introduction: a fixed hemodynamic response function (hrf) is commonly used for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) analysis. however, hrf may vary from region to region and subject to subject. we investigated the effect of locally estimated hrf (in functionally homogenous parcels) on activation detection sensitivity in a heroin cue reactivity study. methods: we proposed a novel explora...

two igm monoclonal antibodies (mab) with strong reactivity for granulocytes and to a lesser extent for lurkat cell lines were established by immunizing balbi c mice with a histiocytic cell line (uy37). these two mabs (designated as 6c9 and 4c4) reacted with blast cells of t-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (t-all) and acute myelogenous leukemia (aml) patients as well as leukemic cells from patients...

Incremental reactivities for ground-level ozone formation were assigned for all volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions profiles in the Speciate 4.3 database. Best estimate and upper and lower limit reactivity values are given for the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR), maximum ozone incremental reactivity (MOIR) and equal benefit incremental reactivity (EBIR) calculated using the latest ve...

Current methods of assessing children's physiological "stress reactivity" may be confounded by psychomotor activity, biasing estimates of the relation between reactivity and health. We examined the joint and independent contributions of psychomotor activity and challenge reactivity during a protocol for 5- and 6-year-old children (N = 338). Measures of parasympathetic reactivity (respiratory si...

The reactivity of iron(II/III) oxide surfaces may be influenced by their interaction with silica, which is ubiquitous in aquatic systems. Understanding the structure–reactivity relationships Si-...

BACKGROUND Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) can significantly improve symptoms and reduce the need for symptomatic medication. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate changes in skin reactivity to house dust mites (HDMs) as an immunologic response and associated factors after 1 year of immunotherapy. METHODS A total of 80 patients with allergic airway diseases who received s...
