Thrombotic Antiphospholipid Syndrome Shows Strong Haplotypic Association with SH2B3-ATXN2 Locus
(Public Library of Science, 2013-07-03)
Background :
Thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome is defined as a complex form of thrombophilia that is developed by a fraction of antiphospholipid antibody (aPLA) carriers. Little is known about the genetic risk factors ...
Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection ALBAYZIN 2012 evaluation: overview, systems, results, and discussion
(Springer, 2013-09)
Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection (QbE STD) aims at retrieving data from a speech data repository given an acoustic query containing the term of interest as input. Nowadays, it has been receiving much interest due to ...
ENEKuS – a key model for managing the transformation of the normalisation of the Basque language in the workplace
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2013-06-21)
The aim of this study is to develop a reference model for intervention in the language processes applied to the transformation of language normalisation within organisations of a socio-economic nature. It is based on the ...
Empirical Doppler Characterization of Signals Scattered by Wind Turbines in the UHF Band under Near Field Condition
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Time variability of the scattering signals from wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, especially under near field condition. In order to analyze the variability ...
A Measurement-based Multipath Channel Model for Signal Propagation in Presence of Wind Farms in the UHF Band
(IEEE, 2013-10-15)
[EN] Scattering signals on wind turbines may lead to
degradation problems on the communication systems provided
in the UHF band, such as terrestrial television broadcasting,
broadband wireless systems or public safety ...
A Trifluoromethyl Analogue of Celecoxib Exerts Beneficial Effects in Neuroinflammation
(Public Library of Science, 2013-12-11)
Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inhibitor. We have previously shown that celecoxib inhibits experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in COX-2-deficient mice, suggestive for a mode of action involving ...
Fine mapping and functional analysis of the multiple sclerosis risk gene CD6
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
CD6 has recently been identified and validated as risk gene for multiple sclerosis (MS), based on the association of a single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17824933, located in intron 1. CD6 is a cell surface scavenger ...
Oxidative Stress and Proinflammatory Cytokines Contribute to Demyelination and Axonal Damage in a Cerebellar Culture Model of Neuroinflammation
(Public Library of Science, 2013-02-19)
Background: Demyelination and axonal damage are critical processes in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines elicited by inflammation mediates tissue damage.
Metho ...
Association of height and pubertal timing with lipoprotein subclass profile: exploring the role of genetic and environmental effects
(Wiley, 2013-05-04)
Objectives: Little is known about the relationship between growth and lipoprotein profile. We aimed to analyze common genetic and environmental factors in the association of height from late childhood to adulthood and ...
The association between height and birth order: evidence from 652,518 Swedish men
(BMJ, 2013)
Background: Birth order is associated with outcomes such as birth weight and adult socioeconomic position (SEP), but little is known about the association with adult height. This potential birth order-height association ...
