Thermodynamic and Kinetic Analysis of Sensitivity Amplification in Biological Signal Transduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Based on a thermodynamic analysis of the kinetic model for the protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle, we study the ATP (or GTP) energy utilization of this ubiquitous biological signal transduction process.

Transverse NMR relaxation as a probe of mesoscopic structure

open access: yes, 2002
Transverse NMR relaxation in a macroscopic sample is shown to be extremely sensitive to the structure of mesoscopic magnetic susceptibility variations. Such a sensitivity is proposed as a novel kind of contrast in the NMR measurements. For suspensions of

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background Ultrasound (US) has largely replaced contrast venography as the definitive diagnostic test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We aimed to derive a definitive estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of US for clinically suspected DVT and identify ...

Natural History Note Differential Response To Circularly Polarized Light By The Jewel Scarab Beetle Chrysina Gloriosa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Circularly polarized light is rare in the terrestrial environment, and cuticular reflections from scarab beetles are one of the few natural sources.

Contrast visual acuity in patients with retinitis pigmentosa assessed by a contrast sensitivity tester

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012
Purpose: To assess contrast visual acuity (CVA) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and compare the result with standard visual acuity (VA), retinal thickness, status of inner segment/outer segment junction, and central visual field. Materials and

Contrast Sensitivity and Asthenopia Analysis in Workers

open access: yesActa Medica Bulgarica
In the digital age, complaints of eyestrain, or asthenopia, have become increasingly common. This condition is often associated with prolonged near-work activities, such as extended use of computers or digital devices, with reported prevalence rates ...

Association of Photopic and Mesopic Contrast Sensitivity in older drivers with risk of motor vehicle collision using naturalistic driving data

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2020
Background Older drivers have a crash rate nearly equal to that of young drivers whose crash rate is the highest among all age groups. Contrast sensitivity impairment is common in older adults.

Alterations in center-surround contrast suppression in patients with major depressive disorder

open access: yesScientific Reports
Previous pattern electroretinogram studies indicate reduced retinal contrast gain in patients with a major depressive disorder (MDD) which may contribute to alterations in visual perception.
