Impaired biotin status in anticonvulsant therapy [PDF]
In 264 epileptics undergoing long-term therapy with anticonvulsants, significantly reduced plasma biotin levels were found compared with a normal control group: 74% of the epileptics had biotin levels for those treated with sodium valproate were higher ...

Study on Neural Immune PD Type Tracking Control for DC Actuating Mechanism [PDF]
Artificial Immune Systems(AIS) have been widely used in different fields, such as control, robotics, computer science and multi-agent systems. In this paper is proposed a new approach of neural immune PD type tracking control combining artificial immune control with neural network.

ISG15 protects human Tregs from interferon alpha‐induced contraction in a cell‐intrinsic fashion
Objectives Type I interferons (IFNs) inhibit regulatory T‐cell (Treg) expansion and activation, making them beneficial in antiviral responses, but detrimental in autoimmune diseases.

Illuminating Immunity: A Systematic Review of Immune Cell Autofluorescence
ABSTRACT Immunophenotyping provides valuable prognostic and diagnostic information, but is technically complex and expensive. The assessment of autofluorescence is label‐free and provides complex information on cell identity. However, research on its application to immunophenotyping has been heterogenous.

Latent class analysis to characterize neonatal risk for neurodevelopmental differences
Background Neonatal risk factors, such as preterm birth and low birth weight, have been robustly linked to neurodevelopmental deficits, yet it is still unclear why some infants born preterm and/or low birth weight experience neurodevelopmental difficulties while others do not.

Canonical immunity and genericity [PDF]
Whereas the usual notions of immunity -- e.g., immunity, hyperimmunity, etc. -- are associated with Cohen genericity, canonical immunity, as introduced by Beros, Khan and Kjos-Hanssen, is associated instead with Mathias genericity. Specifically, every Mathias generic is canonically immune and no Cohen 2-generic computes a canonically immune set.

Term infant formula macronutrient composition: An update for clinicians
Abstract Protein, carbohydrates, and fats comprise the macronutrient components of infant formulas. While all infant formulas in the United States meet specific nutrition standards, the macronutrient composition of formulas is diverse. Each macronutrient in the formula may play a role in treating or managing the disease.
