Autoantibody Profiling in Multiple Sclerosis

Pasting in Multiple Categories

In the literature there are several kinds of concrete and abstract cell complexes representing composition in n-categories, ω-categories or ∞-categories, and the slightly more general partial ω-categories. Some examples are parity complexes, pasting schemes and directed complexes. In this paper we give an axiomatic treatment: that is to say, we study the class of ‘ω-complexes’ which consists of...

Dynamically Adjusting Categories to Accommodate Changing Contexts

Context Concept formation is the process by which generalizations are formed through observation of instances from the environment. These instances are described along a number of attributes, which are selected according to their relevance to the problem or task for which the concepts will be used. The context of a concept learning problem consists of the goals and tasks of the learner, as well...

Autoantibody profile in individuals with chronic hepatitis C.

INTRODUCTION Autoantibodies are often produced during infection with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV), but it remains controversial whether they influence the biochemical profile and histological features of this disease. Therefore, this current study sought to describe these autoantibodies and evaluate their impact on the clinical and histological presentation of hepatitis C. METHODS This cro...
