B cells are increasingly recognized as major players in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis. The BAFF/APRIL system is crucial for cell homoeostasis and may drive cell-dependent autoimmunity. We asked whether this affected by Interferon (IFN)-β therapy. analysed transcription of the ligands (BAFF, APRIL, TWE-PRIL) corresponding receptors (BAFF-R, TACI BCMA) TaqMan-PCR ex vivo whole blood immune subsets purified from IFN-β-treated patients. Serum BAFF concentrations were determined ELISA. This...
While the study of interreligious conflict is a growing field research, peace lacks conceptualisation and empirical investigation. We propose concept that distinguishes between positive negative elements as well attitudinal behavioural aspects. The resulting four-dimensional operationalised with dataset covering 170 countries 1990 2014, showing considerable global variation. then apply our by testing how religious ideas norms, demography state-religion institutions determine peace. Our...
<h3>Background</h3> Natalizumab is a new therapeutic option for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. As with other antibody therapies, hypersensitivity reactions have been observed. In the Safety and Efficacy in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (AFFIRM) trial, infusion-related developed 4% of patients, usually within 2 hours after starting infusion. <h3>Objective</h3> To report significant, delayed, serum sickness–like, type III systemic allergic reaction to natalizumab....
Puumala virus (PUUV) is the most common species of hantavirus in Central Europe. Nephropathia epidemica (NE), caused by PUUV, characterized acute kidney injury (AKI) and thrombocytopenia. The major goals this study were to provide a clear clinical phenotyping AKI patients with NE develop an easy prediction rule identify patients, who are at lower risk severe AKI. A cross-sectional prospective survey 456 adult serologically confirmed was performed. Data collected from medical records...
Abstract Contrary to the expectations of secularization theory, religion remains socially important and affects politics in multiple ways—especially regarding conflict between religious communities. Theoretically, can increase altruism, but belief superiority one's faith may facilitate intergroup discrimination related conflict. Previous findings remain inconclusive, however, as specific ideas have hardly been tested. In this article, we argue that content has causal effects on...
With the transition to bio-based economy, it is becoming increasingly important for chemical industry obtain basic chemicals from renewable raw materials. Succinic acid, one of most building block chemicals, used in food and pharmaceutical industries, as well field plastics. An alternative process production succinic acid was main objective this study, focusing on biotechnological using a newly isolated organism. Pure glycerol compared crude glycerol, at lowest purity, directly biodiesel...
Religion has become increasingly contentious in recent years. Faith-based discrimination, hostility and violence seem to have increased worldwide. But how can faith lead conflict? In this article, we test the impact of two important dimensions religion that been neglected previous research: belief ‘one true religion’ perceptions threats by other religious groups. Putting these potential drivers test, conducted a representative survey experiment with 972 respondents Dar es Salaam, Tanzania....
Due to its chronic and fluctuating time course, multiple sclerosis (MS), thus far, has not been regarded as a focus of palliative care. However, sometimes we are confronted with severely affected MS patients, who suffer from complex medical, physical psychosocial problems, which fully covered by the current health care services. We present two cases patients saw in our outpatient clinic, who, believe, candidates for The first patient, primary progressive (pcP) many years (Expanded Disability...
Background The global burden of hypertension, currently estimated at 1 billion, is a leading Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) in Sub Saharan Africa. In Tanzania, the reported prevalence hypertension 25%. Inherent limitations healthcare system to control include inadequate provider knowledge, capacity, medication access, and patient awareness, all which hinder effective screening disease management. To assess quality counseling, we conducted study an ambulatory setting Tanzania. Methods...
Abstract Wood modification by impregnation and curing inside of the cell wall using phenol–formaldehyde resins (PF resins) is a well-known commercialized method to improve, amongst others, dimensional stability durability wood. However, phenol mainly obtained from non-renewable resources, substitution renewable resources has been topic research interest for years. Due high availability technical lignins, lignin-derived cleavage products are promising candidates. In this study, organic vacuum...
A multitude of different diseases can result in bilateral thalamic lesions. These include vascular pathologies requiring prompt therapeutic intervention, such as basilar thrombosis or the internal cerebral veins, well tumors, infectious demyelinating diseases, and toxic-metabolic Therefore, detailed knowledge typical radiological findings for various is essential determining correct diagnosis. This review provides a synopsis most important bithalamic lesions an overview literature.
Non-invasive cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) monitoring is an established tool in the intraoperative phase of pediatric congenital cardiac surgery (CCS). This study investigated association between ScO2 and postoperative outcome by investigating both baseline values desaturations from baseline. All CCS procedures performed period 2010-2017 our institution which was monitored were included this historical cohort study. Baseline determined after tracheal intubation, before surgical incision....
The diagnosis of leptomeningeal B-cell lymphoma is based on the identification malignant B cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Frequently, cytology does not allow clear distinction between neoplastic lymphoid and reactively transformed mononuclear cells. Individual clones can be identified basis DNA sequences that encode highly diverse complementarity-determining region (CDR3) immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IgH). We studied CSF samples from 5 patients with malignancies cytological...
What are the motivations for internal migration, and how do social relations influence migration process? In answering these questions, this paper focuses on to Accra, capital of Ghana. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 migrants in different areas city analysed using narrative analysis. We found that livelihood lifestyle dimensions work tandem as migration. While main reasons moving according interviewees, related livelihood, they reflected performed culturally bound lifestyles....
Interferon-β (IFNβ) treatment in multiple sclerosis (MS) induces neutralizing antibodies (NAB) 10 to 30% of patients.1,2 NAB are associated with a reduction bioactivity IFNβ, and have negative impact on therapeutic response.3 Analysis IFNβ-inducible genes is direct practical approach monitor therapy.4,5 The expression three IFNβ-induced antibody-positive patients MS was recently analyzed.6 We performed similar study evaluate the relationship between myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA)...
