BACKGROUND Cardiac glycosides (CGs) including digitalis, digoxin and digitoxin are used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Pre-clinical studies have investigated the anti-neoplastic properties of CGs since 1960s. Epidemiological studies concerning the association between CGs use and cancer risk yielded inconsistent results. We have performed a systematic revie...

BACKGROUND It is vitally important that there is a connection between health research and clinical practice. Indications as to the impact of the research on evidence-based practice and policy can be obtained by tracking the use of outputs of health research, especially its use in clinical guidelines (CGs). This study aims to assess the proportion of National Institute for Health and Care Excell...

In this paper, a derivation method is presented for the valid contracted graphs (CGs) with pentagonal links plus quaternary Q and ternary T using starting vertax arrays strings (SVASs) type synthesis of parallel mechanisms. First, some concepts on CGs, array (SVASs), basic (BCGs) are explained. Second, deriving CGs according to BCGs SVASs. According connections vertax, SVASs obtained. Then, pri...

Abstract Ternary compounds such as Cu2GeS3(CGS) and Cu2SnS3(CTS) semiconductor materials have been considered lower defects environmentally friendly absorber layer for solar cells. In this work, the band offsets CGS/CdS CTS/CdS heterointerface are calculated by first-principles calculation method. The valence maximum (VBM) of CdS is below CGS (valence offset Δ E V =1.4 eV), conduction minimum (...

Comparative analysis of a Symmetric Heterojunction Underlap Double Gate (U-DG) GaN/AlGaN Metal Oxide Semiconductor High Electron Mobility Transistor (MOS-HEMT) on varying the effective capacitance by using different oxide materials source and drain sides, determination optimum length oxides for superior device performance has been presented in this work. This paper shows detailed Analog Figure ...

The analysis and useful gas sensing properties of capillary-attached gas sensor (CGS) have recently been investigated. The aim of the present work was to investigate the possibility of applying CGS as single selective sensor in detecting organic gases. A CGS samples were fabricated and tested by exposure to five different flammable target gases, hydrogen, methanol, ethanol, acetone and 1-butano...

Here we present an efficient calculation of comprehensive Gröbner systems to derive specific conditions for neural circuits as well as electric circuits. Comprehensive Gröbner systems (CGS) have been applied to problems with a small number of parameters such as the automatic geometric theorem proving and the inverse kinematics problem of a robot arm. In CGS, however, a larger number of paramete...

PURPOSE The aim of this paper was to explore the applicability of dementia clinical guidelines (CGs) to older patients, to patients with one or several comorbidities, and to both targets in order to evaluate if an association between the applicability and quality of the CGs exists. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search strategy conducted on electronic databases identified CGs on diagnosis...

The conjugate gradient squared (CGS) algorithm is a Krylov subspace algorithm that can be used to obtain fast solutions for linear systems (Ax = b) with complex nonsymmetric, very large, and very sparse coeecient matrices (A). By considering electromagnetic scattering problems as examples, a study of the performance and scalability of this algorithm on two MIMD machines is presented. A modiied ...
