Women with a history of preeclampsia have a 5- to 12-fold increased risk to develop end-stage kidney disease. Previous observations in small cohorts suggest that former preeclamptic (fPE) women have subtle abnormalities in renal hemodynamics and renal function, which might predispose them to renal failure in later life. In this study, we analyzed renal function in a cross-sectional cohort consi...

Background Vascular geometry plays an important role in stroke thrombectomy outcomes, but few studies have examined complex characteristics of vessel morphology. The authors hypothesized that engineered cross‐section features could be used to predict first‐pass effect (FPE). Methods analyzed computed tomography angiography and noncontrast tomagraphy from 50 patients with anterior circulation th...

Rape bee pollen possesses many nutritional and therapeutic properties because of its abundant nutrimental and bioactive components. In this study, free (FPE) and bound (BPE) phenolic extracts of rape bee pollen were obtained, phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined, and composition of phenolic acids was analyzed. In vitro antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase (TYR) activities of FPE and BPE w...

Among potential resources for people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) and their families, professionally delivered family psychoeducation (FPE) is designed to engage, inform, and educate family members, so that they can assist the person with SMI in managing their illness. In this article, we review research regarding FPE outcomes and implementation since 2001, updating the previous review i...

We examined the initial molecular mechanisms by which cells nonselectively internalize extracellular solutes in response to insulin. Insulin-stimulated fluid phase endocytosis (FPE) was examined in responsive cells, and the roles of the insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI 3'-kinase), Ras, and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) we...

BACKGROUND As the predominant occupation in the health sector and as the health worker with the most patient interaction, nurses are at high risk for occupational transmission of communicable respiratory illness. The use of facial protective equipment (FPE) is an important strategy to prevent occupational transmission. METHODS A 2-phased study was conducted to examine nurse's adherence to rec...

The paper deals with a filter design for nonlinear continuous stochastic systems with discrete-time measurements. The general recursive solution is given by the Fokker–Planck equation (FPE) and by the Bayesian rule. The stress is laid on the computation of the predictive conditional probability density function from the FPE. The solution of the FPE and its integration into the estimation algori...

OBJECTIVE - To assess the incidence of fatal pulmonary embolism (FPE), the accuracy of clinical diagnosis, and the profile of patients who suffered an FPE in a tertiary University Hospital. METHODS - Analysis of the records of 3,890 autopsies performed at the Department of General Pathology from January 1980 to December 1990. RESULTS - Among the 3,980 autopsies, 109 were cases of clinically sus...

Objective. The effects of Flos Puerariae extract (FPE) on cognitive impairment associated with diabetes were assessed in C57BL/6J mice. Methods. Experimental diabetic mice model was induced by one injection of 50 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) for 5 days consecutively. FPE was orally administrated at the dosages of 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg/day, respectively. The learning and memory ability was assesse...

In regression, despite being both aimed at estimating the Mean Squared Prediction Error (MSPE), Akaike’s Final (FPE) and Generalized Cross Validation (GCV) selection criteria are usually derived from two quite different perspectives. Here, settling on most commonly accepted definition of MSPE as expectation squared prediction error loss, we provide theoretical expressions for it, valid any line...
