Established French loanwords in Sango - A pilot study
This study is an initial attempt to describe the established French loanwords in the lingua franca Sango, which is the main language spoken in the Central African Republic (CAR). It is a second language for the majority of the population of 3 million people for whom a great number of vernaculars serve as first languages. French loanwords in Sango are prompted by the contact between Sango and Frenc
Association Between Fecal Calprotectin Levels and Small-bowel Inflammation Score in Capsule Endoscopy : A Multicenter Retrospective Study
BACKGROUND: Accurate inflammation reporting in capsule endoscopy (CE) is important for diagnosis and monitoring of treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a highly specific biomarker of gut inflammation. Lewis score (LS) was developed to standardize quantification of inflammation in small-bowel (SB) CE images.GOALS: Multicenter retrospective study aiming to invest
Enhanced mesophilic bio-hydrogen production of raw rice straw and activated sewage sludge by co-digestion
In this study, batch biohydrogen production by co-digestion of raw rice straw and activated sewage sludge was investigated with different inoculum heat treatment, pH, S/X ratio (based on VS) and substrate sizes under mesophilic condition. In order to achieve a high bio-hydrogen yield and methanogens activity inhibition, heat treatment of inoculum was optimized at different exposure times (30, 45 &
The Combination of Biomarkers for Prognostication of Long-Term Outcome in Patients Treated with Mild Hypothermia After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest-A Pilot Study
To explore if the brain biomarker neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in combination with a biomarker for stress; CT-proAVP (copeptin), oxidation; peroxiredoxin 4 (Prx4), inflammation; procalcitonin (PCT), or with biomarkers from the heart; midregional proatrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), or troponin T (TnT) can improve the prognostic accuracy of long-term outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arr

Patients Referred for Bleeding Symptoms of Unknown Cause : Does Evaluation of Thrombin Generation Contribute to Diagnosis?
INTRODUCTION: Patients with mild to moderate bleeding symptoms referred for coagulation investigation sometimes never receive a definitive diagnosis. Bleed assessment tools have been developed and validated to assess the severity of symptoms. Global coagulation assays, e.g., the thrombin generation test (thrombogram) have a potential to identify hemostatic defects that are not detected in specific
ORGAN DOSES AND EFFECTIVE DOSE FOR FIVE PET RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS
Diagnostic investigations with positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals are dominated by (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG), but other radiopharmaceuticals are also commercially available or under development. Five of them, which are all clinically important, are (18)F-fluoride, (18)F-fluoroethyltyrosine ((18)F-FET), (18)F-deoxyfluorothymidine ((18)F-FLT), (18)F-fluorocholine ((18)F-choline) and (
Matching authority and VGI road networks using an extended node-based matching algorithm
The amount of volunteered geographic information (VGI) has increased over the past decade, and several studies have been conducted to evaluate the quality of VGI data. In this study, we evaluate the completeness of the road network in the VGI data set OpenStreetMap (OSM). The evaluation is based on an accurate and efficient network-matching algorithm. The study begins with a comparison of the two
A Biomarker Panel Increases the Diagnostic Performance for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Type I and II in Young Women
BACKGROUND/AIM: To assess preoperative blood levels of a biomarker panel in relation to the new classification system of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) type I and II.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Preoperative plasma levels of B7-family protein homolog 4 (B7-H4), intact and cleaved soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) wer
Measuring and Evaluating Bitumen Coverage of Stones using two Different Digital Image Analysis Methods
The most used pavement for paved roads in the world is asphalt. It is therefore important that the asphalt is as durable as possible to avoid expensive repairs of the roads. One important factor of the durability of the road is the adherence between the stones and the bitumen that holds the stones together. The affinity is tested by the so called rolling bottle test, where one put stones covered i
Treatment with oral anticoagulant drugs restrained from patients with atrial fibrillation : An assessment in a geographically well-defined catchment area
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects about 3.2% of the adult population in the western world and incurs an annual stroke risk of 4.5%. The use of oral anticoagulant (OAC) drugs significantly reduces this risk. OAC drugs seem to be under-utilized, but little is known about why their use is restrained in routine clinical management. The aim of this study was to assess this issue and, from th
Leukemic stem cell quantification in newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia patients predicts response to nilotinib therapy
PURPOSE: Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) may harbor important resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We identified Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) positive CD34+CD38- bone marrow cells (here denoted LSCs) and addressed their response-predictive value in CML patients (n=48) subjected to nilotinib in the ENEST1st trial (NCT01061177).EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Two flow cytometr
