Circulating adipokines are associated with Kawasaki disease
Background The pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease are still not well understood. It was designed to investigate the relationship between adipokines including chemerin, omentin-1, adiponectin and acute Kawasaki disease.

Risk Model Development and Validation for Prediction of Coronary Artery Aneurysms in Kawasaki Disease in a North American Population. [PDF]
Background Accurate prediction of coronary artery aneurysms ( CAAs ) in patients with Kawasaki disease remains challenging in North American cohorts. We sought to develop and validate a risk model for CAA prediction.

Production of Chemokines in Kawasaki Disease, Henoch-Schönlein Purpura and Acute Febrile Illness [PDF]
We compared the production of three chemokines; interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and growth-related oncogene-α (Gro-α) that attracts monocytes or neutrophils, or both, in peripheral blood at acute ...

An infant with Kawasaki disease having gastrointestinal bleeding due to multiple gastric ulcers
Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis managed mainly through intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), aspirin, and steroids. Although gastrointestinal symptoms are common, gastrointestinal bleeding is rare. We present the case of an 11‐month‐old girl with incomplete KD who developed severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to multiple ...

Maximum Principle Preserving Schemes for Binary Systems with Long-range Interactions [PDF]
We study some maximum principle preserving and energy stable schemes for the Allen-Cahn-Ohta-Kawasaki model with fixed volume constraint. With the inclusion of a nonlinear term in the Ohta-Kawasaki free energy functional, we show that the Allen-Cahn-Ohta-Kawasaki dynamics is maximum principle preserving. We further design some first order energy stable

Abstract Previous in vitro studies have indicated that oxidized phytosterol (OPS) exhibits some toxicity; however, the harmful effects of OPS on fatty acid metabolism are not completely understood yet. Therefore, this study examined the effects of exogenous phytosterol (PS) and OPS on growth parameters and lipid metabolism in rats.
