New fixed figure results with the notion of k-ellipse [PDF]

Mathematica Moravica, 2023
In this paper, as a geometric approach to the fixed-point theory, we prove new fixed-figure results using the notion of k-ellipse on a metric space. For this purpose, we are inspired by the Caristi type mapping, Kannan type contraction, Chatterjea type ...

Neural correlates of executive function and working memory in the 'at risk mental state' [PDF]

Background and Aims: People with ‘prodromal’ symptoms have a very high risk of developing psychosis. We used functional MRI to examine the neurocognitive basis of this vulnerability.

Therapeutic Apheresis for Intravenous Methylprednisolone‐Refractory Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in a Single‐Center Case Series

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. High‐dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) is the standard first‐line therapy for acute attacks, although some patients remain refractory.

PARAMETRIC FLATTEN-T SWISH: AN ADAPTIVE NONLINEAR ACTIVATION FUNCTION FOR DEEP LEARNING

Journal of ICT, 2020
QActivation function is a key component in deep learning that performs non-linear mappings between the inputs and outputs. Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) has been the most popular activation function across the deep learning community.

Peptide Bbeta(15-42) preserves endothelial barrier function in shock

, 2009
Loss of vascular barrier function causes leak of fluid and proteins into tissues, extensive leak leads to shock and death. Barriers are largely formed by endothelial cell-cell contacts built up by VE-cadherin and are under the control of RhoGTPases. Here

Suppression of adaptive immunity to heterologous antigens during Plasmodium infection through hemozoin-induced failure of dendritic cell function [PDF]

, 2005
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are central to the initiation and regulation of the adaptive immune response during infection. Modulation of DC function may therefore allow evasion of the immune system by pathogens. Significant depression of the host'

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Non-canonical activation of PI3Kγ by Ca²⁺/PKCβ in mast cells [PDF]

, 2014
Mast cells are key effector cells in allergic disease triggering inflammation through mediator release. Allergens activate mast cells through the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), which initiates signalling pathways that regulate the release of

Effects of the Fluid Replacement Method During Online Hemodiafiltration on the Solute Removal Performance and Biocompatibility Using the Asymmetric Cellulose Triacetate Membrane

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pre‐dilution online hemodiafiltration (Pre‐HDF) is predominantly used in Japan, whereas post‐dilution online HDF (Post‐HDF) is more common in Europe. An asymmetric cellulose triacetate (ATA) membrane may improve biocompatibility.
