Asthma, a common disorder that affects >250 million people worldwide, is defined by exaggerated bronchoconstriction to inflammatory mediators including acetylcholine (ACh), bradykinin and histamine-also termed airway hyper-responsiveness. Nearly 10% of people with asthma have severe, treatment-resistant disease, which is frequently associated with immunoglobulin-E sensitization to ubiquitous fu...

A regional technique for the study of curare sensitivity has been applied to patients with Duchenne type muscular dystrophy, myotonic disorders, certain lower motor neurone disorders, to patients with weakness in the arm after hemiplegia, to patients with hyper-reflexia and hypertonia without weakness, and to Parkinsonism. In the dystrophy patients, sensitivity to curare differs from normal con...

A 23 year old female patient came to our Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences, Nalgonda, with a chief complaint of pain in the mandibular left second molar. The patient had no significant medical history. Subjective symptoms of prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold were present. The objective symptoms were observed as percussion sensitivity...

we present some connections between the max-min general fuzzy automaton theory and the hyper structure theory. first, we introduce a hyper bck-algebra induced by a max-min general fuzzy automaton. then, we study the properties of this hyper bck-algebra. particularly, some theorems and results for hyper bck-algebra are proved. for example, it is shown that this structure consists of different ty...

PCR, including real-time PCR, usually requires at least 1 h to obtain results. To shorten this time, a novel real-time PCR method (Hyper-PCR) was developed. This method utilizes high-speed DNA polymerase and a thin disc-type reaction vessel that can quickly alter the temperature of the reaction mixture in a newly developed PCR machine. Reactions capable of amplifying adenovirus (Ad) DNA can be ...

Abstract The multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a post-viral immunological or hyper-inflammatory complication of severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection commonly seen older children, who present with fever, multi-systemic involvement including myocardial dysfunction and shock, hyper-inflammation. treatment MIS-C adapted from the other conditions these...

Submitted for the MAR15 Meeting of The American Physical Society Self-assembled tunable photonic hyper-crystals1 IGOR SMOLYANINOV, University of Maryland, VERA SMOLYANINOVA, BRADLEY YOST, DAVID LAHNEMAN, THOMAS GRESOCK, Towson University, EVGENII NARIMANOV, Purdue University — We demonstrate a novel artificial optical material, the photonic hyper-crystal, which combines the most interesting fea...

OBJECTIVE To examine set shifting in a group of women previously diagnosed with anorexia nervosa who are now weight-restored (AN-WR) and then apply a biologically based computational model (Competition between Verbal and Implicit Systems [COVIS]) to simulate the pattern of category learning and set shifting performances observed. METHOD Nineteen AN-WR women and 35 control women (CW) were admi...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels could be predict ovarian poor/hyper response and IVF cycle outcome. METHODS Between May 2010 and January 2011, serum AMH levels were evaluated with retrospective analysis. Three hundred seventy infertile women undergoing 461 IVF cycles between the ages of 20 and 42 were studied. We defined the poor ...

During this week’s practical we will focus on understanding and comparing the performance of the different regression methods seen in class, namely SVR and its variants ( -SVR, ν-SVR and its Bayesian counterpart RVR), as well as an introduction to Bayesian Linear Regression and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). Similar to non-linear classification methods, the non-linear regression methods we ...
