AIM Elevation of inflammation markers, high heart rate, and reduced heart-rate variability are all strong markers of mortality in a broad spectrum of patients. The association between these markers has not been clarified thoroughly. We investigated the associations between markers of inflammation, heart rate, and heart-rate variability. METHODS AND RESULTS Six hundred and forty-three healthy ...

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) technique is used as a performing technique to assess the variability of protein expression in crops, and especially soybean endogenous food allergens, which are a subset of proteins of interest for assessing whether genetically modified (GM) soybean has a different allergenic profile compared to its non-GM counterpart. On top of the biological variabi...

The 24-hour urine proteinuria or albuminuria ratio is still prescribed for protein detection in urine, despite the fact that it has been replaced by protein/creatininuria ratio. use of this eliminates misinterpretation proteinuria. objective development to clarify importance search albumin urine. We conducted a review literature focusing on different diagnostic recommendations. Indeed, collecti...

glaucoma, a group of multifactor ocular diseases, is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. primary open angle (poa) is the most common type of glaucoma, characterized by progressive optic nerve degeneration. numerous genes and proteins have been revealed to be associated with poag, but the pathologic mechanisms of the disease are still poorly understood. proteomics, the collective st...

this study investigates the atmospheric circulation associated with extreme rainfall events over the coastal west africa. the rainfall data of this study were obtained from the global precipitation climatology centre (gpcc), spanning from 1981 to 2010. the atmospheric datasets were also obtained from the era-interim reanalysis. the study employed the z-index to categorize dry and wet years into...

DNA arrays have been widely used to perform transcriptome-wide analysis of gene expression, and many methods have been developed to measure gene expression variability and to compare gene expression between conditions. Because RNA-seq is also becoming increasingly popular for transcriptome characterization, the possibility exists for further quantification of individual alternative transcript i...

Summer maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the dominant crops in the North China Plain (NCP). Its growth is greatly influenced by the spatial-temporal variation of climatic variables, especially solar radiation, temperature and rainfall. The WOFOST (version 7.1) model was applied to evaluate the impact of climatic variability on summer maize yields using historical meteorological data from 1961 to 20...

We undertook a comprehensive review of the literature to unravel the nature of the variability in the reported rate of human muscle protein synthesis. We analyzed the results from studies that report the protein fractional synthesis rate (FSR) in the vastus lateralis in healthy, nonobese, untrained adults ≤50 yr of age in the postabsorptive state at rest by using the primed, constant tracer ami...
