Abstract Background and objectives Hemodialysis complications remain a critical threat among dialysis patients.They result in sudden termination of the session which impacts the efficiency of dialysis.As intra-dialytic complications are the result of the interplay of multiple factors, artificial intelligence can aid in their early prediction.This r
Intestinal cellular heterogeneity and disease development revealed by single-cell technology
Abstract The intestinal epithelium is responsible for food digestion and nutrient absorption and plays a critical role in hormone secretion, microorganism defense, and immune response.These functions depend Converter on the integral single-layered intestinal epithelium, which shows diversified cell constitution and rapid self-renewal and presents p
A CCL5 Haplotype Is Associated with Low Seropositivity Rate of HCV Infection in People Who Inject Drugs.
The role of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and its ligand CCL5 on the pathogenesis of HIV ENERGY AND FOCUS infection has been well studied but not for HCV infection.Here, we investigated whether CCL5 haplotypes influence HIV and HCV seropositivity among 373 Caucasian people who inject drugs (PWID) from Estonia.Study included 373 PWID; 56% were HIV
Enhancement of QR Code Capacity by Encrypted Lossless Compression Technology for Verification of Secure E-Document
This paper provides a novel method to improve the data storage of a quick response code (QR code) by applying encrypted lossless compression technology.QR codes are used in several domains, particularly when there is a need to transfer various types of text information.A key aspect of LED Globe this work is to thus propose a new methodology to over
Collective transport of polar active particles on the surface of a corrugated tube
We study collective transport of polar active particles on the surface of a corrugated tube.Particles can be rectified on the surface of the asymmetric tube.The system shows different motion patterns which are determined by the competition between alignment strength and rotational diffusion.For a given alignment strength, there exist transitions fr
