minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-ivf) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. there is a misbelief that mini-ivf severely compromises pregnancy and live birth rates. an appraisal of the literature pertaining to studies on mini-ivf protocols was performed. the advantages of minimal stimulation protocols are report...

background: pre-clinical investigation of stem cells for repairing damaged myocardium predominantly used rodents, however large animals have cardiac circulation closely resembling the human heart. the aim of this study was to evaluate whether spect/ct myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) could be used for assessing sheep myocardium following an acute myocardial infarction (mi) and response to int...

Fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAODs) are a group of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) caused by impairments in mitochondrial β-oxidation fatty acids (FA) due to defects genes encoding enzymes, transporters, membrane channels, and receptors that mediate this process. A common characteristic IMDs is an energy deficit associated with suppression metabolism mitochondria decrease the production ...

In this section, we show that the density measure (Definition 1) used in the main paper satisfies properties that a reasonable “anomalousness” measure should meet. These properties were proposed in [Jiang et al. 2015]. Here, we consider two N -way tensors, T of size I1 × I2 × ...× IN and T′ of size I ′ 1 × I ′ 2 × ...× I ′ N . We denote the sum of the entries in each tensor by sum(T) and sum(T′...
