Abstract Background and Aims Impaired renal function is one of the most relevant factors associated to crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN) prognosis. However, remission has not yet been defined clinicians are required use systemic scores (such as BVAS) predict severity. In this retrospective study, we aim describe long-term chronic dialysis incidence survival in CGN. Method We included all biop...

To the Editor: Human chorionic gonadotropin (CG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone composed of noncovalently associated and subunits that are synthesized by trophoblastic tissue in pregnancy. Systemic modification and degradation of the intact CG molecule and subunits leads to molecular heterogeneity in the serum and urine (1 ). The subunit is a component of nicked CG (CGn), CG -subunit (...

Abstract Influenza virus and coronavirus, belonging to enveloped RNA viruses, are major causes of human respiratory diseases. The aim this study was investigate the broad spectrum antiviral activity a naturally existing sulfated polysaccharide, lambda-carrageenan (?-CGN), purified from marine red algae. Cell culture-based assays revealed that macromolecule efficiently inhibited both influenza A...

In this paper, we report on quantitative research into certain word order phenomena in Dutch. In our research, we use the Spoken Dutch Corpus (CGN), a major new resource for research into contemporary spoken Dutch. After briefly introducing the primary data, the annotations added, and some of the tools to explore the primary data and the annotations, we illustrate how the Corpus may be utilized...

The normal equations constructed by a Toeplitz matrix are studied, in order to nd a suitable preconditioner related to the discrete sine transform. New results are given about the structure of the product of two Toeplitz matrices, which allow the CGN method to achieve a superlinear rate of convergence. This preconditioner outperforms the circulant one for the iterative solution of Toeplitz leas...

Objective To perform a systematic review of the literature evaluating clinical characteristics and management cervical ganglioneuromas (CGNs). Data Sources PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases were searched. such as patient demographics, imaging, treatments obtained. Review Methods Pertinent studies downloaded, full text was reviewed by 4 authors (N.P., S.S., C.F., D.T.). Results reported...

We compare machine learning approaches for sentence length reduction for automatic generation of subtitles for deaf and hearing-impaired people with a method which relies on hand-crafted deletion rules. We describe building the necessary resources for this task: a parallel corpus of examples of news broadcasts of the Flemish VRT broadcasting corporation, and a Dutch shallow parser based on the ...

Object tracking through multiple cameras is a popular research topic in security and surveillance systems especially when human objects are the target. However, occlusion is one of the challenging problems for the tracking process. This paper proposes a multiple-camera-based cooperative tracking method to overcome the occlusion problem.  The paper presents a new model for combining convolutiona...

Goal striving promotes hope and enhances motivation, which is important for psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery. The Collaborative Goal Technology (CGn is a new goal striving intervention that is used to support the autonomy and recovery processes of the person with a psychiatric disability. The CGT protocol and its utility are outlined. Theory and research from goal striving, motivation a...
