We explored DNA structures of genomes by means a new tool derived from the "chaotic dynamical systems" theory (the so-called chaos game representation [CGR]), which allows depiction frequencies oligonucleotides in form images. Using CGR, we observe that subsequences genome exhibit main characteristics whole genome, attesting to validity genomic signature concept. Base concentrations, stretches (runs complementary bases or purines/pyrimidines), and patches (over- underexpressed words various...

To determine the value of IL-10 measurement in aqueous humor (AH) for screening primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL).One hundred consecutive diagnostic or therapeutic vitrectomies were performed patients with uveitis. During surgery, 100 microL both AH and pure vitreous was taken. levels determined a standard quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Patients distributed two groups: 51 proven PIOL, 108 uveitis divided into 74 etiology 34 idiopathic Groups compared by ANOVA...

Importance of left atrial (LA) phasic function evaluation is increasingly recognized for its incremental value in terms prognosis and risk stratification. LA deformation the pathway normal aging has been characterized using echocardiographic speckle tracking. However, no data are available regarding age-related variations feature-racking (FT) techniques from standard cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We studied 94 healthy adults (41 ± 14 yr, 47 women), who underwent MRI Doppler...

Mapping high-dimensional data in a low-dimensional space, for example, visualization, is problem of increasingly major concern analysis. This paper presents data-driven scaling (DD-HDS), nonlinear mapping method that follows the line multidimensional (MDS) approach, based on preservation distances between pairs data. It improves performance existing competitors with respect to representation data, two ways. introduces (1) specific weighting taking into account concentration measure...

The aim of this study is to quantify aortic backward flow (BF) using phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (PC-CMR) and its associations with age, indexes arterial stiffness, geometry. Although PC-CMR blood studies showed a simultaneous presence BF forward (FF) in the ascending aorta (AA), relationship between flows aging as well stiffness geometry healthy volunteers has never been reported. We studied 96 subjects [47 women, 39 ± 15 yr old (19-79 yr)]. Aortic [arch pulse wave...

—The molecular systematics of vertebrates has been based entirely on alignments primary structures macromolecules; however, higher order features DNA sequences not used in traditional studies also contain valuable phylogenetic information. Recent data sets conflict over the placement flightless birds (ratites - paleognaths), but this clade critically influences interpretation character change birds. To help resolve issue, we applied a new bioinformatics approach to largest set currently...

Brain computation relies on effective interactions between ensembles of neurons. In neuroimaging, measures functional connectivity (FC) aim at statistically quantifying such interactions, often to study normal or pathological cognition. Their capacity reflect a meaningful variety patterns as expected from neural in relation cognitive processes remains debated. The relative weights time-varying local neurophysiological dynamics versus static structural (SC) the generation FC measured...

Arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV) is associated with increased mortality in aging and disease. Several studies have shown the accuracy of applanation tonometry carotid-femoral PWV (Cf-PWV) relevance evaluating central aorta stiffness using 2D cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to estimate PWV, aortic distensibility-derived through theoretical Bramwell-Hill model (BH-PWV). Our aim was compare various methods (aoPWV) estimation from 4D flow CMR, terms associations age, Cf-PWV, BH-PWV...

Abstract Background Molecular phylogenetic methods are based on alignments of nucleic or peptidic sequences. The tremendous increase in molecular data permits analyses very long sequences and many species, but also requires to help manage large datasets. Results Here we explore the signal present by genomic signatures, defined as set frequencies short oligonucleotides DNA Although violating standard assumptions traditional – particular explicit statements homology inherent character matrices...

The "chaos game representation" (CGR) paradigm has been implemented to display the use of short oligonucleotides in genomes form fractal images. These images can be considered as a genomic signature. Using an unsupervised classification approach, it is shown that fragments sequences retain most characteristics species they come from. It thus appears possible perform global comparison by means genome found databases. efficiency this approach evaluated function size and length oligonucleotides.

Background Aging‐related arterial stiffness is associated with substantial changes in global and local pressures. The subsequent early return of reflected pressure waves leads to an elevated left ventricular (LV) afterload ultimately a deleterious concentric LV remodeling. Purpose To compute aortic time‐resolved fields healthy subjects from 4D flow MRI define relevant pressure‐based markers while investigating their relationship age, remodeling, as well tonometric augmentation index (AIx)...
