Epidemiology of acne vulgaris

Despite acne being an almost universal condition in younger people, relatively little is known about its epidemiology. We sought to review what is known about the distribution and causes of acne by conducting a systematic review of relevant...

Osteoarthritis: Epidemiology

High sensitivity C-reactive protein distribution in the elderly: the Bambuí Cohort Study, Brazil

The measurement of the serum concentration of the acute-phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP) provides a useful marker in clinical practice. However, the distribution of CRP is not available for all age and population groups. This study a...

Life Stage-Specific Burdens and Impacts of Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Beef Cattle in the United States: A Review of Diagnostics, Impacts on Productivity, and Immune Response

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) remain a significant challenge to productivity and sustainability in beef cattle systems in the United States, contributing to subclinical reductions in growth, reproductive performance, and overall herd he...

The niche-derived glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) induces migration of mouse spermatogonial stem/progenitor cells.

In mammals, the biological activity of the stem/progenitor compartment sustains production of mature gametes through spermatogenesis. Spermatogonial stem cells and their progeny belong to the class of undifferentiated spermatogonia, a germ ...

The Utilization of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for the Confirmation of Gastric and Post-Pyloric Feeding Tube Placement in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) as an alternative imaging modality to confirm the location of gastric and post-pyloric feeding tubes in patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care ...

Estimates for Lyme borreliosis infections based on models using sentinel canine and human seroprevalence data

Two models were developed to estimate Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases. One was based on the seroprevalence of Borrelia infections in human samples. This model used corrections for false negative and false positive results from published test se...

Herbal Medicines in African Traditional Medicine

African traditional medicine is a form of holistic health care system organized into three levels of specialty, namely divination, spiritualism, and herbalism. The traditional healer provides health care services based on culture, religious...

The Traditional Medicine and Modern Medicine from Natural Products

Natural products and traditional medicines are of great importance. Such forms of medicine as traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Kampo, traditional Korean medicine, and Unani have been practiced in some areas of the world and have blos...

Soft Robotic Grippers

Advances in soft robotics, materials science, and stretchable electronics have enabled rapid progress in soft grippers. Here, a critical overview of soft robotic grippers is presented, covering different material sets, physical principles, ...

Mind Children: The Future of Robot and Human Intelligence

Imagine attending a lecture at the turn of the twentieth century in which Orville Wright speculates about the future of transportation, or one in which Alexander Graham Bell envisages satellite communications and global data banks. Mind Chi...

Robotics and Control

As equipment and systems become more complex and sophisticated, the problems of operation and control by humans have become more difficult. Modern industrial processes and production techniques often require continuous vigilance of machine ...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...

Multisensor Fire Detection System Mobile Robot as a Learning Media in Firefighting Robotic Course

Firefighting Robotic technology has been used for a long time to achieve aviation safety and security goals. The research is deemed necessary because of some related issues: 1) A pressing need for lecturers and students to have access to le...

In the Ensemble with Technical Subjects

Introduction. The purpose of the paper is to test the hypothesis about the entry into the social interactions of actors of a special kind - devices with artificial intelligence. The author proposes to discuss a hypothesis about the emergenc...

Comparative Analysis of Deep Natural Networks and Large Language Models for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is essential for comprehending public opinion, particularly when considering e-commerce and the expansion of online businesses. Early approaches treated sentiment analysis as a document or sentence-level classification pr...

Real-time obstacle avoidance of mobile robots using state-dependent Riccati equation approach

Abstract In this paper, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) method-based optimal control technique is applied to a robot. In recent years, issues associated with the robotics have become one of the developing fields of research. Accordi...

The Effect of Dry Friction upon the Dynamics of a Short Eccentric Rotor: An Analytical and Experimental Study

The paper proposes the study of dry friction by means of a short eccentric rotor. The rotor was designed and realised in the laboratory. In an ideal frictionless situation, a rotor actuated by gravity will have an angular velocity which inc...

Boosting precision crop protection towards agriculture 5.0 via machine learning and emerging technologies: A contextual review

Crop protection is a key activity for the sustainability and feasibility of agriculture in a current context of climate change, which is causing the destabilization of agricultural practices and an increase in the incidence of current or in...
