AIMS Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is a major autoantigen recognised by IgA anti-endomysial antibodies (IgA EMA). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (IgA tTG) have therefore been developed as an alternative serological screening test to IgA EMA for coeliac disease (CD). The use of human tTG (h-tTG), as opposed to guinea pig liver tTG (gpl-...

Celiac disease-a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine-is triggered by gluten or associated protein consumption.The aim of our study was to assess the sensitivity, specificity of the combined anti-transglutaminase 2 (TG2)/deamidated gliadin peptide antibodies (DGP), and antiendomisium antibodies (EMA), to determine the distribution of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 for the 140 tested patients, and also to...

Introduction Cognitive models of depression highlight the role inhibitory control - cognitive ability which supports our goal directed behavior – as key and even causal feature disorder. According to these models, deficits in prevent exclusion irrelevant negative information, leading rumination sustained mood result depressive episodes. However, scientific evidence linking is thus far mixed. Mo...

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 ...

We have found that EMA-1, a monoclonal antibody originally raised against mouse embryonal carcinoma (Nulli SCC1) cells (Hahnel & Eddy, 1982), also labels chick primordial germ cells (PGCs). We have used this antibody in immunohistological studies to follow the development of PGCs in the chick embryo from the time of their initial appearance beneath the epiblast, through their migratory phase an...

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...
