The power of each sensor node in wireless sensor networks for signal detection applications is scarce and limited. Thus, the allocation of power resource of a node should make the detection performance of the whole network maximum, which is complex due to the detection probability of the whole system cannot be expressed explicitly. The ant colony optimization algorithm is good at solving multid...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) of 0 in patients with stable chest symptoms and to compare it as a first-line test with bicycle exercise testing (X-ECG). Altogether, 315 consecutive patients over 44 years of age, with stable chest symptoms and no previous diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) visited the outpa...

Islet transplantation to treat type 1 diabetes (T1D) has shown varied long-term success, due in part to insufficient blood supply to maintain the islets. In the current study, collagen and collagen:chitosan (10:1) hydrogels, +/- circulating angiogenic cells (CACs), were compared for their ability to produce a pro-angiogenic environment in a streptozotocin-induced mouse model of T1D. Initial cha...

Title of Document: EFFECTS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY ON THE PARACRINE FUNCTION OF CIRCULATING ANGIOGENIC CELLS. Rian Q. Landers-Ramos, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Directed by: Professor James M. Hagberg, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in developed countries. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors account for onl...

The current guidelines recommend the new risk score, Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease score (ASCVD), to assess an individual׳s risk of future cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. No data exist on the predictive utility of ASCVD score with the incremental value of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) across ethnicities and gender. Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) is a populat...

A defect in neo-vascularization process involving circulating angiogenic mononuclear cells (CACs) dysfunction is associated with diabetes. We showed that oxidative stress was elevated in CACs cultured from blood of individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes. We then assessed the action of palmitic acid (PA), a deregulated and increased NEFA in metabolic disorders, focusing on its o...

As the world faces detrimental effects of humanity on environment, circular economy has started receiving a lot attention as tool to keep value resources. Although in Europe, principles have become trend much earlier, CACs still face challenges adopting them. The current research aims review available literature sustainability, green economy, and circularity development through adoption politic...

Abstract Background Coronary atherosclerosis is the number one leading cause of death. According to estimates, if all primary cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) had been eradicated, life expectancy could increase by nearly seven years. Long asymptomatic latent phases coronary heart disease allow for early preventive measures. Egypt has a high prevalence premature Artery Disease (CAD). Aim study We ...

Abstract Purpose Available biomarkers lack sensitivity for an early lung cancer. Circulating genetically abnormal cells (CACs) occur in tumorigenesis. To determine the diagnostic value of CACs blood detected by 4-color fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) Methods This was a prospective study patients with pulmonary nodules ? 30 mm between 10/2019 and 01/2020 at four tertiary hospitals China. ...
