Purpose: Tumour cells produce energy through glycolysis and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a key part of glycolysis. Elevation of serum LDH may indicate poor prognosis in primary duodenum adenocarcinoma. We aim to explore the prognostic significance of LDH in this disease. Methods and materials: Two hundred forty-four patients diagnosed with primary duodenum adenocarcinoma who were treated at t...

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) X has been isolated in crystalline form from mouse testes. Homogeneity of the protein preparation was established by disc gel electrophoresis, analytical ultracentrifugation, and immunochemical analyses. LDH-X is clearly distinct in amino acid composition from LDH-1 and LDH-5 with respect to numbers of residues of leucine, glycine, threonine, and methionine. When 6 t...

Serum and tumor tissue of a patient with neuroblastoma contained an abnormal isoenzyme of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; EC 1.1.1.27), which, on agarose gel electrophoresis, migrated between LDH-2 and LDH-3 with a mobility the same as that of the extra LDH isoenzyme found in normal human erythrocytes. On surgical removal of the tumor, the high total LDH activity (775 U/L) in the serum of the patie...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in skeletal muscles are normal or tend to be elevated; on exercise, these levels increase more rapidly than in individuals without COPD. As it is likely that concentrations of LDH isozymes LDH(4) and LDH(5) are elevated in such patients, we measured those isozymes in per...

Recently, two approaches, fine-tuning large pre-trained language models and variational training, have attracted significant interests, separately, for semi-supervised end-to-end task-oriented dialog (TOD) systems. In this paper, we propose Variational Latent-State GPT model (VLS-GPT), which is the first to combine strengths of approaches. Among many options models, generative inference learnin...

Artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, is the subject of intense debate regarding its possible applications, including in health care context. This study evaluates Correctness, Clarity, and Exhaustiveness answers provided by ChatGPT on topic vaccination. The World Health Organization’s 11 “myths misconceptions” about vaccinations were administered to both free (GPT-3.5) paid version (GP...
