Manifold learning for the hyperspectral data structure of intra-class variation provides useful information for investigating the intrinsic coordinates corresponding to the quantitative properties inherent in the class. However, in the high-dimensional feature space, it is unfeasible to acquire a statistically sufficie... |
Maspin (SerpinB5) is an epithelial-specific tumor suppressor gene product that displays context-dependent cellular functions. Maspin-deficient mouse models created to date have not definitively established maspin functions critical for cancer suppression. In this study, we generated a mouse strain in which exon 4 of th... |
outside of it? While middle-class parents might engage in ‘Take Our Daughters to Work Day’ as an avenue for empowerment of girls, Romero notes that, for the maids’ daughters, who are taken to work with their mothers out of necessity (due to lack of affordable child care options), these workplaces are neither unknown qu... |
Morphogens function in concentration-dependent manners to instruct cell fate during tissue patterning. Molecular mechanisms by which these signaling gradients are established and reinforced remain enigmatic. The cytoneme transport model posits that specialized filopodia extend between morphogen-sending and responding c... |

BACKGROUND |
Home-based rehabilitation is increasingly utilized to reduce health-care costs; however, with a shorter hospital stay, the possibility arises for an increase in adverse clinical outcomes. We evaluated the effectiveness and cost of care of home-based compared with inpatient rehabilitation following primary total hip or ... |
METHODS |
We randomized 234 patients, using block randomization techniques, to either home-based or inpatient rehabilitation following total joint replacement. All patients followed standardized care pathways and were evaluated, with use of validated outcome measures (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Inde... |
RESULTS |
The mean length of stay (and standard deviation) in the acute care hospital was 6.3 +/- 2.5 days for the group designated for inpatient rehabilitation prior to transfer to that facility compared with 7.0 +/- 3.0 days for the home-based rehabilitation group prior to discharge home (p = 0.06). The mean length of stay in ... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Despite concerns about early hospital discharge, there was no difference in pain, functional outcomes, or patient satisfaction between the group that received home-based rehabilitation and the group that had inpatient rehabilitation. On the basis of our findings, we recommend the use of a home-based rehabilitation prot... |
Abstract. In this article we study the existence of positive periodic solutions for a fourth-order nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delay. The main tool employed here is the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem dealing with a sum of two mappings, one is a contraction and the other one is completely ... |
Many aquatic organisms thrive and reproduce in polluted waters. This fact indicates that they are well equipped with a defense system(s) against several toxic xenobiotics simultaneously because water pollution is typically caused by a mixture of a number of pollutants. We have found that the biochemical mechanism under... |
Incidence and mortality rates of the prostate cancer are quite different between countries in the world. Such diversity may relate not only with the genetic difference but life style including diet. It is sure that the countries where PSA test widely prevails experience the decrease of the mortality of the prostate can... |
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the embryonic development of metazoans. Although the pathway has been studied extensively in many model animals, its function in amphioxus, the most primitive chordate, remains largely uncharacterized. To obtain basic data for functional analysis, we identifie... |

BACKGROUND |
Recent studies, mainly on animal models, have suggested that negatively charged glycosaminoglycans, macrophages, and lymph vessels in the skin interstitium may serve as extrarenal control of sodium balance and blood pressure. The aim of the study was to prove the hypothesis that skin interstitium has a role in the path... |
METHODS AND RESULTS |
We have examined skin biopsies in 91 patients from the department of surgery who had elective surgery with abdominal skin incision: 43 were hypertensive, 14 had resistant hypertension, and 34 with normal blood pressure as control group (median patients' age in these groups estimated accordingly 64 vs. 64 vs. 61.5; p > ... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Our results confirm that skin interstitium may be involved in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension in humans. Lower levels of VEGF-C in hypertensive groups suggest that impairment of lymphangiogenesis and protective function of the skin lymphatic system may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension.Gynaecol... |
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers have a 54–85% and 45% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer, respectively, and a 18–60% and 11–27% lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer, respectively. Oral contraceptives (OCs) significantly reduce the risk of ovarian cancer also in BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers. The associat... |
