Background: Ensuring adequate depth of anesthesia during surgery is essential for anesthesiologists to prevent the occurrence of unwanted alertness during surgery or failure to return to consciousness. Since the purpose of using anesthetics is to affect the central nervous system, brain signal processing such as electroencephalography (EEG) can be used to predict different levels of anesthesia....

Familial dysalbuminaemic hyperthyroxinaemia (FDH) can be confused with thyrotoxicosis if clinical signs and laboratory tests are misinterpreted. We describe three members of the same family with FDH who were erroneously treated for thyrotoxicosis. Screening of other family members resulted in the discovery of a further six patients at risk of being misdiagnosed as thyrotoxic. Clinical and bioch...

A eukaryotic formate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.2, FDH) with its substrate specificity changed from NAD(+) to NADP(+) has been constructed by introducing two single-point mutations, Asp(196)-->Ala (D196A) and Tyr(197)-->Arg (Y197R). The mutagenesis was based on the results of homology modelling of a NAD(+)-specific FDH from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SceFDH) using the Pseudomonas sp.101 FDH (PseFDH...

This research aims to analyze the efficiency level of fourteen Zakat Management Organizations (ZMO) in Indonesia. study uses a quantitative approach with method Free Disposal Hull (FDH) and Super Efficiency (SE) method. Socialization Expense, Operational Salary Expense are input variables, while zakah fund collection distribution become output variables. Empirical findings show that ZMO Corp 4 ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized on platinum plate electrodes by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. From the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and voltammetric investigation, the iron nanoparticles used as a catalyst for the MWCNT synthesis were enclosed with MWCNTs. The MWCNTs synthesized on the Pt plate (MWCNTs/Pt) electrode were immediately immersed ...

The application of deep learning in the field 3D reconstruction has greatly improved quality object reconstruction. For methods that take point cloud as supervision information, previous research mainly focused on network architecture while setting Chamfer Distance (CD) loss default function. However, CD only contains distance information ignoring directional information. In this paper, we intr...

BACKGROUND In a previous study, we found that the amino acid substitution R218H in human serum albumin (HSA) was the cause of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) in several Caucasian patients. Subsequently the substitution R218P was shown to be the cause of FDH in several members of a Japanese family. This study attempts to resolve discrepancies in the only other study of R218P HSA ...
