Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an efficient alternative for hemodialysis. Removal of waste metabolites and excess water from the blood circulation are the two main tasks done during dialysis. These are done by using a filter; in PD, the naturally semi-permeable peritoneal membrane acts as the filter. Automated PD machines control intelligently the operations to enhance the efficiency a...

Introduction: Parkinson Disease (PD), the second most common chronic neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. SHANK3 (SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domain 3) belongs to the extremely conserved ProSAP/ Shank family of synaptic scaffolding proteins. Meanwhile, rs9616915 is a non-synonymous SNP (T>C) located in the exon 6 of the SH...

To perform simple everyday tasks, we use visual feedback from our external environment to generate and guide movements. However, tasks like reaching for a cup may become extremely difficult in movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), and it is unknown whether PD patients use visual information to compensate for motor deficiencies. We tested adaptation to changes in visual feedback o...

OBJECTIVE An inflammation-driven model of PD has been proposed based on the endotoxin lipopolysaccaride (LPS), a potential source of inflammation in the gastrointestinal system linked to neurotoxicity. Systemic exposure to bacterial endotoxin (LPS) can be determined by measuring plasma LPS binding protein (LBP). We aimed to evaluate whether lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) can be used t...

This study proposes an adaptive control method of a weigh feeder. A weigh feeder dispenses material into a process at a precise rate, and it has been employed in industries, e.g., process control, cement manufacturing plants, food industry equipment, and so on. To introduce advanced control into industries, self-tuning controllers are designed for controlling a weigh feeder. Three difference co...

UNLABELLED Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the most commonly known human chronic disorders. The relationship between PD and several systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM) has been increasingly recognized over the past decades. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review is to provide the reader with knowledge concerning the relationship between PD and DM. Many articles have been publish...

in this paper, a new control method based on fel electro hydraulic servo control withnonlinear flux and internal friction, has been presented. the new approach based oncontrollers combined by a classic pd controller and a fuzzy controller is smart. this newtechnique has a good ability to control the performance and stability. simulations have beencarried out in matlab environment and the result...

Introduction. Immunotherapy of malignant neoplasms is a dynamically developing field. Diagnostic possibilities in determining the biomarkers tumor response to immunotherapy are discussed. The search for new diagnostic «points» being conducted on basis detailed studies carcinogenesis and cellular biological processes unchanged tissues. aim this work highlight one promising points influence tumor...
