Cooperative and Competitive Biases for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Training a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithm is more challenging than training a single-agent reinforcement learning algorithm, because the result of a multi-agent task strongly depends on the complex interactions among agents and their interactions with a stochastic and dynamic environment.

Addition to inhaled corticosteroids of long-acting beta2-agonists versus anti-leukotrienes for chronic asthma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Asthma patients who continue to experience symptoms despite being on regular inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) represent a management challenge. Long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) or anti-leukotrienes (LTRA) are two treatment options that could be considered ...

Fact-based Agent modeling for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
In multi-agent systems, agents need to interact and collaborate with other agents in environments. Agent modeling is crucial to facilitate agent interactions and make adaptive cooperation strategies. However, it is challenging for agents to model the beliefs, behaviors, and intentions of other agents in non-stationary environment where all agent ...

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents in the Treatment of Asthma in Children

open access: yesCanadian Respiratory Journal, 1995
The increasing scientific information clearly demonstrates the important role of inflammation in asthma. This evidence has led physicians to focus their treatment on the elimination of inflammation instead of working solely against bronchoconstriction ...

Local anaesthetic medication for the treatment of asthma

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
It is presumed that drugs able to prevent bronchial spasm and/or inflammation may have therapeutic potential to control asthma symptoms. The local anaesthetic lidocaine has recently received increased attention as an alternative form of treatment for ...

Pharmacogenetics : the science of predictive clinical pharmacology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The study of pharmacogenetics has expanded from what were initially casual family-based clinical drug response observations, to a fully-fledged science with direct therapeutic applications, all within a time-span of less than 60 years. A wide spectrum of

Phytochemistry and potential therapeutic actions of Boswellic acids: A mini-review

open access: yesAsian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2017
The pentacyclic triterpenic acids isolated from the oleo gum resin of various Boswellia species are collectively called as Boswellic acids (BA). The oleo gum resin obtained from Indian variety i.e.

A transcriptome-driven analysis of epithelial brushings and bronchial biopsies to define asthma phenotypes in U-BIOPRED [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease driven by diverse immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms. We used transcriptomic profiling of airway tissues to help define asthma phenotypes. METHODS: The transcriptome from bronchial biopsies
