Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANTI-PHOSPHATIDYL INOSITOLE ANTIBODIES IN PATIENTS WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND HEALTHY SUBJECTSAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Shojaei, Fatemeh Mehdizadeh et al.Immune system and inflamation is widely known to play a key role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Anti-Phospholipid (aPL) antibodies may act in the induction of immunological response leading to the development of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Anti-Phosphatidyl Inositole (PI) Antibody (Ab) has been seen in various diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid antibody … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2014 · 7,185 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Anti-Phosphatidylcholine Antibodies with Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Comparative StudyAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Shojaei, Mohammad Reza Farjam, Abdolhossien MadaniMany factors play a role in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). One those anti-Phospholipid (aPL) antibodies, that may act in the induction of immunological response leading to the development of AMI. Anti-Phosphatidylcholines (PC) antibody is detected in various diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome. The study of anti-PC antibody in AMI might shed light on etiologic … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2013 · 7,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of enzyme Immunoassay with Immunofluorescence Assay for the Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Respiratory Tract Infections in ChildrenOsama Mohammed Saed Abdul-WahabMycoplasma pneumoniae is a frequent cause of acute respiratory infections in both children and adults. Currently, diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infection will based principally on serology and the detection of IgM can provide an early and sensitive diagnosis in children. A variety of commercial immunodiagnostic assays, such as Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) assay and Indirect Immunofluorescence (IFA), are now available … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2013 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with Respiratory Tract Infections in ChildrenOsama Mohammed Saed Abdul-Wahab, Ahmed Mossa Al-Hakami, Ayed Abdullah Shati et al.Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of four most common species of organisms that are responsible for most clinically significant infections in humans. It is a frequent cause of acute respiratory infections in both children and adults. The organism can cause pharyngitis, otitis, tracheobronchitis, or community-acquired pneumonia, but patients may also remain totally asymptomatic. Aim of this prospective study for children, was … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2013 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection With Ischemic Heart DiseasesAbdullah S. Assiri, Adil H. Alshehri, Osama M.S. Abdul-Wahab et al.Association of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease well known main pathophysiologic basis for Ischemic Heart Diseases and Myocardial Infarction and due to major risk factors such as high plasma level of low density lipoprotein, low plasma level of high density lipoprotein, cigarette smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, infection with few infectious agents such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae that might associated with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 11 Oct 2012 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh-Order Interactions in Rheumatoid Arthritis Detected by Bayesian Method using Genome-Wide Association Studies DataJing Zhang, Zheyang Wu, Chao Gao, Michael Q. ZhangProblem statement: In order to reveal the missing genetic component of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) susceptibility, we carried out a genome-wide high-order epistatic interaction study for RA. Approach: A powerful Bayesian strategy was applied to analyze the data of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) from the Welcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC), where 319 high-order interactions were found across the whole genome … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2012 · 8,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Determination of Disease Associated Differences in Haplotype BlocksIvan Kozyryev, Jing ZhangProblem statement: While experimental ascertainment of haplotype blocks in the genome-scale case-control studies is expensive, accurate computational phasing is still a daunting task for bioinformatics approaches. We used a statistical method to determine differences, potentially associated with a certain disease, in linkage disequilibrium block boundaries in whole-genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) data. Approach: We utilized a Bayesian model for calculating … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2012 · 8,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on the Effects of Non-Normality on the Performances of Max-DEWMA Versus SS-DEWMA ChartsTeh Sin Yin, Michael Khoo Boon ChongProblem statement: The called the Sum of Squares Double Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (SS-DEWMA) chart which is effective in detecting shifts in the mean and/or variance is compared with the Max-DEWMA (called the maximum double exponentially weighted moving average) chart. The comparison is based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic of the process is normal or … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2012 · 7,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Triclabendazole and Levamisole on Experimental Hydatic Cyst in RatGaredaghi Yagoob, Khayatnouri Mirhadi, Sadeghi Peyman, Safarmashaei SaeidProblem statement: Hydatidosis has dispersed worldly and is one of the common dangerous diseases between human and animals and is found abundantly in areas that human, dogs and herbivorous are in close relationship. Approach: In this study, firstly, 32 rats were divided into two groups of control and case and 2000 protoscolices were injected into peritoneal hole. After two months, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 Aug 2011 · 8,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-β2 Glycoprotein-I Antibody in Acute Myocardial InfarctionMohammad Shojaei, Abdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Hamideh Ebadat et al.Problem statement: Ischemic cardiac manifestations have been reported in a various percentage of patients with anti-phospholipid antibodies. Data concerning the relation between anti- Phospholipid (aPL) antibodies and myocardial infarction in subjects without evidence of overt autoimmune disease are conflicting. Anti-beta2 glycoprotein-I (anti-beta2-GPI) antibody is detected in various diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome.
