The enhanced release of reactive oxygen species from activated neutrophils plays important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. We previously reported that radon inhalation activates antioxidative functions in various organs of mice. In this study, we examined the protective effects of radon inhalation on dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS) induced colitis in mice which were subjec...

Learners are often reported not to be motivated enough to attend to teacher feedback. Teachers also  tend  to  grade  learners’  writing  samples  when  providing  them  with  corrective  feedback though  they  know  it  may  divert  their  attention  away  from  teacher  feedback.  However,  not grading learner writings does not seem to be an option due to both learners’ demands for it and ins...

Die Semantik von Datenstromsystemen (DSS) ist bislang nicht standardisiert. Für Anwendungsentwickler ist es jedoch wichtig zu wissen, wie sich ein bestimmtes System in einer bestimmten Situation verhält. Ebenso bedeutsam ist das Verhalten für föderierte Datenstromsysteme, die Anfragen automatisch auf verschiedene DSS verteilen. Als Hilfsmittel zur Beschreibung können semantische Modelle dienen....

In 2005 the Journal of Information Technology article ‘A critical analysis of decision support systems research’ analyzed 1020 decision support systems (DSS) articles from 1990 to 2003. Since 2003 business intelligence (BI) and business analytics have gained popularity in practice. In theory and research the period since 2003 has seen a change in the decision-making theory orthodoxy and the cod...

Objectives: (i) To compare the quality of clinicians’ decisions made with and without computerised triple assessment decision support (TADS) during assessment of women referred to specialist breast cancer units, (ii) To investigate the opinions of clinicians about the decision support software used. Design: Balanced-block crossover experiment with simulated cases; questionnaire study and semi-s...

BACKGROUND Observational and experimental studies of the diagnostic task have demonstrated the importance of the first hypotheses that come to mind for accurate diagnosis. A prototype decision support system (DSS) designed to support GPs' first impressions has been integrated with a commercial electronic health record (EHR) system. AIM To evaluate the prototype DSS in a high-fidelity simulati...

Benzo[a]pyrene (BP) is mutagenic but noncarcinogenic in the murine colon. Recently, we reported rapid induction of colonic tumors by treatment of CD2F1 mice with BP (125 mg/kg for 5 days) followed by a colitis inducer, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) (4% in drinking water for 1 or 2 weeks). However, there are no reports on detailed time course and histopathological features of colonic proliferativ...

The present study aimed to determine whether there is an association between abnormalities in enteroendocrine cells in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)‑induced colitis and the clonogenic and/or proliferative activities of stem cells. A total of 48 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Animals in the control group were provided with normal drinking water, whereas DSS colitis was induced in...

The Semantic Web shares many goals with Decision Support Systems (DSS), e.g., being able to precisely interpret information, in order to deliver relevant, reliable and accurate information to a user when and where it is needed. DSS have in addition more specific goals, since the information need is targeted towards making a particular decision, e.g., making a plan or reacting to a certain situa...
