(2015-09)
The porokeratoses are a group of disorders of
abnormal epidermal keratinization resulting in the
characteristic histologic feature of the cornoid
lamella. Several clinical variants of porokeratosis
exist, which are ...
EphrinA1-Fc attenuates myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury in mice
(2017-12-13)
EphrinA1, a membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinase ligand expressed in healthy car- diomyocytes, is lost in injured cells following myocardial infarction. Previously, we have reported that a single intramyocardial injection ...
Functional imaging of cognition in an old-old population: A case for portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy
(2017-10-12)
In this study, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to record brain activa- tion during cognitive testing in older individuals (88±6yo; N = 19) living in residential care communities. This population, ...
Prognostic factor from MR spectroscopy in rat with astrocytic tumour during radiation therapy
(2015-01)
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between the tumour volume and metabolic rates of astrocytic tumours using MR spectroscopy (MRS) during radiation therapy (RT).
Methods:
12 healthy male Sprague-Dawley® rats ...
Self-similarity and non-Markovian behavior in traded stock volumes
(2015)
The volume traded daily for 17 stocks is followed over a period of about half a century. We look at
the volume of stocks traded in a certain time interval (day, week, month) and analyze how long that traded
volume keeps ...
Removal of Thin Clouds in Landsat-8 OLI Data with Independent Component Analysis
(2015)
An approach to remove clouds in Landsat-8 operational land imager (OLI) data
was developed with independent component analysis (ICA). Within cloud-covered areas,
histograms were derived to quantify changes of the reflectance ...
Prevalence of coronary heart disease risk factors in physical education students
(2015)
Abstract To establish the prevalence of coronary risk in physical education students, and compare risk between the genders and the years of course. We evaluated 246 physical education students using RISKO questionnaire to ...
MicroRNA profiling in the left atrium in patients with non-valvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
(2015)
identifying miRNAs that were significantly associated with non-valvular paroxysmal AF.
Methods: The RNA samples were isolated from healthy controls (n = 5) and patients with atrial fibrillation (n = 8). To
confirm the ...
Gemella Species Bacteremia and Stroke in an Elderly Patient with Respiratory Tract Infection
(2017-01-02)
Gemella species are part of normal human flora. They are rarely associated with infections. As opportunistic pathogens, they can cause life-threatening infection in individuals with risk factors. We present an unusual case ...
Characterization and Expression of the Nuclear Progestin Receptor in Zebrafish Gonads and Brain
(2010-01-01)
The zebrafish nuclear progestin receptor (nPR; official symbol PGR) was identified and characterized to better understand its role in regulating reproduction in this well-established teleost model. A full-length cDNA was ...
