Counting Functions and Finite Differences

, 2007
Any increasing function p(d) on the natural numbers has an associated counting function π(n) that yields the number of inputs d for which p(d) ≤ n. In this article we derive three formulas that relate a sequence to its finite difference sequence by way of counting functions and the technique of summation by parts.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Robust imaging approach for precise prediction of postoperative lung function in lung cancer patients prior to curative operation

Thoracic Cancer
Background To create a combined variable integrating both ventilation and perfusion as measured by preoperative dual‐energy computed tomography (DECT), compare the results with predicted postoperative (PPO) lung function as estimated using conventional ...

The counting function for Elkies primes

Journal of Number Theory
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q$ is a prime power. The Schoof--Elkies--Atkin (SEA) algorithm is a standard method for counting the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-points on $E$. The asymptotic complexity of the SEA algorithm depends on the distribution of the so-called Elkies primes.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Photon Counting Integral Imaging Using Compound Photon Counting Model and Adaptive Parametric Maximum Likelihood Estimator

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
In this paper, a statistical approach based on an adaptive parametric estimator is proposed for the three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of objects under photon-starved conditions.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
