Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractK121Q Polymorphism of the ENPP1 Gene is Related to Acute Coronary Syndrome in Ukrainian Patients with Normal but not Enhanced Body Mass IndexInna A. Rozumenko, Victoria Y. Garbusova, Yurij A. Ataman et al.Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase Phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) is a class II membrane glycoprotein with two unrelated properties: It can hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides and downregulate insulin receptor signaling. The present study was carried out to investigate whether common single-nucleotide polymorphism K121Q (rs1044498) of the ENPP1 gene is associated with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in the representatives of Ukrainian population and to assess if … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 15 Jan 2015 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Information Theory Analysis for the Solution of Biomedical Data Processing ProblemsDavid Blokh, Ilia StamblerThe use of information-theoretical methods can be highly valuable for the solution of biomedical data processing problems. Some of the problems that can be solved by those methods include: The assessment of the influence of diagnostic parameters, biomarkers and risk factors, on the emergence of disease; the discretization of diagnostic parameters; the analysis of a combined influence of a group … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2015 · 9,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNEWER DRUGS FOR VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS: A REVIEWKrishna Pandey, Dharmendra Singh, Sanjiva Bimal et al.Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is one of the most neglected tropical diseases worldwide. The diagnosis and treatment of this disease is quite complex. Sodium Antimony Gluconate (SAG) which used to be a very effective treatment has now developed resistance and is potentially a cardio-toxic drug.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXERCISE TRAINING REVERSES THE DELETERIOUS EFFECT OF SUCROSE INTAKE ON INSULIN RESISTANCE AND VISCERAL FAT MASS DEPOSITION ON MICEJulio Cesar Mendes Soares, Vanderlei Folmer, Gustavo Puntel, João B.T. Da RochaAbnormal fat deposition has been identified as an important mechanism of obesity-associated with insulin resistance. Literature data also indicate that exercise can improve insulin action. The heme pathway enzyme δ-Aminolevulinate Dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) is a good marker for oxidative stress and this sulfhydryl enzyme is inhibited in such oxidative pathologies diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2014 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBLOOD VESSEL DIAMETER MEASUREMENT ON RETINAL IMAGENidhal K. El Abbadi, Enas Al SaadiAccurate measurement of vessel diameters on retinal images plays an important part in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and early signs of certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension.
