Nutrition for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease in diabetes.
The prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetes through diet and lifestyle have been a topic of much interest over the years. Consideration of the type and amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat is required for optimal blood glucose control, for clinical outcomes related to renal function and ...

Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers can play a pivotal role in the diagnostic work up of primary progressive aphasia.
Three variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) have been currently characterized: non fluent/agrammatic (nfv-PPA), semantic (sv-PPA), and logopenic variant (lv-PPA). lv-PPA is most commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), while nfv-PPA and sv-PPA are related to frontotemporal lobar degeneration. We aimed...

The impact of cognitive reserve on brain functional connectivity in Alzheimer's disease.
One factor believed to impact brain resilience to the pathological damage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the so-called "cognitive reserve" (CR). A critical issue that still needs to be fully understood is the mechanism by which environmental enrichment interacts with brain plasticity to determine resilience to AD patho...

A prospective investigation of factors that predict desistance from recidivism for adolescents who have sexually offended.

This is also true for the popular tools designed to predict adolescent sexual recidivism. Research on strengths-based variables with adolescents...

Osmotic stress-induced phosphorylation of H2AX by polo-like kinase 3 affects cell cycle progression in human corneal epithelial cells.
Increased concentrations of extracellular solutes affect cell function and fate by stimulating cellular responses, such as evoking MAPK cascades, altering cell cycle progression, and causing apoptosis. Our study results here demonstrate that hyperosmotic stress induced H2AX phosphorylation (γH2AX) by an unrevealed kina...

A miracle that accelerates operating room functionality: sugammadex.
Sugammadex offers a good alternative to the conventional decurarisation process currently performed with cholinesterase inhibitors. Sugammadex, which was developed specifically for the aminosteroid-structured rocuronium and vecuronium neuromuscular blockers, is a modified cyclodextrin made up of 8 glucose monomers arra...

Self-ligating brackets and their impact on oral health-related quality of life in Chinese adolescence patients: a longitudinal prospective study.
Although the associations between orthodontic and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) have been explored, little research has been done to address the influence of brackets type on perceived OHRQOL. The aim of this study was to assess whether the levels of OHRQOL in Chinese adolescence patients were influenced...

A novel memristive multilayer feedforward small-world neural network with its applications in PID control.
In this paper, we present an implementation scheme of memristor-based multilayer feedforward small-world neural network (MFSNN) inspirited by the lack of the hardware realization of the MFSNN on account of the need of a large number of electronic neurons and synapses. More specially, a mathematical closed-form charge-g...

Towards enhancement of performance of K-means clustering using nature-inspired optimization algorithms.
Traditional K-means clustering algorithms have the drawback of getting stuck at local optima that depend on the random values of initial centroids. Optimization algorithms have their advantages in guiding iterative computation to search for global optima while avoiding local optima. The algorithms help speed up the clu...

Image deconvolution by means of frequency blur invariant concept.
Different blur invariant descriptors have been proposed so far, which are either in the spatial domain or based on the properties available in the moment domain. In this paper, a frequency framework is proposed to develop blur invariant features that are used to deconvolve a degraded image caused by a Gaussian blur. Th...
