BACKGROUND Newer 2D strain software has a potential to assess layer-specific strain. However, normal reference values for layer-specific strain have not been established. We aimed to establish the normal ranges of layer-specific longitudinal and circumferential strain (endocardial global longitudinal strain (GLS), transmural GLS, epicardial GLS, endocardial global circumferential strain (GCS), ...

In this paper, an accurate Image Registration method is presented. It combines a feature-based method, which allows to recover large motion magnitudes between images, with a Generalized Least-Squares (GLS) motion estimation technique which is able to estimate motion parameters in an accurate manner. The feature-based method gives an initial estimation of the motion parameters, which will be ref...

Ganoderma lucidum spores (GLS) constitute a healthy food for humans, but the hard spore shells are difficult to digest. In this study, digestive properties of GLS in different forms (sporoderm-unbroken, sporoderm-broken [SB-GLS] and sporoderm-removed [SR-GLS]) were investigated vitro digestion fermentation. After simulated digestion, morphologies all three changed slightly. gastric intestinal a...

The fact that cancer cells rewire their metabolism to meet their extreme energetic and biosynthetic needs has long been known, since the seminal studies by Otto Warburg demonstrated that cancer cells heavily rely on glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen, the so-called Warburg effect. However, efforts to therapeutically target the special requirements of cancer cells have only gained tractio...

Application to GLS, a popular implementation of the implied cost of capital ("ICC"), yields the …rst direct empirical evidence that ICC measurement errors i) are persistent, ii) can be associated with …rms’risk or growth characteristics, and therefo...

Clinical guidelines (GLs) play an important role in medical practice, and computerized support to GLs is now one of the most central areas of research in Artificial Intelligence in medicine. In recent years, many groups have developed different computer-assisted management systems of GL. Each approach has its own peculiarities and thus a comparison is necessary. Many possible aspects can be ana...

Viruses rewire host cell glucose and glutamine metabolism to meet the bioenergetic and biosynthetic demands of viral propagation. However, the mechanism by which viruses reprogram glutamine metabolism and the metabolic fate of glutamine during adenovirus infection have remained elusive. Here, we show MYC activation is necessary for adenovirus-induced upregulation of host cell glutamine utilizat...

BACKGROUND Hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are important causes of non-ischaemic heart failure (HF). Understanding the pathophysiology of early HF may guide screening. We hypothesised that the underlying physiology differed according to aetiology. METHODS In this cross-sectional study of 521 asymptomatic community-based subjects ≥65 years with ≥1 HF risk factors, 187 particip...

Glucosinolates (GLS), antioxidative compounds, total radical scavenging activities (TRSAs) and proteins of white cabbage samples derived from different regions of Europe, collected in the spring and autumn, were studied. Glucobrassicin and sinigrin were the dominating GLS in all analyzed cabbage samples. Depending on origin, these two GLS accounted for 30% to 70% of the total. The total GLS con...
