EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite

Evaluation tools applied were: Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Western Ontario … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 7,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Successive Overrelaxation MethodI. K. YoussefProblem statement: A new variant of the Successive Overrelaxation (SOR) method for solving linear algebraic systems, the KSOR method was introduced. The treatment depends on the assumption that the current component can be used simultaneously in the evaluation in addition to the use the most recent calculated components as in the SOR method. Approach: Using the hidden explicit characterization of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Feb 2012 · 12,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Fatigue and Chronic Ankle Instability on Dynamic Postural ControlSeyed Hossein Hosseinimehr, Hassan Daneshmandi, Ali Asghar NorastehProblem statement: The proprioception information is a prerequisite for balance, body's navigation system and the movement coordinator. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fatigue and chronic ankle instability on dynamic postural control. Approach: Thirty physical education students (14 males, 16 females) in two groups (15 healthy age = 21.78±0.79 years, height = 168.3±5.6 cm and … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Porcine Mitochondrial Transcription Factor a Gene: Molecular Characterization, Radiation Hybrid Mapping and Genetic Diversity among 12 Pig BreedsTanja Kunej, Xiao-Lin Wu, Jennifer J. Michal et al.Problem statement: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nucleus-encoded protein that is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription as well as a major participant in mitochondrial genome replication. Genomic characterization of the porcine TFAM gene is, therefore, necessary to determine its involvement in regulation of fat depots and meat quality traits in pigs. Approach: Genomic DNA sequence was determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Complications of HIV Disease and Substances of AbuseLisa R. Norman, Anil KumarIn the last decade, it has become increasingly apparent that neuropsychological deficits and impairments are associated with HIV infection. Given that antiretroviral therapies have extended the life expectancy of HIV-infected persons, it becomes critical to focus on the physical and mental health of these patients. Understanding the neuropsychology of HIV disease can provide insight into improving mental health, functional capacity … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,404 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExperimental Evaluation of Adaptive Step-Size Based FxLMS Approach for Active Noise Control in Magnetic Resonance Imaging SystemsI. Juvanna, Uppu Ramachandraiah, G. Muthukumaran et al.Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners emit up to 135 decibels of acoustic noise, which is a major source of discomfort for patients and personnel evaluating them during routine medical scans, necessitating the development of a method to reduce the acoustic noise generated during MRI testing. The goal of this study is to propose a frequency-domain Active Noise Control (ANC) method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 12 · 24 Nov 2022 · 5,511 accessesView PDFCite
