‎Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ with vertices labeled as $v_1‎, ‎v_2,dots‎ , ‎v_n$‎. ‎Let $d_i$ be the degree of the vertex $v_i$ for $i = 1‎, ‎2‎, ‎cdots‎ , ‎n$‎. ‎The Albertson matrix of $G$ is the square matrix of order $n$ whose $(i‎, ‎j)$-entry is equal to $|d_i‎ - ‎d_j|$ if $v_i $ is adjacent to $v_j$ and zero‎, ‎otherwise‎. ‎The main purposes of this paper is to introduce the Albertson ...

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by skin fragility, blistering, and chronic pruritus. This study evaluated whether existing patient-reported instruments can capture the real-life burden of itch specific to EB. To date, no single instrument considered gold standard for EB-related itch. Using longitudinal data from completed phase 2 trial with 24 participants (NCT...

Embryo implantation is a key factor limiting the effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies, and depends on quality blastocyst susceptibility endometrium. Various methods treatment aimed at improving receptivity uterine mucosa, including endometrial scratching, have been proposed. At same time, main mechanisms underlying this intervention remain unclear. Moreover, optimal duration expo...

purpose the purpose of this investigation was to compare a practical measurement of fat free mass index (ffmi) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa) value in collegiate athletes. methods thirty-three male baseball players and 16 female gymnasts volunteered to participate in this study during their respective pre-season. subjects visited the l...

We examined the effect of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) on IL-31-induced alloknesis in mice. We investigated itch-associated scratching behavior (long-lasting scratching: LLS) as an indicator of itching. Topically applied PGD2 and dexamethasone each significantly suppressed IL-31 (acute or repeated administration)-induced LLS. However, neither PGD2 nor dexamethasone suppressed the IL-31 (repeated adm...
