Synovial injury and healing are complex processes including catabolic effects by proinflammatory cytokines and anabolic processes by anti-inflammatory mediators. Here we examined the expression of pro- versus anti-inflammatory mediators in synovium of patients with diagnostic arthroscopy (control), joint trauma (JT), osteoarthritis (OA), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Synovial samples from thes...

Game Theory (JT) is a mathematical theory that assesses in the strategy games understanding and interaction of actors, being an important tool identification analysis conflicts. Therefore, objective was to analyze conflicts over water use propose mitigating measures Hydrographic Region Middle Tocantins, applying after possible conflict-generating agents, JT. This made it identify conflict scena...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is not known whether trapezius squeeze test (TPZ) is a better clinical test than jaw thrust (JT) to assess laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion conditions in children under sevoflurane anesthesia. MATERIAL AND METHODS After the Institutional Ethics Committee approval and written informed parental consent, 124 American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II children of 2...

We present a field theory description for the non-perturbative splitting and joining of baby universes in Euclidean Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity. show how gravitational path integral, defined as sum over topologies, can be reproduced from perturbative expansion Kodaira-Spencer (KS) complex structure deformations spectral curve. use that Schwinger-Dyson equations KS mapped to topological recur...

Severe hyperparathyroidism can affect bone metabolism and be in the origine of multiple brown tumours (generalized osteitis fibrosa cystica). When associated with fibro-ossifying tumours of the jaw, it realizes a rare genetic syndrome referred as Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour HPT-JT. We report the case of a patient we treated for HPT-JT, and literature review.

The near extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes in arbitrary dimensions can be modeled by the JackiwTeitelboim (JT) theory. The asymptotic Virasoro symmetry of the corresponding JT model exactly reproduces, via Cardy’s formula, the deviation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the Reissner-Nordström black holes from extremality. We also comment how can we extend this approach to investigate t...

BACKGROUND Papillary thyroid carcinoma often has lymph node metastasis, compared with follicular thyroid carcinoma. The study showed that epithelial-mesenchymal transition occurs in carcinoma cells during the first stage of metastasis, where some extracellular matrix molecules are secreted in large quantities. Sialic acid carried by fibronectin as the antigen of the monoclonal antibody (MoAb) J...

A maximal prime subgraph decomposition junction tree (MPD-JT) is a useful computational structure that facilitates lazy propagation in Bayesian networks (BNs). A graphical method was proposed to construct an MPD-JT from a BN. In this paper, we present a new method from a relational database (RDB) perspective which sheds light on the semantic meaning of the previously proposed graphical algorithm.
