Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is more common in children than adults with about 80% occurring in children aged less than 15 years. FBA in adults is often overlooked as a potential cause of airway obstruction especially if there is no asphyxiation. We present a case of a 45-year-old male with alcohol abuse who presented with post-obstructive pneumonia secondary to aspiration of tooth of unknown ...

entaksiran tingkah laku fungsional (FBA) adalah satu kaedah yang sering digunakan oleh pendidik untuk mengurangkan bermasalah dalam kalangan MBPK. Tujuan kajian melihat tahap penggunaan FBA guru Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI) serta mengkaji perbezaannya berdasarkan faktor demografi. Kajian juga akan hubungan antara dengan persepsi terhadap keberkesanan pengurusan digunakan. ini tinjau...

The cell surface receptor alpha(v)beta(6) is epithelial specific, and its expression is tightly regulated; it is low or undetectable in adult tissues but has been shown to be increased in many different cancers, including pancreatic, cervical, lung, and colon cancers. Studies have described alpha(v)beta(6) as a prognostic biomarker linked to poor survival. We have recently shown the feasibility...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016214857 DESCRIPTION A healthy 10-year-old boy presented to the emergency department, with a 3-day history of cough and odynophagia, which started after eating squid. On examination, he had decreased breath sounds in the lower half of the right lung. The physical examination was otherwi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the pain-reducing effect of forest bathing alone versus forest bathing in combination with stretching and strengthening exercises in patients with chronic posterior neck pain. METHODS Sixty-four subjects with posterior neck pain that had lasted more than 3 months were enrolled. They were randomly divided into a forest bathing alone (FBA) group and a forest bathing with ex...

MOTIVATION The effort to build a whole-cell model requires the development of new modeling approaches, and in particular, the integration of models for different types of processes, each of which may be best described using different representation. Flux-balance analysis (FBA) has been useful for large-scale analysis of metabolic networks, and methods have been developed to incorporate transcri...

Using protein counts sampled from single cell proteomics distributions to constrain fluxes through a genome-scale model of metabolism, Population flux balance analysis (Population FBA) successfully described metabolic heterogeneity in a population of independent Escherichia coli cells growing in a defined medium. We extend the methodology to account for correlations in protein expression arisin...

The media definitions used for simulations are given in Table S1. The three minimal media are welldefined; the Tryptone media composition is based on the BD Bionutrients Technical Manual. While most metabolite media components are considered exhaustible, some metabolites are present in excess, which is simulated by returning to a preset concentration at every FBA time step. Certain modification...

The unsupervised image-to-image translation aims at finding a mapping between the source (A) and target (B) image domains, where in many applications aligned image pairs are not available at training. This is an ill-posed learning problem since it requires inferring the joint probability distribution from marginals. Joint learning of coupled mappings FAB : A → B and FBA : B → A is commonly used...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease. Insulin resistance (IR) appears to be critical in its pathogenesis. We evaluated the effects of sodium butyrate (butyrate) and its synthetic derivative N-(1-carbamoyl-2-phenyl-ethyl) butyramide (FBA) in a rat model of insulin resistance and steatosis induced by high-fat diet (HFD). MET...
