searches for solutions in order to prevent further abuse by such professionals upon venerable and innocent families. Lawyers or Grave Robbers? Identifies the need for our legal profession to develop quality standards, accreditation for lawyers who act as executors of deceased estates. Lawyers or Grave Robbers? Calls for a simpler and less informal mechanism to help families resolve estate disagreements. A mechanism which does not involve an outdated inefficient and costly process. A process which damages families and redistributes wealth from our communities into the hands of the privileged legal profession.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.0, Free University of Berlin (Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Department Bioinfomatics), 37 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Abstract: The inverse EEG problem is a well-studied, ill-posed problem in mathematics and neuroinformatics. Given a record of a limited number of electrodes (e.g. 21) that are placed on scalp, it is the task to estimate a three dimensional distribution of neural currents in the brain. The actual thesis deals with this problem and proposes a propabilistic Bayesian approach that assumes the distribution of neural currents to be heterogeneous - active and inactive regions in the brain are expected. This can be formalized with a mixture distribution. Furthermore, an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is presented that performs simultaneous classification and computation of neural currents, given an EEG measurement. Zusammenfassung: Diese Bachelorarbeit thematisiert das inverse EEG Problem. Dies ist ein umfangreich beschriebenes, schlecht gestelltes mathematisches Problem in der medizinischen Visualisierung. Bei einer EEG-Messung werden eine bestimmte Anzahl (z.B. 21) Elektroden an der Kopfhaut angebracht und elektrische Strome dort detektiert. Das hier beschriebene Problem besteht darin, aus dieser Messung eine dreidimensionales Verteilung neuronaler Gehirnstrome zu rekonstruieren. Es wird ein propabilistischer Bayesianischer Ansatz vorgestellt, um dieses Problem zu losen. Dabei wird angenommen, dass die Verteilung neuronaler Strome heterogen ist - es gibt aktive und nicht-aktive Bereiche im Gehirn. Dies wird mathematisch mit einer Mischverteilung formalisiert. Dieser Ansatz ermoglicht Gehirnstrome sowohl zu berechnen, also auch zu klassifizieren. Ein entsprechender EM Algorithmus, der dies simultan durchfuhrt, wird vorgestellt.

Hierdie is die uitgawe van die title wat in vorige uitgawes bekend was as onderskeidelik Erfreg: Studentehandboek en inleiding tot die Erfreg. Die title is nog steeds primer bedoel as handboek vir studente in die erfreg. Tog het die aard daarvan deur die verskillende uitgawes sodanig verander dat 'n meer algemene titel vir hierdie uitgawe as geregverdig beskou is. Sedert die vorige uitgawe was daar verskeie belangrike ontwikkelings in die erfreg, hoofsaaklik deur die regspraak. Hieronder tel die invloed van die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, 1996 (spesifiek die handves van regte) op testeervryheid, die uitbreiding van die toepassing van die Wet op Intestate Erfopvolging 81 van 1987 en die kondonasiebevoegdheid van die hof by die verlyding, wysiging en herroeping van testamente. Die huidige uitgawe poog om hierdie en ook ander ontwikkelings op die gebied van die erfreg te weerspieel.

This book centers on estate planning with code sections, regulations, court cases and experiences involved in estate planning. It was written over 5 years with excitement, pain, love and hate. It was designed for the regular person to understand because the Internal Revenue Code is not user-friendly, never was and never will be until Congress decides differently. While there are technical areas in this book, there is also an effort to explain those areas in everyday terms so the reader can easily get the point of estate planning. You must read the section on Being A Consultant - Absolutely Brutal!

The present collection of essays addresses the development of Ukrainian private law in the course of its ongoing Europeanization. This process is determined by the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, which was concluded in 2014 and obliges Ukraine to implement a diverse number of European legal acts in its national legal system, aiming to achieve the economic integration of Ukraine into the EU internal market. Nevertheless, it would be inaccurate to describe the process of integrating Ukrainian private law into the European Area of Justice as solely the implementation of the Community acquis. Rather, the Europeanization of Ukrainian private law is part of a value-based Europeanization of the entire Ukrainian society.
