Immunoglobulin A and liver diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a major immunoglobulin isotype in the gut and plays a role in maintenance of gut homeostasis. Secretory IgA (SIgA) has multiple functions in the gut, such as to regulate microbiota composition, to protect intestinal epithelium ...

COMP Report: CPQR technical quality control guidelines for use of positron emission tomography/computed tomography in radiation treatment planning

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Positron emission tomography with x‐ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being utilized for radiation treatment planning (RTP). Accurate delivery of RT therefore depends on quality PET/CT data. This study covers quality control (QC) procedures required for PET/CT for diagnostic imaging and incremental QC required for RTP.

NEUTROPHIL-LYMPHOCYTE RATIO IN GUILLAIN-BARRÉ SYNDROME: A PROGNOSTIC MARKER TO PREDICT MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN EARLY STAGE OF THE DISEASE

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a life-threatening autoimmune disorder, triggered by an antecedent infection mostly by Campylobacter jejuni through molecular mimicry against host nerve gangliosides.

Building GUTs from strings [PDF]

open access: yesNucl.Phys.B465:34-70,1996, 1995
We study in detail the structure of Grand Unified Theories derived as the low-energy limit of orbifold four-dimensional strings. To this aim, new techniques for building level-two symmetric orbifold theories are presented. New classes of GUTs in the context of symmetric orbifolds are then constructed.

Clinical commissioning of an adaptive radiotherapy platform: Results and recommendations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Online adaptive radiotherapy platforms present a unique challenge for commissioning as guidance is lacking and specialized adaptive equipment, such as deformable phantoms, are rare. We designed a novel adaptive commissioning process consisting of end‐to‐end tests using standard clinical resources.

The orphan germinant receptor protein GerXAO (but not GerX3b) is essential for L-alanine induced germination in Clostridium botulinum Group II

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Clostridium botulinum is an anaerobic spore forming bacterium that produces the potent botulinum neurotoxin that causes a severe and fatal neuro-paralytic disease of humans and animals (botulism). C.

ASSOCIATION OF HYPOALBUMINEMIA WITH DISEASE SEVERITY AND MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN GUILLAIN-BARRÉ SYNDROME

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an immune-mediated polyneuropathy with variable clinical manifestation, prognosis and outcome. Despite of the proven efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), 20% patients remain disabled with 2-19% mortality ...

Gut microbiota of migrating wild rabbit fish (Siganus guttatus) larvae have low spatial and temporal variability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigated the gut microbiota of rabbit fish larvae at three locations in Vietnam (ThuanAn-northern, QuangNam-intermediate, BinhDinh-southern sampling site) over a three-year period. In the wild, the first food for rabbit fish larvae remains unknown,

Genomic analysis on broiler-associated Clostridium perfringens strains and exploratory caecal microbiome investigation reveals key factors linked to poultry necrotic enteritis

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2019
Background Clostridium perfringens is a key pathogen in poultry-associated necrotic enteritis (NE). To date there are limited Whole Genome Sequencing based studies describing broiler-associated C. perfringens in healthy and diseased birds.

A Note on Local GUT Models in F-Theory [PDF]

open access: yesNucl.Phys.B824:273-295,2010, 2009
We construct non-minimal GUT local models in the F-theory configuration. The gauge group on the bulk G_S is one rank higher than the GUT gauge group. The line bundles on the curves are non-trivial to break G_S down to the GUT gauge groups. We demonstrate examples of SU(5) GUT from G_S=SU(6) and G_S=SO(10), the flipped SU(5) from G_S=SO(10), and the SO ...
