Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.

Genetic Variation in FADS Genes and Plasma Cholesterol Levels in 2-Year-Old Infants [PDF]
, 2013 Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in fatty acid metabolism (FADS1 FADS2 gene cluster) are associated with plasma lipid levels. We aimed to investigate whether these associations are already present early in life and compare the ...

The Genetic Characteristics of FT-MIRS-Predicted Milk Fatty Acids in Chinese Holstein Cows
AnimalsFourier Transform Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-MIRS) can be used for quantitative detection of milk components. Here, milk samples of 458 Chinese Holstein cows from 11 provinces in China were collected and we established a total of 22 quantitative ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Cognitive impairment and exercise intolerance are common in dialysis patients. Cerebral perfusion and oxygenation play a major role in both cognitive function and exercise execution; HD session per se aggravates cerebral ischemia in this population. This study aimed to compare cerebral oxygenation and perfusion at rest and in mild

On the Implementation and Use of a Genetic Algorithm with Genetic Acquisitions [PDF]
A genetic algorithm is convergent when genetic mutations occur on the objective function gradient direction. These genetic mutations are called genetic acquisitions (Mateescu, 2005).

Mineral nutrition and its genetic signature in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.): A possible panorama for high yielding materials at low fertiliser cost [PDF]
, 2010 Significant differences in the mineral nutrition have been demonstrated between progenies and the main categories at PT Socfindo (Jacquemard et al, 2002). A new set of investigations has been conducted based on a larger genetic background.
