Abstract Background In 2017, it was recognized that there significant variation in the management and follow-up of Kawasaki disease (KD) at our institution, resulting inefficient use hospital resources patient confusion. A multidisciplinary team from cardiology, rheumatology, emergency medicine, infectious diseases (ID), general paediatrics created a standardized protocol distributed on October...

Kawasaki disease (KD) has complexly clinical features and laboratory parameters and there is no definitive biomarker for this disease and the therapy of KD also is complex and uncertain. In this study, 102 KD patients and 80 healthy controls were enrolled in this study and the serum microRNAs were detected by qRT-PCR. The results showed that, compared with KD patients with a good response to hi...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICH) is one of the most aggressive malignant neoplasms gastrointestinal tract, which accounts for 10–15% all primary liver tumors. Among risk factors ICH in Europe and Russia, diseases accompanied by formation concretions intrahepatic bile ducts, include Karoli's disease (KD), are importance. The article presents a clinical observation HPV that developed against...

In order to provide early intervention for coronary artery lesion (CAL) caused by Kawasaki Disease (KD), we analyzed clinical characteristics of typical and incomplete KD cases from 1998 to 2008 in Northwest and Central China. A total of 383 patients included 298 cases of typical KD and 85 cases of incomplete KD. The morbidity of incomplete KD was 28.5%, a percentage significantly lower than th...

Coronary artery (CA) abnormalities influence exercise capacity (EC) of patients with Kawasaki disease (KD), and Z-score of CA is a well established method for detecting CA aneurysm. We studied the influence of KD on cardiopulmonary function and EC; meanwhile we analyzed echocardiographic findings of KD patients. We also assessed the correlation between CA Z-score and EC of KD patients to see if...

This paper describes a novel importance sampling method with applications in multimodal optimization. Based on initial results, the method seems suitable for real-time computer vision, and enables an efficient frame-by-frame global search with no initialization step. The method is based on importance sampling with adaptive subdivision, developed by Kajiya, Painter, and Sloan in the context of s...
