BACKGROUND Older adults complete suicide at a disproportionately higher rate compared to the general population, with firearms the most common means of suicide. State gun laws may be a policy remedy. Less is known about Gun Violence Restricting Order (GVRO) laws, which allow for removal of firearms from people deemed to be a danger to themselves…[Read more]

s. Conclusion Based on the minority sample density analysis, we propose RSMOTE method that divides the minority sample domain into four regions. The proposed RSMOTE includes four re-sampling methods that each of them carries out resampling on a specific region. According to the experimental results, resampling on the regions with high minority…[Read more]

ronments, owing to their capacity to deconstruct recalcitrant plant-derived polysaccharides (and notably cellulose) into soluble saccharides for subsequent processing. In many ecosystems, the cellulosome-producing bacteria are particularly effective “first responders.” The massive amounts of sugars produced are potentially amenable in industrial…[Read more]

Food allergy (FA) is a growing health problem that affects ∼8% of the children worldwide. Although the prevalence of FA is increasing, the underlying genetic mechanisms responsible for the onset of this immune disorder are not yet clarified. Genetic factors seem to play a leading role in the development of FA, though interaction with e…[Read more]

Metagenomic studies have revealed the presence of a filarial nematode in Ixodes scapularis. The phylogeny of this agent, and its potential for human infection, are unknown.

We used existing metagenomic data from I. scapularis to determine the phylogeny of this tick-associated nematode and employed quantitative PCR to determine if the…[Read more]

Цель исследования – сравнительная оценка энергетической нагрузки и сост…[Read more]

study showed a good response to BoNT-A injection delivered in the management of chronic upper limb spasticity resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury. It demonstrated its outcome in improving muscle tone, function and QoL. It also showed that the majority of patients achieved their goal as defined at the start of the treatment, mainly for…[Read more]

The home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) method that measures blood pressure during sleep hours was reported to be comparable to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in measuring nighttime blood pressure and detecting nocturnal hypertension. The aim of this study was to directly compare the prognostic power of nocturnal hypertension…[Read more]

The total mass concentration of the measured analytes decreased by 93% during wastewater treatment. The analyte concentrations in the wastewater effluent were comparable to those measured in surface water 1 km downstream of the wastewater discharge point. Ultimately, the comprehensive method will serve as an important tool to inform the…[Read more]

It was not possible to reduce the number of strides for the MaxL or TREND. However, for the RR, DET, AVG, and EntD, it was possible to reduce the number of strides by 60% when analyzed together. The minimum sampling frequency required to extract all quantifiers simultaneously was 100 Hz. This potential reduction in the number of strides is…[Read more]
