Background —β 2 -Glycoprotein I (β2GPI) is a major antigenic target of antiphospholipid antibodies, which possesses natural anticoagulant properties. The aim the present study was to determine its presence and localization within human atherosclerotic plaques association with endothelial cells monocyte macrophages in vitro. Methods Results —Human lesions were obtained after carotid endarterectomies studied immunohistochemically anti-β2GPI as well antibodies CD4/CD8, macrophages, adhesion...
The paper motivates a novel research programme in the philosophy of action parallel to 'Knowledge First' epistemology. It is argued that much grounds for abandoning quest reductive analysis knowledge favour Knowledge First alternative mirrored case intentional action, inviting hypothesis also, like knowledge, metaphysically basic. goes on demonstrate sort explanatory contribution can make once it no longer taken be target analysis, explaining other, non-intentional kinds and voluntariness.
Abstract Philosophers and cognitive scientists increasingly recognize the need to appeal motor representations over above intentions in attempting understand how action is planned executed. But doing so gives rise a puzzle, which has come be known as “the Interface Problem”: How it that manage interface producing action? The question semed puzzling, because each state thought formatted differently: Intention propositional format, whereas format of representation motoric. My primary goal here...
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients experience premature atherosclerosis. A deranged lipid metabolism and use of immunosuppressive medications accounts partially for the accelerated process. The role autoimmunity in atherosclerosis has recently been highlighted. Autoantigenic determinants thought to play a development include: modified lipoproteins, heat shock proteins beta2-glycoprotein I (a target 'autoimmune' anticardiolipin antibodies). In this present work we determined...
To examine the independent effect of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment on cardiovascular morbidity among RA patients.A retrospective cohort study patients treated at Meir medical center between 2003-2013 was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups, those who had been with HCQ during course their disease and never received it. The groups compared for possible confounding factors. Study endpoints included arterial venous thrombotic events.A total 514 suitable identified, 241...
Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by the Tono-Pen 2tonometer and Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) in post-photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) patients. Setting: Refractive Surgery Center, Assaf Harofeh Medical Zerifin, Israel. Methods: In 18 patients, IOP was measured GAT then 2 to months following PRK (mean 6.6 ± 5.1 [SD]). Photorefractive had been performed 1 eye of each patient; fellow eyes served as controls. Corneal curvature thickness were evaluated. Ten...
Evolutionary debunking arguments appeal to selective etiologies of human morality in an attempt undermine moral realism. But is actually the product evolution by natural selection? Although have attracted considerable attention recent years, little it has been devoted whether underlying evolutionary assumptions are credible. In this paper, we take a closer look at hypotheses put forward two leading debunkers, namely Sharon Street and Richard Joyce. We raise battery considerations, both...
Abstract Philosophical orthodoxy has it that intentional action consists in one's intention appropriately causing a motion of body, placing the latter (conceptually and/or metaphysically) prior to former. Here, I argue this standard schema should be reversed: acting intentionally is at least conceptually intending. The argument modelled on Williamsonian for priority knowledge developed by Jenifer Nagel. She argues children acquire concept KNOWS before they BELIEVES, building alleged...
Purpose The increased use of Information Systems (IS) as a working tool for employees increases the number accounts and passwords required. Despite being more aware password entropy, users still often participate in deviant behaviors, known “password workarounds” or “shadow security.” These behaviors can put individuals organizations at risk, resulting data breach. This paper aims to engage IS Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), focused on designing, developing empirically validating Password...
Abstract Background: Atherosclerosis is a complex histopathologic process that analogous to chronic inflammatory conditions. Several factors have been shown correlate with the extent of atherosclerosis. Whereas hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and family history are all well documented, recent literature points additional associated factors. Thus, antibodies oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (oxLDL), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Chlamydia pneumonia, Helicobacter pylori , as...
Mutations of several genes have been implicated in autosomal recessive osteopetrosis ( OP ), a disease caused by impaired function and differentiation osteoclasts. Severe combined immune deficiencies SCID ) can likewise result from different genetic mutations. We report two siblings with an atypical phenotype . A biallelic microdeletion encompassing the 5′ region TRAF6 , RAG1 RAG2 was identified. tumor necrosis factor receptor‐associated family member, plays important role T cell signaling...
we aimed to estimate the prevalence of Amino acyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase antibodies (Anti-ARS); myositis specific antibodies, among patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), evaluate clinical associations anti-ARS in SSc and identify risk factors for development interstitial lung disease (ILD) SSc.A prospective study 71 our rheumatology clinic Israel. Sera were tested antibodies. Data on serological manifestations treatment collected compared according ILD.Prevalence was 6%...
There has been a resurgence of interest lately within the philosophy mind and action in category mental action. Against this background, present paper aims to question very possibility, or at least theoretical significance, teasing apart bodily acts. After raising some doubts over viability various possible ways drawing mental-act–bodily-act distinction, draws lessons from debates embodied cognition which, arguably, further undermine credibility distinction. The insignificance distinction is...
