Although evidence indicates that both psychopathy and intelligence independently predict juvenile offending, relations among IQ, psychopathy, and offending are inconsistent. We investigated whether intelligence moderates the relation between psychopathy and both income and aggressive offending concurrently and over tim... |
Text detection and recognition in natural images are popular yet unsolved problems in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a technique that attempts to detect and recognize text in a unified manner by searching for words directly without reducing the image into text regions or individual characters. We present th... |

OBJECTIVES |
To develop and validate an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for measurement of urinary 2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (2,3D6KPGF1 alpha) using a monoclonal antibody and a horseradish peroxidase-linked antigen. |
DESIGN AND METHODS |
Assay validation included optimization of the standard curve, antibody cross-reactivity, accuracy and imprecision studies together with preliminary measurement of clinical samples. |
RESULTS |
Optimal conditions of the standard curve (0.078-10.0 micrograms/L) used 2 mg/L of antibody and 3 micrograms/L of peroxidase conjugate in each well, at pH 7.2. The coefficient of variation of various concentrations of the standard curve averaged 6.8%. Antibody cross-reactivity was < 0.01% for related prostanoids. Recove... |
CONCLUSION |
With similar precision and validity, our assay method is time- and cost-saving. Preliminary urinary measurements show that this analyte may be of interest as an early marker for preeclampsia.Land cover classification using SPOT Vegetation 10-day composite images – Baltic Sea catchment basin |

In recent years it has been shown that cerebral blood flow is affected by intense exercise, what may even lead to a reduction in the cognitive capacity. This statement is contrary to the traditional belief that cerebral blood flood remains constant and unaltered even when exercise is performed. During physical exercise... |
Porocarcinoma (PC) is a rare malignant tumor of the acrosyringium. PC is a potentially aggressive tumor and has been reported to cause regional and distant metastases in 20% and 12% of patients, respectively. Mortality surpasses 65% in patients with nodal metastases. 1 Because of its rarity, dermoscopic features of PC ... |

Zebrafish Csrp1 is a member of the cysteine- and glycine-rich protein (CSRP) family and is expressed in the mesendoderm and its derivatives. Csrp1 interacts with Dishevelled 2 (Dvl2) and Diversin (Div), which control cell morphology and other dynamic cell behaviors via the noncanonical Wnt and JNK pathways. When csrp1 ... |
The clonal hematopoiesis when occurring without hematologic abnormalities is defined as clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). Aging causes accumulation of somatic mutations, and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can develop clonal expansion of different lineages by these mutations. CHIP has a correlatio... |

BACKGROUND AND AIM |
Although the mechanisms underlying the formation of intestinal fibrostrictures in Crohn's disease (CD) are not fully understood, activation of fibroblasts and excessive collagen deposition are supposed to contribute to the development of such complications. Here, we investigated the role of cadherin-11 (CDH-11), a fibr... |
METHODS |
CDH-11 expression was evaluated in inflammatory (I) and fibrostricturing (FS) CD mucosal samples, ulcerative colitis (UC) mucosal samples and ileal and colonic control samples by real-time PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. CDH-11 expression was evaluated in normal and CD intestinal fibroblasts stimulated ... |
RESULTS |
CDH-11 RNA and protein expression was increased in both CD and UC as compared to controls. In CD, the greater expression of CDH-11 was seen in FS samples. Stimulation of fibroblasts with TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IFN-γ, IL-13 and IL-1β enhanced CDH-11 expression. Knockdown of CDH-11 in FS CD fibroblasts impaired RhoA/... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Data show that CDH-11 expression is up-regulated in IBD and suggest a role for this protein in the control of intestinal fibrosis.A High Quality Reflectance Model in Medical Image Visualization |
