Cardiovascular complications have emerged as a major concern for cancer patients. Many chemotherapy agents are cardiotoxic and some appear to also alter lipid profiles, although the mechanism for this is unknown. We studied plasma lipid levels in 12 breast cancer patien...

Passive indoor positioning, also known as Device-Free Localization (DFL), has applications such as occupancy sensing, human-computer interaction, fall detection, and many other location-based services in smart buildings. Vision-, infrared-, wireless-based DFL solutions ...

In this paper we introduce a notion of spectral approximation for directed graphs. While there are many potential ways one might define approximation for directed graphs, most of them are too strong to allow sparse approximations in general. In contrast, we prove that f...

The maximum current carrying capacity (ampacity) of power cables depends on the heat transferability of its surrounding medium. Submarine power cable ampacity is calculated conventionally following the international standards defined for underground cables. In reality, ...

Abstract With an ageing society, the demand for health and social care is increasing. Traditionally, staff provide care for their clients rather than with them. In contrast, reablement aims to support people to maximise their competences to manage their everyday life as...

Summary Grading is one of the best prognostic indicators of prostate cancer with Gleason grade 5 having the worst outcome. The prognostic influence of grade 5 patterns remains uncertain. A total of 646 prostate needle biopsy sets with Gleason score (GS) 9–10 prostatic a...

AbstractValproic acid (VPA) and lithium are widely used in the treatment of bipolar disorder. However, the underlying mechanism of action of these drugs is not clearly understood. We used RNA-Seq analysis to examine the global profile of gene expression in a rat seroton...

Background Incomplete revascularization (ICR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is common and is associated with increased rates of rehospitalization, revascularization, and mortality. Adjunctive pharmacotherapy with ranolazine, an inhibitor of the late sod...

ABSTRACT Infection with Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is common in certain parts of Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean, but is rare elsewhere, except in AIDS patients. Nevertheless, HHV8 DNA is found consis...
