Interleukin-8 but Not Interleukin-6 Variant May Affect Susceptibility to Brucellosis
Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...
متن کاملConfusing medical terms: disease that may or may not exist.
Patients often quote diseases or illnesses that either do not exist per se or are hard to prove that they exist. Often symptoms are vague and, therefore, difficult for patients to qualify in a language clinicians can understand, interpret and act upon. Physicians often perpetuate this by giving 'diagnoses of exclusion', or using poor explanations, oversimplifications, conflicting diagnostic cri...
متن کاملThe climate envelope may not be empty.
A recent paper (1) purported to document negligible climatic determination among European bird species, with implications for forecasting range shifts in changing climates. However, only 12 of 100 species analyzed were endemic—thus, for the remaining 88% of test species, key limits with likely climatic determination were excluded, particularly eastward and southward (2). Second, the authors dev...
متن کاملWater filling may not good neighbors make
Abstract— Consider a wireless system with multiple and independent user-base pairings over some region. Each user tries to greedily optimize its performance, and eventually a simultaneous water-filling fixed point is reached. Here we seek to analytically understand properties of different water-filling fixed points. In so doing we show that water-filling alone does not generally result in optim...
متن کاملSearch Solid Membranes May Not Crumple
A membrane that is not rigid in the plane, or has zero in-plane shear modulus, is said to be fluid; one that does have a nonzero shear modulus in the plane is said to be solid-like. A fluid membrane shaped, say, like a rectangle will be easily deformed when antiparallel forces are applied along two of its parallel edges. In many cases the interesting excitations, or conformations, of a fluid me...
