BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid which improves intestinal mucosal regeneration and absorption. Glutathione is a vital molecule for antioxidant reactions and is synthesized from cystine. The first aim of the study is to measure the plasma glutamine and cystine in children with celiac disease (CD) and compare them with controls. The second aim of this study is to ...

A growing body of research in clinical psychology is now relying on Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). EMA is fitted to investigate fluctuating processes and as such, it is of particular interest in a clinical context in which patients are often characterized by fluctuating behaviors and affective states or symptoms. EMA typically involves frequent self-evaluations over long periods, which ...

Background and Objective: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are two common tumors of the skin. In some cases, distinction between BCC and SCC can be difficult. This study aimed to clarify this uncertainty through immunohistochemical analysis. In this respect, epithelial membran...

Two types of side-channel attack (SCA)— electromagnetic analysis (EMA) and correlation power analysis (CPA)—are conducted on the latest 28-nm field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device. SCA exploits leakage of physical information, such as power consumption or electromagnetic (EM) radiation, from a cryptographic device to extract that device’s secret key. Owing to remarkable advances in large-...

Eyelid myoclonia with absences (EMA), also known as Jeavons syndrome (JS) is a childhood onset epileptic manifestations involving clinical triad of absence seizures eyelid (EM), photosensitivity (PS), and or electroencephalogram (EEG) paroxysms induced by eye closure. Although genetic contribution to this likely some alterations have been defined in several cases, the genes responsible for not ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to retrospectively examine how positive IgA-endomysial antibody (EMA) test results for celiac disease were being interpreted and acted on by physicians in the Calgary Health Region. METHODS We reviewed consecutive EMA test results, with or without a serum IgA, obtained during a 17-month period. Seropositive tests were cross-referenced to the surgical datab...

Autophagy is a cellular homeostatic response that involves degradation of self-components by the double-membraned autophagosome. The biogenesis of autophagosomes has been well described, but the ensuing processes after autophagosome formation are not clear. In our recent study, we proposed a model in which the Golgi complex contributes to the growth of autophagic structures, and that the Drosop...

In this paper, we propose EMA, a novel scheme that guarantees the authenticity of a mobile node (MN) and a relay node (RN) in a multi-hop-enabled Proxy Mobile IP (PMIP) network. EMA works in conjunction with a proposed scheme for key establishment, based on symmetric polynomials, to generate a shared secret key between MN and RN. This scheme achieves lower revocation overhead than that achieved...

The main objective of emergency medical assistance (EMA) services is to attend patients with sudden diseases at any possible location within an area of influence. This usually consists in providing “in situ” assistance and, if necessary, the transport of the patient to a medical centre. The potential of such systems to reduce mortality is directly related to the travel times of ambulances to em...
