PURPOSE To determine whether a combination of L-methylfolate, methylcobalamin, and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (LMF-MC-PLP [Metanx; Pamlab LLC, Covington, La]) improves sensory neuropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involved 214 patients with type 2 diabetes and neuropathy (baseline vibration perception threshold [VPT]: 25-45 vo...

A new adaptive lter algorithm has been developed that combines the beneets of the Least Mean Square (LMS) and Least Mean Fourth (LMF) methods. This algorithm , called LMS/F, outperforms the standard LMS algorithm judging either constant convergence rate or constant misadjustment. While LMF outperforms LMS for certain noise prooles, its stability cannot be guaranteed for known input signals even...

The synrift sandstone deposits of Eo-Oligocene Lemat (LMF) and Oligo-Miocene Talang Akar Formations (TAF) are the most well -known hydrocarbon reservoirs in South Sumatra Basin, Indonesia. However, only limited studies on TAF North Palembang Sub-Basin have been published. In Ridho field, is characterized by fining-up sequences inter bedded, fine to medium-grained sandstones shales overlain a co...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The importance of LMF in the outcome after acute ischemic stroke is increasingly recognized, but imaging presents a wide range of options for identification of collaterals and there is no single system for grading collateral flow. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the available methods for measuring LMF adequacy. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

The issue of sentence semantic similarity is important and essential to many applications of Natural Language Processing. This issue was treated in some frameworks dealing with the similarity between short texts especially with the similarity between sentence pairs. However, the semantic component was paradoxically weak in the proposed methods. In order to address this weakness, we propose in t...

In recent years, a number of methods have been developed for the dimension reduction and decomposition of multiple linked high-content data matrices. Typically these methods assume that just one dimension, rows or columns, is shared among the data sources. This shared dimension may represent common features that are measured for different sample sets (i.e., horizontal integration) or a common s...

Interstocks can reduce toxic ion accumulations in leaves of budded citrus trees, but the mechanism is not understood. We grew sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.; SO) seedlings, budded trees of 'Salustiano' orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck; SAO) on SO, 'Verna' lemon (Citrus limon L. Burm. f; VL/SO) and interstock trees (VL/SAO/SO) in pots of sand watered with nutrient solution containing 5 (contr...

We have previously shown human lipid-mobilizing factor 11 Ml >to be homologous with the plasma protein Zn-«2-glycoprotein in amino acid sequence, electrophoretic mobility, and immunoreactivity. In this study, both IMI and Zn-a2-glycoprotein have been shown to stimulate glycerol release from isolated murine epididymal adipocytes with a comparable dose-response profile. Both I.MI and Zn-a2-glyco...

Purpose: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is prevalent among the population with type 2 diabetes, and treatment approaches are limited. The combination of L-methylfolate-methylcobalamin-pyridoxal-5-phospate (LMF-MC-PP, Metanx®) is a prescription medical food that has demonstrated significant improvements in sensory perception and quality of life as well as reduced neuropathic pain in patien...

PURPOSE To investigate the characteristics of visual field (VF) progression in medically treated normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients (Koreans) with unstable ocular perfusion pressure (OPP). METHODS One hundred one eyes of 101 NTG patients followed up for more than 4 years (mean follow-up, 6.2 years ± 12.1 months) were included. Modified Anderson criteria (MC) and linear regression analysis...
