Fabry disease (FD) is a multisystem, X-linked disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by enzyme deficiency of α-galactosidase A. Affected patients have symptoms including acroparesthesias, angiokeratomas, and hypohidrosis. More serious manifestations include debilitating pain and gastrointestinal symptoms, proteinuria and gradual deterioration of renal function leading to end-stage rena...

Full duplex (FD) wireless communication has an enormous prospect in near future. To leverage the FD benefit successfully, efficient medium access control (MAC) protocols are very crucial along with physical layer performance. Although a number of FD-MAC protocols were proposed earlier, most of them are not for wireless local area networks (WLANs). On the other hand, as still there are a lot of ...

INTRODUCTION Whether patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) should receive Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy remains controversial. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of H. pylori eradication therapy on dyspeptic symptoms of patients with FD. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of H. pylori eradication for FD was cond...

The study investigated the effects of two stabilization exercise positions (prone and supine) on pain intensity (PI) and functional disability (FD) of patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). The 56 subjects that completed the study were randomly assigned into stabilization in prone (SIP) (n=19), stabilization in supine (SIS) (n=20), and prone and supine (SIPS) position (n=17) ...

This paper presents the next evolution of FD-MIMO technology for beyond 5G, where antennas of the FD-MIMO system are placed in a distributed manner throughout the cell in a multi-cell deployment scenario. This system, referred to as Distributed FD-MIMO (D-FD-MIMO) system, is capable of providing higher cell average throughput as well as more uniform user experience compared to the conventional ...

Purpose To confirm its dose-dependent effect on form deprivation myopia and evaluate the effect of MT3 at different tissue concentrations on changes in mRNA and protein expression for TGF-β2 and HAS2. Methods MT3 was intravitreally injected into deprived eyes at two-day intervals. Refraction was measured by streak retinoscopy after cycloplegia. The axial dimensions were measured by A-scan ult...

Full-duplex (FD) wireless communication is evolving into a practical technique, and many studies are being conducting in this area, especially regarding the physical layer. However, to exploit FD benefit successfully, efficient medium access control (MAC) protocols are crucial as well as physical layer advances. Numerous FD-MAC protocols have been proposed, but these MAC protocols cannot addres...
