Fluctuating Behavior and Influential Factors in the Performance of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube Assay in the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) is a newly developed but widely used interferon-γ release assay for diagnosing tuberculosis (TB). However, research has not determined whether age or the use of an immune suppressive or anti-TB treatment ...

Higher cluster categories and QFT dualities [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2017
We present a unified mathematical framework that elegantly describes minimally SUSY gauge theories in even dimension, ranging from $6d$ to $0d$, and their dualities.

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...

Wiener-Hopf solution of the free energy TBA problem and instanton sectors in the O(3) sigma model

Journal of High Energy Physics
Perturbation theory in asymptotically free quantum field theories is asymptotic. The factorially growing perturbative coefficients carry information about non-perturbative corrections, which can be related to renormalons and instantons.

Comparison of Rifampin and Isoniazid for Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Kidney Transplant Candidates: Focus on Tolerability and Treatment Completion

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This study comparing 4‐month rifampin with 9‐month isoniazid for latent tuberculosis in kidney transplant candidates showed higher treatment completion rates and no transaminase elevations in the rifampin group. However, some patients experienced an increase in blood pressure while taking antihypertensive medications known to interact with rifampin ...

Control robusto de la actitud de un multirrotor empleando una arquitectura de control en cascada con prealimentación

Revista Iberoamericana de Automática e Informática Industrial RIAI
Este trabajo aborda el control robusto de la actitud de un UAV de tipo multirrotor. Como principal novedad destaca el empleo de una estructura de control model-matching en cascada que, junto a los dos controladores de realimentación del ángulo de ...

QuantiFERON-TB Gold PLUS versus QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test for diagnosing tuberculosis infection [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020
Background/Aims QuantiFERON-TB Gold PLUS (QFT-PLUS) was developed as a new version of the interferon-γ (IFN-γ) release assay that contains an extra antigen tube to elicit a CD8+ T-cell response in addition to a CD4+ T-cell response.

Thermal States in Conformal QFT. II [PDF]

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2011
36 pages, no figure. Dedicated to Rudolf Haag on the occasion of his 90th birthday. The final version is available under Open Access. This paper contains corrections to the Araki-Haag-Kaster-Takesaki theorem (and to a proof of the same theorem in the book by Bratteli-Robinson).

Comparison of QFT-Plus and QFT-GIT tests for diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infection in immunocompetent Korean subjects.

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2019
Background QFT-Plus is a recently developed next-generation QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) test. Unlike the QFT-GIT test, it includes a TB2 antigen tube with peptides that may stimulate CD8+ T cells. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance
