Abstract We previously reported that some human antiphospholipid Abs (aPL) in patients with the syndrome (APS) bind to homologous enzymatic domains of thrombin and activated coagulation factor X (FXa). Moreover, reactive are prothrombotic interfere inactivation FXa by antithrombin (AT). Considering domain IX (FIXa) is those FXa, we hypothesized aPLs APS FIXa hinder AT FIXa. To test this hypothesis, searched for IgG anti-FIXa patients. Once concerned were found, studied effects Ab on AT....
With the advent of sperm sex sorting methods and computer-aided analysis platforms, comparative 2D motility studies showed that there is no significant difference in swimming speeds X-sorted Y-sorted cells, clarifying earlier misconceptions. However, other differences their dynamics might have been undetectable as conventional optical microscopes are limited revealing complete 3D motion free-swimming due to poor depth resolution trade-off between field-of-view spatial resolution. Using a...
Amblyopia is the most common neurological eye disorder worldwide, decreasing vision in approximately 1–5% of global population. To reduce this loss visual acuity, occlusion therapy often beneficial for people with Amblyopia, yet conventional rehabilitation method suffers from low compliance and adherence rates due to its repetitive nature. Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) applied games has a unique potential engage players stimulate their acuity. Advances modern untethered Head-Mounted...
Abstract Objective To test the hypothesis, utilizing 2 experimental mouse models, that plasmin is an important autoantigen drives production of certain IgG anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome. Methods BALB/cJ and MRL/MpJ mice were immunized Freund's complete adjuvant presence or absence human plasmin. The sera analyzed for antiplasmin, aCL, anti–β ‐glycoprotein I (anti‐β GPI) antibodies. monoclonal (mAb) generated from plasmin‐immunized high titers...
We have designed and developed a novel, noninvasive modular headmount to be used for awake animal scalp electroencephalography (EEG). The design is based on developing rat that will accommodate rapid head growth. Desired characteristics include non-invasiveness, adjustable quantity positioning, light weight, tolerability by the animal. Axial Dependent Modular Electrode Mount (ADMEM), as here, addresses aforementioned constraints using light-weight materials. initial prototype of ADMEM has...
Abstract Background: Diabetes affects 34 million in the US and an additional 88 are prediabetic. 1 According to CDC, Hispanic Americans (22%) Asian (19%) more than Caucasian (12%) population. 2 Many of these patients do not speak English. In addition, 55% adults did graduate from high school. 3 Health literacy is a barrier health care. There 4.2 billion Virtual Assistant AI devices, e. g. Amazon Echo Dot Google Home Mini, which used worldwide. assistant devices nursing homes assisted living...
The differences in the swimming behavior of sperm cell populations that carry opposite sex chromosome have been an important topic research, aiming to shed more light on seemingly random process gender determination at conception. Earlier studies human cells resulted a misconception that, Y-chromosome bearing swim faster than X-chromosome as they lighter payload. This has clarified with recent using modern computer-aided semen analysis (CASA) systems and improved sex-sorting techniques,...
Abstract Background 85% of Americans own a smartphone and there were 230 billion downloads in 2021. 1,2 American diabetic patients have been reported to limited health literacy. 3 55% do not graduate from high school. 4 African American, Hispanic Asian comprise 20%, 22% 19% patients, respectively, but greater proportion hospitalization rates. 5 Many these their families use mobile apps for questions. The accessibility eHealth is changing how access information. Purpose To evaluate free...
Abstract Background In 2020, 34.2 million US adults had diabetes and 88 pre-diabetes. 1 The ADCES7 guidelines are aimed at self-care use 7 criteria: Healthy Coping, Eating, Being Active, Taking Medication, Monitoring, Reducing Risk, Problem Solving. 2 Purpose: Do Diabetes Apps Fulfill Guidelines to Meet Patient Needs? Methods: We used the search term "diabetes" in Google Play store (Android/AD) Apple App (iOS) compile a list of most popular, free Android iOS apps. Inclusion Free, English...
