Glucose’s effect on the transcription factor FOXO1 isn’t sweet. The protein usually fosters tissue repair, but Zhang et al. reveal that FOXO1 inhibits healing when sugar levels are high (1). This role reversal helps explain why wounds heal slowly in people with diabetes. For diabetes patients, even a cut or scrape can result in severe complications. Because the skin doesn’t close promptly, bact...

For the past two decades, research on use of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) in cementitious materials has proven that these innovative have potential to become a suitable admixture concrete industry. Not until recently, most applications studied made SAPs originally designed be used other industries, such as food, agricultural and hygiene products. In this paper, an “in-house” developed SAP (SA...

Complexity is a characteristic of many important systems. These systems have a large number of interacting entities, complex constraints, and need to satisfy nonfunctional requirements. We use Semantic Analysis Patterns (SAPs), a type of analysis patterns where each pattern corresponds to a basic set of Use Cases, to build a global conceptual model in an incremental way. This global model provi...

Spatial audio processes (SAPs) commonly encountered in consumer audio reproduction systems are known to generate a range of impairments to spatial quality. Two listening tests (involving two listening positions, six 5-channel audio recordings, and 48 SAPs) indicate that the degree of quality degradation is determined largely by the nature of the SAP but that the effect of a particular SAP can d...

Central nervous system involvement is one of the most prominent clinical manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), and includes thrombotic events, psychiatric features and a variety of other non-thrombotic neurological syndromes. The aim of our prospective study was to investigate relationship between nonthrombotic neurological and cardiac manifestations. We analyzed 218 patients with ...
