Objective Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disorder that can impact multiple organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system (PNS). PNS manifestations, which can exist concurrently, include mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, and autonomic nervous system neuropathies.

Electromagnetic Models for the Retrieval of Surface Parameters through SAR Images
Nowadays, several private or public institutions require the knowledge of many ground physical parameters, i.e. permittivity, ground roughness, soil moisture content, vegetation biomass-index, and so on.

Local properties and statistics of phase singularities in generic wavefields
This paper is a review and extension of recent work by Berry and Dennis (Proc R Soc Lond A456, pp2059, 2000; A457, pp141-155, 2001), where the geometric structure of phase singularities (wave dislocations) in waves is studied, particularly for ...

Abstract Several infinite sets of models of random surfaces, defined by means of integrals over matrix ensembles, are solved in a double-scaling limit. These models are exactly soluble in at least two distinct large N limits. The triangulated surfaces are complicated due to the existence of two distinct kinds of vertices in the triangulations. In one

Objective The goal was to assess the diagnostic performance of three novel autoantibodies (NA) for Sjögren disease (SjD) by comparing NA prevalence in patients with SjD, other autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), nonspecific chronic sialadenitis (CS), and controls.

The selection of optimal designs for generalized linear mixed models is complicated by the fact that the Fisher information matrix, on which most optimality criteria depend, is computationally expensive to evaluate.

Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Stochastic Surface Growth [PDF]
Growth phenomena constitute an important field in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Kardar, Parisi, and Zhang (KPZ) in 1986 proposed a continuum theory for local stochastic growth predicting scale invariance with universal exponents and limiting ...

Objective To explore whether higher body fat and lower lean mass are associated with greater pain and worse patient‐reported physical function in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA). A secondary aim was to examine whether pain and patient‐reported physical function differ according to four body composition profiles: high body fat, low lean mass ...

Bacterial surface colonization, preferential attachment and fitness under periodic stress.
Early bacterial surface colonization is not a random process wherein cells arbitrarily attach to surfaces and grow; but rather, attachment events, movement and cellular interactions induce non-random spatial organization. We have only begun to understand
