OBJECTIVE Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is widely expressed in the rat brain, especially in the hypothalamic nuclei and in the anterior pituitary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of CART on pituitary hormone release in pituitary cell culture. MATERIAL AND METHODS The pituitary hormone release from pituitary cell culture after CART administration was in...

Twenty one males 17-22 months old took part in an experiment of the effects of shopping cart design on standing in the seat section of the cart and speed of standing. Two different cart designs were examined. It was predicted that standing would be more likely in the over-the-counter vs deep basket type of cart since the former is less confining because of a larger seating area and larger leg h...

Kastin, Abba J., and Victoria Akerstrom. Entry of CART into brain is rapid but not inhibited by excess CART or leptin. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Endocrinol. Metab. 40): E901– E904, 1999.—Cocaineand amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is a new anorectic peptide found in the brain and periphery. It is closely associated with leptin, an anorectic agent saturably transported across the blood-brain b...

Background: This paper focuses on the creation of a predictive computer-assisted decision making system for traumatic injury using machine learning algorithms. Trauma experts must make several difficult decisions based on a large number of patient attributes, usually in a short period of time. The aim is to compare the existing machine learning methods available for medical informatics, and dev...

This paper extends a previous study that examined the role of enjoyment on the development of e-Loyalty by considering the role of race, income, and education on the enjoyment and development of e-Loyalty in women online shoppers. The goal of this research was to develop a better understanding of the online consumer by investigating women in relation to their e-commerce behaviors and perception...

An estimated 24,200 children younger than 15 years, 20,700 (85%) of whom were younger than 5 years, were treated in US hospital emergency departments in 2005 for shopping cart-related injuries. Approximately 4% of shopping cart-related injuries to children younger than 15 years require admission to the hospital. Injuries to the head and neck represent three fourths of all injuries. Fractures ac...

OBJECTIVE Determine whether HIV and combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) affect resting-state functional connectivity (rs-fc) between the striatum and the cortical regions. METHODS Forty-nine HIV-uninfected (HIV-) and 132 HIV-infected (HIV+) (65% receiving cART) patients underwent laboratory studies (current and nadir CD4 T-cell counts, and plasma HIV viral load), neuropsychological perf...

BACKGROUND  Kaposi sarcoma (KS) remains a frequent cancer in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients starting combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). We examined incidence rates and risk factors for developing KS in different periods after starting cART in patients from European observational HIV cohorts. METHODS  We included HIV-positive adults starting cART after 1 January 1...

The fast growth of IoT in wearable devices, smart sensors, and home appliances will affect every aspect our lives. With the rapid development economic globalization, how to integrate science technology into decision-making is focus current research field, this paper precisely solve problem. This proposes a global market forecasting system based on Internet Things machine learning. Using wireles...
