Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, with germanium sulfide (GeS) as a sensitive medium and Al/Ag/Au the metal layers, are reported we aim to improve sensitivities of biosensors. The in conventional SPR consisting only Al, Ag, Au 111°/RIU, 117°/RIU, 139°/RIU, respectively. Additionally, these biosensors based on GeS-Al, GeS-Ag, GeS-Au layers have an obvious improvement, resultant 320°/RI...

The majority of first-time angiography patients are without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). A blood gene expression score (GES) for obstructive CAD likelihood was validated in the PREDICT study, but its relation to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and revascularization was not assessed. Patients (N = 1,160) were followed up for MACE and revascularization 1 year post-index a...

We discuss recurrently connected neural networks, investigating their global exponential stability (GES). Some sufficient conditions for a class of recurrent neural networks belonging to GES are given. Sharp convergence rate is given too.

Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) is one of the most important virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori, and serves a role in H. pylori‑mediated tumorigenesis in gastric cancer. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of CagA on the proliferation and apoptosis of GES‑1 cells, and the underlying mechanism. A CagA e...

BACKGROUND Gastric electric stimulation (GES) at a high-frequency, low-energy setting is an option for treating refractory gastroparesis. The currently available commercial stimulator, the Enterra neurostimulator (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, MN), however, requires surgical implantation and is powered by a nonrechargeable battery. OBJECTIVE To develop and test a miniature wireless GES device f...

BACKGROUND/AIM Sustained attention is a vital function mediated by the right frontoparietal cortex. The Six Letter Cancellation Task (SLCT) measures sustained attention. Development of sustained attention in a yoga-based education system compared to a modern one is the theme of the present study. AIM To compare the effectiveness of the Modern Education System (MES) and the Gurukula Education ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastroparesis is characterized by delayed gastric emptying without obstruction. Diabetes is frequently associated with poor glycemic control and delayed gastric emptying. Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) is the standard for measuring gastric emptying. Serum hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) measures prolonged glycemic control with normal as < 7% glycated. To date, no correlation of seru...
