Apolipoprotein genetic variation in the assessment of atherosclerosis susceptibility
Genetic Epidemiology, 1987AbstractApolipoproteins are the protein constituents of lipoproteins, the particles that transport cholesterol and triglycerides in the plasma. Numerous epidemiologic studies have associated variations in plasma levels of lipoproteins and apolipoproteins with the development of atherosclerosis.

Bioassay method for assessing insecticide susceptibility in thrips
Neotropical EntomologyThrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) are sucking pests that damage a wide range of crops worldwide. Chemical insecticides are the main strategy for their control, but species can vary in susceptibility or develop resistance. Here, we developed and validated a bioassay method (dip test) using soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) leaf discs to evaluate the ...

Assessing age-dependent susceptibility to measles in Japan
Vaccine, 2017Routine vaccination against measles in Japan started in 1978. Whereas measles elimination was verified in 2015, multiple chains of measles transmission were observed in 2016. We aimed to reconstruct the age-dependent susceptibility to measles in Japan so that future vaccination strategies can be elucidated.An epidemiological model was used to quantify ...

Assessing Saudi Susceptibility to Revolution
2001An anti-Western revolution in Saudi Arabia would have severe negative consequences for the West, as the Kingdom possesses more proven petroleum reserves than any other country in the world. Indeed, the Saudi government has closely cooperated with the West in economic, political, and military affairs, and the United States has greatly benefited from its

Susceptibility Assessment of Oscillometry Parameters to Motion Artifact
2024 46th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC)In recent years, the use of remote patient monitoring technologies has extended the diagnosis and surveillance of chronic diseases beyond hospitals. In chronic respiratory diseases, oscillometry measurement has been recognized as a portable approach that can be used in non-laboratory, unsupervised environments to measure lung function serially. In this

Approaches to Assessing Pulmonary Dysfunction and Susceptibility in Workers
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1986Indices of the maximal forced expiration are the most widely adopted method of screening for occupational lung disease because of their ease of measurement, employee acceptability, and reproducibility. However, these indices may lack sensitivity, specificity, or validity in detecting cases of some occupational lung diseases at asymptomatic stages when ...

GeoFIS: An integrated tool for the assessment of landslide susceptibility
Computers & Geosciences, 2014Abstract In this study, requirements of landslide susceptibility mapping by a Mamdani fuzzy inference system (FIS) are identified, and a single standalone application (GeoFIS) is developed. GeoFIS includes two main open source libraries, one for GIS operations and the other for creating Mamdani FIS.

Assessing susceptibility of a temporal discounting task to faking
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2019AbstractObjectiveTemporal discountingdescribes the devaluation of delayed rewards. Because temporal discounting is predictive of substance misuse, its clinical assessment could improve prevention (e.g., identifying at‐risk youth) and treatment (e.g., predicting relapse).

Impact of Adduct Determination on the Assessment of Cancer Susceptibility
1998The characterization of genetic determinants for cancer susceptibility is important for understanding disease pathogenesis and for preventive measures. There is growing evidence that a group of predisposing polymorphic genes exists, such as those involved in carcinogen metabolism and repair, which may increase cancer in certain environmentally exposed ...

Assessment of Susceptibility of Low-Density Lipoprotein to Oxidation
2003It is now recognized that oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a key event in the development of atherosclerosis (1). In vivo, oxidation is believed to occur primarily in the arterial wall. In early atherosclerotic lesions oxidation may be initiated by enzymes, including myeloperoxidase and 15-lipoxygenase, or by reactive nitrogen species ...
