Research studies refers to a relationship between exacerbation of atopic dermatitis and exposure to house dust mite (HDM), but the role of HDM in the pathogenesis of AD is controversial. The objecitve of this study was to assess the correlation of density...

The most popular animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are transgenic mice expressing human genes with known mutations which do not represent the most abundant sporadic form of the disease. An increasing number of genetic, vascular and psychosocial data strongly support that the Octodon degus, a moderate-sized and diurnal precocial rodent, provides a naturalistic model for the study of the ...

We provide a simple analysis of the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm in the context of ` minimization with linear constraints, and quantify the asymptotic linear convergence rate in terms of principal angles between relevant vector spaces. In the compressed sensing setting, we show how to bound this rate in terms of the restricted isometry constant. More general iterative schemes obtained b...

One of the most serious neurodegenerative disorders is Alzheimer disease (AD). As the population is aging and due to the fact that AD is more common in aged people, more attention must be paid to this disease. One of the main characteristics of AD is dementia which starts with loss of short term memory, then progresses and causes various brain dysfunctions such as loss of long term memory. Inte...

Background and Objective: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder specified by deposition of b-amyloid (Ab) and neuronal loss that leads to learning and memory disturbances. One of the most important causes of AD is glutamate-dependent excitotoxicity in brain regions that is vulnerable to AD. According to previous reported results, it was revealed that riluzole, as a glutamate ...

people with alzheimer disease (ad) have decreases in brain cell function that may increase their risks as drivers. the changes in brain cells affect memory (at first, short-term memory and then much later, long-term memory) and other thinking functions. in addition, people with early ad, though often very functional in many areas of life, may not be as competent behind the wheel of a car as tho...
