The research was to explore whether co-administration of garlic has negative influence on Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Scutellaria baicalensis) in treating models rats with pelvic inflammation. Twelve model rats were randomized into a Scutellaria baicalensis group and a Scutellaria baicalensis+garlic group with six in each group for pharmacokinetic analysis. Twenty-four rats were randomized ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have an onset at older age. The onset of the disease at the age of 60 and over is called late-onset rheumatoid arthritis (LORA). The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical, laboratory, radiological, and treatment characteristics of patients with LORA compared to those with early-onset RA (EaORA), provided that all the patients had an approximately equal dura...

The article provides an analysis and reports experimental validation of the various performance metrics of the LoRa low-power wide-area network technology. The LoRa modulation is based on chirp spread spectrum, which enables use of low-quality oscillators in the end device, and to make the synchronization faster and more reliable. Moreover, LoRa technology provides over 150 dB link budget, prov...

Communication protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) follow either an Optimum Routing Approach (ORA) or the Least Overhead Routing Approach (LORA): With ORA, protocols tend to determine and use the optimal communication structure at every time instant; whereas with LORA, a protocol tends to use a chosen communication structure as long as it exists. In this paper, we study the impact of t...

Recently, the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications has become more active with the emergence of low-power wide-area network (LPWAN), which has the advantages of low-power and long communication distance. Among the various LPWAN technologies, long-range wide-area network (LoRaWAN, or LoRa) is considered as the most mature technology. However, since LoRa performs uplink-orient...

The concepts of smart cities and smart communities have started to become a reality in this age of the Internet of Things (IoT). In the midst of this IoT revolution, recently, low power wide area networking (LPWAN) technologies[1, 2, 3, 4] have become very popular, as they are an excellent fit to the IoT data traffic that are generated and consumed by many smart cities applications. For instanc...

In recent years, rheumatologists have focused on the diagnosis and treatment of early-onset RA (EORA) in order to prevent joint erosion. Diagnosing LORA has also proven to be somewhat difficult because of the overlapping clinical features of these two types of RA. However, LORA differs clinically from EORA in some important ways. In addition, LORA also has similar presentations to other disease...

The study aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H. Chen et C. Ling (Curcuma wenyujin) and Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Scutellaria baicalensis). This study used three parts to compare the two herbs. Firstly, animals were randomly divided into a Scutellaria baicalensis group, a Curcuma wenyujin group, an indomethacin group, and a model-co...
