For systems executing repetitive tasks, how to realize the perfect tracking objective is generally desirable, for which an effective method called “iterative learning control (ILC)” emerges thanks to the incorporation of the repetitive execution of systems into an ILC design framework. However, nonrepetitive (iteration-varying) uncertainties are…[Read more]

Data items will be extracted using a predefined data extraction sheet. Moreover, the risk of bias and the quality of evidence were independently assessed using the quality in prognostic studies tool (QUIPS). The I2 and chi squared statistical tests will be used to analyze statistical heterogeneity across studies. An I2 values of > 50% will be…[Read more]

PMMTF reconstruction is a simple, feasible, and effective treatment of DSWI after cardiac surgery in infants and children, with minimal developmental problems.To enable diagnosis of hyperkalemia from the perimortem blood sample, we aim to describe the natural dynamics of blood potassium [K+ ] in patients dying after withdrawal of care while in an…[Read more]

Approximately 70 mm of the PV/SMV was surgically removed and was reconstructed using a graft from the left superficial femoral vein in consideration of the length and diameter. Although delayed gastric emptying was postoperatively observed, the patient was discharged 39 days after operation, then received adjuvant therapy with S-1. The patient is…[Read more]

The relationship between

(

) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was firstly proposed in 1994 after Ward et al demonstrated the role of

in the development of HCC in mice. Studies also investigated the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coexisting with

in causing HCC. A causal relationship was never…[Read more]

Longer-term outcomes of patients post transvenous lead extraction (TLE) are poorly understood in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices.

A propensity score (PS)-matched analysis evaluating outcomes post TLE in CRT and non-CRT populations was performed.

Data from consecutive patients undergoing TLE between…[Read more]

Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) children have a particular metabolic and hormonal pattern at birth that changes rapidly.

To evaluate the linear and weight growth in the first year of life in SGA children.

Prospective, monocentric cohort study.

Real-world data collected from April 2012 to January 2016.

SGA newborns…[Read more]

To evaluate the performance of an FFQ for estimating dietary contributions of NOVA groups to individuals’ diets with a specific focus on ultra-processed foods (UPF) compared with a single 24-h dietary recall (24HR).

All consumed foods and beverages assess with both a 109-item FFQ and a single 24HR were classified into one of four NOVA…[Read more]

durable relief of symptoms of gastric pain/cramps, acidity, bloating, nausea, and bothersome fullness; an improvement in quality of life; and a high level of consumer satisfaction.

The global neonatal death rate was predicted to be 18 per 1000 live births during the first 28 days of life. Ethiopia continues to have one of the highest n…[Read more]

The inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase are important for the maintenance of blood glucose level. Mammalian α-glucosidase includes maltase-glucoamylase and sucrase-isomaltase complexes. In this study, we examined the inhibitory effects of Morus australis fruit extract and its components, that is, three iminosugars (1-deoxynojirimycin [1…[Read more]

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) manifests with blistering and erosions of the skin and mucous membranes due to mutations in COL7A1. The repetitive wound healing processes lead to extensive cutaneous scarring. The scarring is driven by inflammatory processes, particularly the TGF-β signaling pathways, resulting in excess…[Read more]

The essential oil of Rosa damascena is extensively used as a key natural ingredient in the perfume and cosmetic industries. However, the productivity and quality of rose oil are a big concern from the old plantation. It is hypothesized that rejuvenation of old rose plantations through ground-level pruning at right time could improve the yield of…[Read more]
