Research organizations' persistent identifiers allow for reducing affiliation ambiguities, enable accurate institutional analyses and favor the design of modern online scholarly databases suited research discovery evaluation. However, few studies have attempted to quantify their degree use. Precisely, purpose this work is determine use Organizations Registry (ROR) IDs in author academic profile...

This paper introduces Ordinary Kriging as a method for the creation of maps of scintillation indices S4 and σφ which could be used to provide the user information on the accuracy of specific receiver-satellite links. Sufficiently accurate scintillation maps, also providing an er‐ ror estimate of the map values, could ultimately lead to their direct implementation in the positioning’s stochastic...

OBJECTIVE We studied the role of type 17 Th cells (TH17) in the pathogenesis of SLE. METHODS We quantified the mRNA expression of IL-17, -23, -27 and retinoic-acid-related orphan receptor (ROR)-gamma, the regulator for the development and function of TH17, in the urinary sediment of 23 subjects with active lupus nephritis, 25 subjects with a history of lupus nephritis in remission, 30 SLE pat...

BACKGROUND Antipsychotics (APs) have been associated with risk of torsade de Pointes (TdP). This has important public health implications. Therefore, (a) we exploited the public FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to characterize their torsadogenic profile; (b) we collected drug utilization data from 12 European Countries to assess the population exposure over the 2005-2010 period. MET...

OBJECTIVE Medication  safety requires that each drug be monitored throughout its market life as early detection of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can lead to alerts that prevent patient harm. Recently, electronic medical records (EMRs) have emerged as a valuable resource for pharmacovigilance. This study examines the use of retrospective medication orders and inpatient laboratory results documen...

PURPOSE Interleukin (IL)-9 induces allergic responses; however, the roles of anti-IL-9 antibody in the induction of tolerance remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of anti-IL-9 antibody on oral tolerance (OT) in a mouse model of allergic rhinitis (AR). METHODS BALB/c mice were divided into 4 groups: the control, AR, OT, and OT with anti-IL-9 antibody (OT+IL9AB) groups. Ovalbumin...

BACKGROUND Propranolol hydrochloride, one of the most widely used beta-blocker in the treatment of hypertension since 1960s, shows a number of serious and non-serious adverse events. OBJECTIVE Major objectives of this study were to extract the Canadian Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Program (CADRMP) database for possible toxic signal detection (SD) of propranolol hydrochloride, evaluate the...

PURPOSE Almost all antipsychotics have been associated with a risk of epileptic seizure provocation. Among the first-generation antipsychotics (FGA) chlorpromazine appears to be associated with the greatest risk of seizures among the second-generation antipsychotics (SGA) clozapine is thought to be most likely to cause convulsions. This information is largely based on studies that are not suffi...

The aim of the present study was to examine changes of cellular homeostasis in regulatory T (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells by detecting the proportion of Treg and Th17 cells of peripheral blood, as well as the expression of specific transcription factors in these two types of cells, in syphilitic patients with sero-resistance. A total of 49 subjects were enrolled in the study and divided i...
