In this paper, we introduce the concepts of n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter in pseudo-hoops. Then we investigated these notions and proved some properties of them. Also, we discussed the relationship between n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter and other types of n-fold pseudo-hoops and n-fold filters such as n-fold (positive) implicative filter and ...

This paper is concerned with the statistical analysis of data obtained in studies of the joint action of drugs. The three methods that are compared are illustrated on real data (1), using the statistical package SAS. It is argued that while the results obtained using these methods do not differ substantially, the method allowing for estimating simultaneously all required parameters is to be pre...

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem in nearly every infectious disease, but the extent and rate of increase of the problem varies widely with different pathogen-drug combinations. The rate of increase of resistance depends primarily on the availability of resistant variants and the intensity of selection imposed by antimicrobial treatment (appropriately measured). Declines in resistan...

This paper investigates the calibration effect of urine biomarkers by creatinine. The biomarkers were obtained from each urine sample of 256 patients (cancer: 137, benign: 119). The logistic regression of the combinations of 2 biomarkers calibrated by creatinine concentration was compared with that of the 3 biomarkers including creatinine. The average AUC over 1000 rounds of 5-fold cross valida...

This paper proposes a correction method for urine biomarkers for better diagnosis of the ovarian cancer. The biomarkers were obtained from each urine sample of 163 patients (cancer: 42, benign: 121). The logistic regression of the combinations of 2 biomarkers calibrated by creatinine concentration was compared with that of the 3 biomarkers including creatinine. The average AUC over 100 repeated...

background: menopause is associated with changes in body composition in postmenopausal women. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of tibolone and continuous combined hormone therapy (ht) on body composition in postmenopausal women. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 120 menopausal women were randomly selected and divided into three groups. of these, 40 women ...

Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is an important molecule in promotion of polymorphonuclear neutrophil transendothelial migration during inflammation. Coincident with many inflammatory diseases is tissue hypoxia. Thus we hypothesized that combinations of hypoxia and inflammatory stimuli may differentially regulate expression of endothelial ICAM-1. Human endothelial cells were exposed ...
