The prognosis of lupus nephritis in children

Introduction: Lupus nephritis is a systemic disease which affects different organs. The present study was designed to review lupus nephritis, in children its outcome and the related factors. Methods: We reviewed 48 children with lupus nephritis. Clinical and epidemiological features were studied. The patients’ outcomes and related factors were analyzed. Patient and renal survival rate were ca...

Decentralized prognosis of fuzzy discrete-event systems

This paper gives a decentralized approach to the problem of failure prognosis in the framework of fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). A notion of co-predictability is formalized for decentralized prognosis of FDESs, where several local agents with fuzzy observability rather than crisp observability are used in the prognosis task. An FDES is said to be co-predictable if each faulty event can be...

Decompressive Craniectomy in Traumatic Brain Injury:Factors Influencing Prognosis and Outcome

Background and Aim: Decompressive craniectomy can be life-saving for patients with severe traumatic brain injury, but many questions about its ideal application, indications, timing, technique, and even the definition of success of decompressive craniectomy remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with prognosis and outcome of patients with traumatic brain inj...

LOX-1 protein, A Biomarker in the Prognosis of Atherosclerosis

LOX-1 is a class E scavenger receptor that mediates the uptake of oxLDL by vascular cells. LOX-1 is involved in endothelial dysfunctions, monocyte adhesion, the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of smooth muscle cells, foam cell formation, platelet activation, as well as plaque instability; all of these events are critical in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. These LOX-1-dependent bio...
