Systemic and Acquired Immune Responses in Alzheimer's Disease
2007Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by a progressive cognitive decline and dementia. AD brains are marked by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal cell loss, and a prominent activation of glial cells, and innate immune responses.

Innate and Acquired Immunity in Real Time Systems
Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'04), 2005In most potential industrial applications of artificial immune systems for early fault detection, some form of simple fault detection system already exists. We propose that this existing layer of simple, generally rule-based fault detection is analogous to innate immunity in the natural immune system. We argue that the artificial acquired immune system

Interaction of Probiotics with the Acquired Immune System in the Gut
2011Recent scientific evidence suggests the relevance of probiotics in the development and regulation of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Probiotic strains perform regulatory activities by modulating the degree of immune activation in response to pathogens and tolerance toward food antigens.

CYTOMEGALOVIRUS IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM OF PATIENTS WITH THE ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME
Brain, 1989Clinicopathological features of infection of the nervous system by cytomegalovirus (CMV) in 31 patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are reviewed. Neuropathology was variable, ranging from rare isolated CMV inclusions in brain without associated inflammation or necrosis, to severe necrotizing ependymitis and meningoencephalitis ...

Acquired disorders affecting the immune system and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Preventive Medicine, 1987A case-control study was undertaken to determine whether a prior history of a variety of acquired disorders affecting the immune system was associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cases were identified over a 4-year period (1976-1979) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and individually matched to hospital controls on age, sex, race, and

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and the Developing Nervous System
1990Publisher Summary The study of AIDS has contributed substantially to a growing awareness of the relationship between the immune and nervous systems. This chapter discusses a comparison of the impairments in the nervous and immune systems that arise from HIV infection.

Design of a rapidly acquiring and noise immune PLL for communication systems
Proceedings of International Conference on Satellite Communications. ICSC'94, 2002Phase-locked loops (PLLs) are extensively used for carrier synchronization. For signals with slowly varying phase and frequency, the best performance is achieved with PLLs. However, PLLs cannot provide rapid acquisition with high probability when acquiring signals with high a priori phase and frequency uncertainty because of the hang-up phenomenon ...

Why did the acquired immune system of vertebrates evolve?
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2007Rapidly expanding genomic information offers important insights into the mechanisms of acquired immunity and has fostered progress in comparative immunology. However, the question of why the acquired immune system, a trait restricted to jawed vertebrates, evolved has rarely been addressed.

Do all creatures possess an acquired immune system of some sort?
BioEssays, 2014Recent findings have provided evidence for the existence of non‐vertebrate acquired immunity. We survey these findings and propose that all living organisms must express both innate and acquired immunity. This is opposed to the paradigm that only vertebrates manifest the two forms of immune mechanism; other species are thought to use innate immunity ...

A hierarchical framework of the acquired immune system
The acquired immune system provides a general pattern recognition and defence system that modifies itself, adapting to improve its capability with experience. This work elaborates upon and refines the definition of a previously proposed hieratical acquired immune system framework.openaire +1 more source
