Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) migration and invasion through the decidualized endometrium is essential to successful placentation. SGHPL-4 cells, an EVT cell line derived from first trimester placenta, is a widely used model of cytotrophoblast differentiation into an invasive phenotype. Here we describe a quantitative cell migration assay that can be modified to also measure cell invasion. SGH...

We introduce a new approach to anomaly detection based on extreme value theory statistics. Our method improves detection accuracy by replacing binary feature thresholds with anomaly scores and by modeling the tail region of the distribution where anomalies occur. It requires no optimization or tuning and provides insights into results. This work describes the Extreme Value Theory-Anomaly Detect...

1. My wife tells me that it’s raining, and as a result, I now have a reason to believe that it’s raining. But what kind of reason for belief does her testimony provide me with? According to the evidential view of testimony (EVT), what my wife’s testimony provides me with is evidence: evidence indicating that she believes that it’s raining, which then indicates that it is indeed raining. Until r...

Background and Purpose The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the influence of temporal patterns related to the availability of new endovascular treatment (EVT) devices on care processes and outcomes among patients with AIS. Materials and Methods We enrolled 720 consecutive patients (January 2011 to May 2016) in a retrospective registry, ASIAN KR, from three Korean hospitals, who rec...

Novelty detection, or one-class classification, aims to determine if data are “normal” with respect to some model of normality constructed using examples of normal system behaviour. If that model is composed of generative probability distributions, the extent of “normality” in the data space can be described using Extreme Value Theory (EVT), a branch of statistics concerned with describing the ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS 1) To clarify essential voice tremor (EVT) phenomenology; 2) To report a management paradigm for essential voice tremor using botulinum toxin. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. METHODS Phenomenology from patients diagnosed with EVT between April 1996 and March 2012 was recorded, charted, and analyzed. A paradigm for treatment of EVT u...

Today there is a widespread use of endovascular treatment (EVT) for traumatic vascular injuries in adults, but there is lack of evidence of its use in adolescent patients with vascular injuries. With this case, we present successful EVT of 14-year-old adolescent with a right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) due to war injury. SAP was successfully excluded with deployment of 6 × 50 mm flex...

Road safety applications are one of the main incentives to deploy vehicular networks. These applications rely on periodic message exchange among vehicles (known as beaconing). The beacon messages contain information about the environment which is used to perceive dangerous situations and alert the drivers. The inter-beacon delay is the time between two consecutive beacons received from a car. I...

avorable results have been obtained with endovascular treatment (EVT) for iliac artery lesions, compared with lesions of the femoral artery, even in the follow-up period.1–5 The therapeutic strategy for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is generally selected according to the lesion type based on the morphological stratification of the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC-I).6 In 2007, th...
