CONTEXT Kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is more heterogeneous than in type 1 DM. Reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) among individuals with type 2 DM may not always be due to classic diabetic glomerulosclerosis, which is associated with albuminuria and retinopathy. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of chronic renal insufficiency (CRI), defined as a GFR less than 60 mL...

as a generalization of the triple i method, the universal triple imethod is investigated from the viewpoints of both fuzzy reasoningand fuzzy controller. the universal triple i principle is putforward, which improves the previous triple i principle. then,unified form of universal triple i method is established based onthe (0,1)-implication or r-implication. moreover, the reversibilityproperty o...

The current CIE colour rendering index (CRI) has been widely used to test the quality of light sources over 30 years. However, this method is outdated and problematic, especially for evaluating white light emitting diode (LED) sources. A psychophysical experiment was conducted to evaluate the quality of three D65 simulators. The results were also compared with the CRI and the other method, know...

Phosphor‐converted white light emitting diodes (pc‐LEDs) are being used as a source of artificial lighting. One the main goals lighting is to make objects/images look natural — they under sunlight. The ability accurately render color an object gauged by rendering index (CRI) and conventional pc‐LED has average CRI—CRI R ~ 80 which not suitable for In order fabricate pc‐LEDs applications, all CR...

Combination of real and imaginary parts (CRI) works well for solving complex symmetric linear systems. This paper develops a generalization CRI method to determine the solution Sylvester matrix equation. We show that this, regardless condition, converges At end we test new scheme by numerical example.

BACKGROUND Hemorrhage is a leading cause of traumatic death. We hypothesized that state-of-the-art feature extraction and machine learning techniques could be used to discover, detect, and continuously trend beat-to-beat changes in arterial pulse waveforms associated with the progression to hemodynamic decompensation. METHODS We exposed 184 healthy humans to progressive central hypovolemia us...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to explore the effects of viral co-detection in individuals recently vaccinated with the live-attenuated intranasal influenza virus vaccine (LAIV) on the detection of influenza RNA. METHODS Before the 2013-2014 influenza season, nasal swabs were obtained from 59 pediatric participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) and 17 of their healthy siblings immedia...

Background Highly effective hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapies have spurred a scale-up of treatment to populations at greater risk of reinfection after sustained virologic response (SVR). Reinfection may be higher in HIV-HCV coinfection, but prior studies have considered small selected populations. We assessed risk factors for reinfection after SVR in a representative cohort of Canadian coinfect...

PURPOSE To evaluate glaucoma prevalence and disease burden across Asian subregions from 2013 to 2040. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 23 population-based studies of 1318 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) cases in 66,800 individuals and 691 primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) cases in 72,767 individuals in Asia. Regions in Asia were defined based on United Nati...

Le syndrome du Cri du Chat (Cri du Chat syndrome, CdCS) est une anomalie chromosomique résultant d'une délétion de taille variable de l'extrémité du bras court du chromosome 5 (5p), incluant une région critique située en p15.2. Il représente une des délétions chromosomiques les plus fréquentes, son incidence dans la population générale est de 1/20 000 à 1/50 000. Les caractéristiques cliniques ...
