Gravitational dynamics in s+1+1 dimensions II. Hamiltonian theory [PDF]
Phys.Rev.D77:024003,2008, 2007 We develop a Hamiltonian formalism of brane-world gravity, which singles out two preferred, mutually orthogonal directions. One is a unit twist-free field of spatial vectors with integral lines intersecting perpendicularly the brane. The other is a temporal vector field with respect to which we perform the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner decomposition of the ...

Myasthenia Gravis and COVID-19: Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Myasthenia gravis (MG), an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder, may be a risk factor for severe COVID-19. We conducted an observational retrospective study with 15 consecutive adult MG patients admitted with COVID-19 at four hospitals in São Paulo, Brazil.

High CTLA-4 expression correlates with poor prognosis in thymoma patients [PDF]
, 2018 Thymomas, tumors that arise from epithelial cells of the thymus gland, are the most common neoplasms of the anterior mediastinum, with an incidence rate of approximately 2.5 per million/year.

Docetaxel/cisplatin therapy in myasthenia gravis with hypertension/diabetes
Open Medicine, 2017 Therapeutic options for thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis (MG) patients complicated with hypertension and/or diabetes post thymectomy are often conventional steroids. As the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension globally increases, other therapeutic

Autoimmunity and Immunodeficiency Coexisting in the Same Patient [PDF]
Bengal Physician Journal, 2023 Myasthenia gravis is a well-known autoimmune disorder. Very few cases in literature showed association of myasthenia gravis, thymoma, and oral candidiasis. Here, we present a case of myasthenia gravis with thymoma, significant weight loss, extensive oral

Generalized Modified Gravity in Large Extra Dimensions [PDF]
Phys.Lett. B635 (2006) 343-349, 2006 We discuss effective interactions among brane matter induced by modifications of higher dimensional Einstein gravity through the replacement of Einstein-Hilbert term with a generic function f(R, R_AB R^AB, R_ABCD R^ABCD) of the curvature tensors. We determine gravi-particle spectrum of the theory, and perform a comparative analysis of its predictions ...

Concentric Needle Jitter in 97 Myasthenia Gravis Patients
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Objectives: To estimate the jitter parameters (single-fiber electromyography) in myasthenia gravis patients mostly by electrical activation in Frontalis, Orbicularis Oculi, and Extensor Digitorum muscles using a concentric needle electrode.Methods ...
