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 ...

Distance Measures for Geometric Graphs

Computational Geometry, 2023
A geometric graph is a combinatorial graph, endowed with a geometry that is inherited from its embedding in a Euclidean space. Formulation of a meaningful measure of (dis-)similarity in both the combinatorial and geometric structures of two such geometric graphs is a challenging problem in pattern recognition.

Distance Measure for Ordinal Data [PDF]

, 1999
The study considers the problem of construction measures of similarity for ordinal data. The ordinal character of the data required the application of a specific measure of the object’s distance. Walesiak (1993, p.

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

A Divergence-Based Distance Measure for Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Its Application in the Decision-Making of Innovation Management

IEEE Access, 2020
The theory of intuitionistic fuzzy set has attracted much attention because of its stronger ability in depicting and modeling uncertainty. Recent years, numbers of distance measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been proposed to distinguish the ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Similarity measures on cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets [PDF]

Notes on IFS
The primary objective of this study is to develop a similarity measure on cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets. First, we have proposed a series of similarity measures on cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets based on the geometric model, set-theoretic approach ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the
