The Effect of Multi-Parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Standard of Care for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Protocol for a Randomized Control Trial

JMIR Research Protocols, 2020
BackgroundThe rising prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the more aggressive subtype, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a global public health concern.

Beyond Visible Differences: An Experimental Investigation Into the Role of Cognitive Diversity Awareness in Shaping Team Dynamics

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between team composition and organizational outcomes is a critical topic in many managerial and business contexts. In this study, we utilize an experimental research method to examine the impact of cognitive diversity on team dynamics.

Nash implementation with little communication [PDF]

Theoretical Economics, 2010
The paper considers the communication complexity (measured in bits or real numbers) of Nash implementation of social choice rules. A key distinction is whether we restrict to the traditional one-stage mechanisms or allow multistage mechanisms. For one-stage mechanisms, the paper shows that for a large and important subclass of monotonic choice rules ...

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Carbon, Nitrogen, and Corresponding Stable Isotope Signatures Reveal Channel Banks as Major Sediment Sources in a Tropical Agricultural Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uncertainties about the applicability of δ13C and δ15N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ13C and δ15N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil ...

Fair Resource Allocation for System Throughput Maximization in Mobile Edge Computing

IEEE Access, 2018
Communication resource allocation is important for improving the performance of users in mobile edge computing (MEC) scenarios. In existing studies, the users in the MEC system typically suffer from unfair resource allocation, which results in the ...

No App, No Entry: Conceptualizing Digital Technology Captivity in Service Access

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce Digital Technology Captivity (DTC), a form of consumer vulnerability that arises when digital technologies become the mandatory gateway to essential services. When access is tied to systems that feel unfamiliar, complex, or intimidating—and when preferred alternatives are limited—consumers may experience heightened vulnerability ...

Nanoformulated Diacerein Alleviates Hyperlipidemia via Gut Microbiota Modulation In Vivo

Nano Select, EarlyView.
A nanoformulation of diacerein (Nano‐DIA) was fabricated with carboxymethyl cellulose, achieving enhanced solubility and rapid dissolution for alternative anti‐hyperlipidemia therapeutics. Mechanistic studies revealed its in vivo lipid‐lowering efficacy is through metabolite‐mediated and microbiota‐dependent manner, highlighting its dual action on host
