background: this study detected osteopontin (opn) and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (mmp-7) expressions to explore the roles of opn and mmp-7 in the occurrence, progression, and prognosis of nonsmall cell lung cancer (nsclc). materials and methods: a retrospective study was conducted on nsclc tissues ( n = 152; case group) and adjacent nonneoplastic lung parenchyma (adjacent to tumor >5 cm; n = 15...

‎The object of the present paper is to introduce and study a type of non-flat semi-Riemannian manifolds‎, ‎called‎, ‎super generalized recurrent manifolds which generalizes both the notion of hyper generalized recurrent manifolds [‎A.A‎. ‎Shaikh and A‎. ‎Patra‎, On a generalized class of recurrent manifolds‎, Arch‎. ‎Math‎. ‎(Brno) 46 (2010) 71--78‎.] and weakly generalized recurrent manifolds ...

background: normal pregnancy is thought to be dependent on th2 deviation, while recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) and pre-eclampsia (pe) appear to be biased toward the th1 immune response. it is believed that the soluble form of cd30 (scd30) is an index of th2 immune response or modulator of th1/th2 responses. objective: the aim of this study was determination of the scd30 level in rpl and pe pati...

background: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of autologous serum eye drop in treatment of recurrent corneal epithelial defect. m aterials and methods: fourteen patients with recurrent corneal epithelial defect were studied. autologous serum was prepared from the patients and diluted in 20% normal saline. the patients were instructed to use the autologous serum every six...

objective: approximately 15-20% of clinically recognizable pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion. the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in those abortions is as high as 50%.a modest but clinically important proportion of spontaneous abortions is caused by a balanced chromosomal aberration in one of the parents. this results from the production of gametes and embryos with unbalanced chrom...

Microexpressions are fast and spatially small facial expressions that difficult to detect. Therefore, motion magnification techniques, which aim at amplifying hence revealing subtle in videos, appear useful for handling such expressions. There basically two main approaches, namely, via Eulerian or Lagrangian techniques. While the first one magnifies implicitly by operating directly on image pix...

Recent emotion recognition models, most of them being based on strongly supervised deep learning solutions, are rather successful in recognizing instantaneous expressions. However, when applied to continuous interactions, these models show a weaker adaptation person-specific and long-term appraisal. In this article, we present an unsupervised neural framework that improves by how describe affec...
