Testing if an Array Is Sorted
Suppose we would like to check whether a given array of real numbers is sorted (say, in nondecreasing order). Performing this task exactly requires reading the entire array. Here we consider the approximate version of the problem: testing whether an array is sorted or “far” from sorted. We consider two natural definitions of the distance of a given array from a sorted array. Intuitively, we wou...
متن کاملThe rise of cholesterol testing: how much is unnecessary.
BACKGROUND Laboratory testing has increased dramatically over recent decades, which is a consequence particularly of repeat testing or monitoring, as either a response to treatment or follow-up. AIM To assess rates of measurement of lipid levels (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, triglyceride) for diagnosis and monitoring over the last 20 years. DESIGN OF STUDY Audit of electroni...
متن کاملIslet Amyloid Polypeptide is not a Target Antigen for CD8+ T-Cells in Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder in which beta-cells are destroyed. The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) produced by beta-cells has been reported to influence beta-cell destruction. Objective: To evaluate if IAPP can act as an autoantigen and therefore, to see if CD8 + T-cells specific for this protein might be present in T2D patients. Methods: Peripheral blood ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a novel antigen detection test for histoplasmosis.
Histoplasmosis is an important systemic fungal infection, particularly among immunocompromised individuals living or travelling in areas of endemicity, who, without antifungal therapy, may develop a progressive disseminated fatal infection. For such patients, the detection of antibody responses by immunodiffusion or complement fixation test is of limited use. In contrast, the detection of Histo...
متن کاملLepromin Testing with Diluted Antigen
It is now a well-recognized fact that, imperfect as 'modern treatment of leprosy may be, the results of it are making it more and more difficult in most places to obtain bacillus-rich lepromas suitable for makinglepromin. And at the same time more and more stress is being laid on the use of the Mitsuda test, for which that antigen is required. Thus has arisen a new and unprecedented problem. On...
