Computer Algorithms for Automated Detection and Analysis of Local Ca2+ Releases in Spontaneously Beating Cardiac Pacemaker Cells [PDF]

, 2017
Local Ca Releases (LCRs) are crucial events involved in cardiac pacemaker cell function. However, specific algorithms for automatic LCR detection and analysis have not been developed in live, spontaneously beating pacemaker cells. Here we measured LCRs using a high-speed 2D-camera in spontaneously contracting sinoatrial (SA) node cells isolated from ...

Best-of-Both-Worlds Multiparty Quantum Computation with Publicly Verifiable Identifiable Abort [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Alon et al. (CRYPTO 2021) introduced a multiparty quantum computation protocol that is secure with identifiable abort (MPQC-SWIA). However, their protocol allows only inside MPQC parties to know the identity of malicious players. This becomes problematic when two groups of people disagree and need a third party, like a jury, to verify who the malicious

Pitfalls and Strategies for Measuring Menopausal Stage in Eating Disorder Studies of Women in Midlife

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Researchers are increasingly interested in exploring the role of the menopausal transition in eating disorder risk. We recently embarked on studies of this critical life phase and encountered significant challenges in assessing menopausal status that limited our ability to test study hypotheses.

A Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Approach for Partially Observed Cured Data with Left Truncation and Right-Censoring [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Partially observed cured data occur in the analysis of spontaneous abortion (SAB) in observational studies in pregnancy. In contrast to the traditional cured data, such data has an observable `cured' portion as women who do not abort spontaneously.

Epidemiology and mechanisms of sporadic and recurrent spontaneous abortion [PDF]

, 1990
There is no prospective data available on the incidence of sporadic and recurrent spontaneous abortion which the clinician can use to assess a woman's risk of recurrence, the factors predisposing to abortion and the benefits of treatment.

Activation and inhibition of Notch signaling facilitate proliferative regeneration of sensory cells in adult mice

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Due to the limited regenerative capacity in adult mammals, the loss of vestibular hair cells (HCs) leads to balance disorders. In this study, we chronologically reprogrammed adult vestibular supporting cells (SCs) via bimodal regulation of Notch signaling, mimicking dynamic changes in Notch signaling during inner ear development. We found that

Clinical characteristics and long‐term outcomes in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims As a special type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), apical HCM (ApHCM) has different clinical characteristics while its nature history and prognosis are not well recognized. We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of ApHCM and identify predictors of adverse outcomes.

Associations between 25 hydroxyvitamin D concentration and spontaneous abortion

BMC Public Health
Background Spontaneous abortion is a common complication of pregnancy that can lead to adverse physical and psychological outcomes for women. Vitamin D is reported to be associated with reproductive functions, whereas its casual effects on abortion ...

Time Lag Evidence of Anti-Abortion Decree and Perturbation of Births Distribution. A Benford Law Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
This study analyzes the case of Romanian births, jointly distributed by age-groups of mother and father covering 1958-2019 under the potential influence of significant disruptors. Significant events such as anti-abortion laws application or abrogation, communism fall, and migration and their impact are analyzed.

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.
