Characteristics and outcomes of older patients undergoing out- versus inpatient surgery in Europe. A secondary analysis of the Peri-interventional Outcome Study in the Elderly (POSE). [PDF]

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
Abstract Background The number of older patients undergoing surgical procedures with anaesthesia care is projected to rise. In order to cope with the increased demand, the expansion of outpatient surgery may play a decisive role. We aim to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of the older outpatient population.

Prion protein-Semisynthetic prion protein (PrP) variants with posttranslational modifications. [PDF]

J Pept Sci, 2019
The key pathophysiologic event in prion diseases is based on a conformational change of cellular (PrPC) into scrapie prion protein (PrPSc) and is closely linked to posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Semisynthesis offers a unique opportunity to study the impact of PTMs on prion conversion, transmission, and pathogenicity, which is the major focus ...

On a Family of Parameter‐Based Bernstein Type Operators with Shape‐Preserving Properties

Journal of Mathematics, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
This article aims to introduce a new linear positive operator with a parameter. Our focus lies in analyzing the distinct characteristics and inherent properties exhibited by this operator. Additionally, we provide a proof of the convergence rate and present a revised version of the Voronovskaja theorem specifically tailored for this newly defined ...

The IDIP framework for assessing protein function and its application to the prion protein

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 1907-1932, October 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT The quest to determine the function of a protein can represent a profound challenge. Although this task is the mandate of countless research groups, a general framework for how it can be approached is conspicuously lacking. Moreover, even expectations for when the function of a protein can be considered to be ‘known’ are not well defined.

Approximation Theorem for New Modification of q‐Bernstein Operators on (0,1)

Journal of Function Spaces, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
In this work, we extend the works of F. Usta and construct new modified q‐Bernstein operators using the second central moment of the q‐Bernstein operators defined by G. M. Phillips. The moments and central moment computation formulas and their quantitative properties are discussed.

From prion diseases to prion-like propagation mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. [PDF]

Int J Cell Biol, 2013
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative sporadic, inherited, or acquired disorders. In humans, Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease is the most studied prion disease. In animals, the most frequent prion diseases are scrapie in sheep and goat, bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle, and the emerging chronic wasting disease in wild and captive deer in North ...

Weighted Simultaneous Approximation of the Linear Combinations of Baskakov Operators

Complexity, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
In this paper, the approximation property of the linear combinations of Baskakov operators is investigated by using a Jacobi weight function. Moreover, both the positive and inverse theorems for the weighted simultaneous approximation of the linear combinations of Baskakov operators are proved.

Generalized (p, q)‐Gamma‐type operators

Journal of Function Spaces, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
In the present paper, the generalized (p, q)‐gamma‐type operators based on (p, q)‐calculus are introduced. The moments and central moments are obtained, and some local approximation properties of these operators are investigated by means of modulus of continuity and Peetre K‐functional.

On (p, q)‐Analogue of Gamma Operators

Journal of Function Spaces, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
In this paper, a kind of new analogue of Gamma type operators based on (p, q)‐integers is introduced. The Voronovskaja type asymptotic formula of these operators is investigated. And some other results of these operators are studied by means of modulus of continuity and Peetre K−functional.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2017., 2017
Abstract In April and May of 2016, Norway confirmed two cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a wild reindeer and a wild moose, respectively. In the light of this emerging issue, the European Commission requested EFSA to recommend surveillance activities and, if necessary, additional animal health risk‐based measures to prevent the introduction of ...
