OBJECTIVE Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a type of alcoholic liver disorder caused by overconsumption of alcohol. The involvement of several transcription factors (TF), as the main regulators of disease related gene expression has been documented previously. However, despite the importance of analysis of gene regulatory network for understanding the molecular basis in any disease, so far, there is...

Emotions and the neuroendocrine system are known to affect leukocyte distribution. However, there have so far been few reports on the relationship between hypothalamically induced emotional behavior and the endocrine-immune response. We previously reported changes in the leukocyte distribution and adhesion molecules induced by anteromedial hypothalamus stimulation (AH stimulation), which elicit...

Black holes in equilibrium can be defined locally in terms of the so-called isolated horizon boundary condition given on a null surface representing the event horizon. We show that this boundary condition can be treated in a manifestly SU(2) invariant manner. Upon quantization, state counting is expressed in terms of the dimension of Chern-Simons Hilbert spaces on a sphere with punctures. Remar...

An important aspect of machine learning (ML) involves controlling the process for ML method in question to maximize its performance. Hyperparameter tuning (HPT) selecting suitable parameters that control process. Given HPT can be conceptualized as a black box optimization problem subject stochasticity, simulation (SO) methods appear well suited this purpose. Therefore, we conceptualize discrete...

PURPOSE To analyze the anatomic consequences of selective amygdalohippocampectomy (AH) in patients with hippocampal sclerosis and to correlate the clinical outcome with the MR appearance. METHODS Seventeen patients were examined with clinical and neuropsychologic examination and cranial MR after AH (7 transcortical AH, 10 trans-Sylvian AH). The clinical and neuropsychologic outcomes after AH ...

The set A of nonnegative integers is called a basis of order h if every nonnegative integer can be represented as the sum of exactly h not necessarily distinct elements of A. An additive basis A of order h is called thin if there exists c > 0 such that the number of elements of A not exceeding x is less than cx1/h for all x ≥ 1. This paper describes a construction of Shatrovskĭi of thin bases o...

BACKGROUND/AIM Acute non-A, non-B, non-C, non-D, non-E hepatitis (non-A-E AH) is an acute disease of the liver of unknown etiology for which one or more new, so far undetected, hepatotropic viruses may be responsible. The frequency of non-A-E AH ranges from 3.8% to 33.9%, and therefore it has a significant place within current infectology and hepatology. The aim of our study was to establish th...
