1,2,6-thiadiazinones as novel narrow spectrum calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) Inhibitors
(MDPI AG, 2018)We demonstrate for the first time that 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (TDZ) can function as a chemotype for the design of ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors. Using insights from a co-crystal structure of a 3,5-bis(arylamino)-4 ... -
24-month intervention with a specific multinutrient in people with prodromal Alzheimer's disease (LipiDiDiet): a randomised, double-blind, controlled trial
(Elsevier BV, 2017)Background Nutrition is an important modifiable risk factor in Alzheimer's disease. Previous trials of the multinutrient Fortasyn Connect showed benefits in mild Alzheimer's disease dementia. LipiDiDiet investigated the ... -
25 years of advances in the definition, classification and treatment of status epilepticus
(Elsevier BV, 2016)Purpose Status epilepticus (SE) requires not only urgent symptomatic treatment with antiepileptic drugs but also rapid identification and treatment of its cause. This narrative review summarizes the most important advances ... -
2D electrical impedance tomography dataset
(2018-03-21)This is an open access electrical impedance tomography (EIT) dataset. The EIT measurements were collected from a circular body (a flat tank filled with saline) with various choices of conductive and resistive inclusions. The ... -
A century of trends in adult human height
(eLife Sciences Organisation, Ltd., 2016)Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height ... -
A comparative study on household level energy consumption and related emissions from renewable (biomass) and non-renewable energy sources in Bangladesh
(Elsevier BV, 2018)In developing countries, securing clean and equal energy access for all is often constrained by lack of understanding of households’ energy dependency and influencing factors. This study investigates household-level energy ... -
A Comparison of Nonlinear Measures for the Detection of Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy from Heart Rate Variability
(MDPI AG, 2015-03-19)In this work we compare three multiscale measures for their ability to discriminate between participants having cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and aged controls. CAN is a disease that involves nerve damage leading to ... -
A comparison of regret-based and utility-based discrete choice modelling - an empirical illustration with hospital bed choice
(Informa UK Limited, 2018)There is some concern that the unobserved preference heterogeneity in random utility maximization theory-based discrete choice experiment modelling is an important source of error variability. The randomness in utility is ... -
A Development of Clinical Decision Support System for Video Head Impulse Test Based on Fuzzy Inference System
(Hindawi Limited, 2018)This paper represents the clinical decision support system for video head impulse test (vHIT) based on fuzzy inference system. It examines the eye and head movement recorded by the eye movement tracking device, calculates ... -
A Fibre-Reinforced Poroviscoelastic Model Accurately Describes the Biomechanical Behaviour of the Rat Achilles Tendon
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2015-06-01)Background Computational models of Achilles tendons can help understanding how healthy tendons are affected by repetitive loading and how the different tissue constituents contribute to the tendon’s biomechanical response. ... -
A match made in EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC 2015 - experiences of a research-minded initiative at the Workshop in Edinburgh
(EAHIL, 2015)A match made in EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC 2015” – a combination of handouts, a bulletin board and some post-it-notes, announcements in Facebook and Twitter, and a workshop session – was an initiative at the EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC 2015 ... -
A new crystal form of Aspergillus oryzae catechol oxidase and evaluation of copper site structures in coupled binuclear copper enzymes
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)Coupled binuclear copper (CBC) enzymes have a conserved type 3 copper site that binds molecular oxygen to oxidize various mono- and diphenolic compounds. In this study, we found a new crystal form of catechol oxidase from ... -
A non-targeted metabolite profiling pilot study suggests that tryptophan and lipid metabolisms are linked with ADHD-like behaviours in dogs
(Springer Nature, 2016)Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent and multifactorial neuropsychiatric disorder in the human population worldwide. Complex etiology and clinical heterogeneity have challenged the ... -
A peer-support lifestyle intervention for preventing type 2 diabetes in India: A cluster-randomized controlled trial of the Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program.
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)Background The major efficacy trials on diabetes prevention have used resource-intensive approaches to identify high-risk individuals and deliver lifestyle interventions. Such strategies are not feasible for wider ... -
A pilot study on the reproductive risks of maternal exposure to magnetic fields from electronic article surveillance systems
(Informa UK Limited, 2018)Purpose: We investigated the feasibility of a large-scale epidemiological study on reproductive effects of intermediate frequency (IF) magnetic field (MF) exposure among cashiers working near electronic article surveillance ... -
A prospective, randomized, open label, controlled study investigating the efficiency and safety of 3 different methods of rectus sheath block analgesia following midline laparotomy
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2018)Background: There is a controversy regarding the efficacy of rectus sheath block (RSB). The aim of the present study was to evaluate analgesic efficacy and safety of three different methods of RSB in postoperative pain ... -
A prototype of an optical sensor for the identification of diesel oil adulterated by kerosene
(Springer Nature, 2018)Background Liquid fuel adulteration has several far-reaching impacts such as environmental pollution. A widespread practice is typically the adulteration of diesel oil by kerosene. The relatively cheap price of kerosene ... -
A simple model for the time evolution of the condensation sink in the atmosphere for intermediate Knudsen numbers
(Copernicus GmbHSaksa, 2018)Transformation of the mass flux towards the particle from the kinetic regime to the continuum regime is often described by the Fuchs–Sutugin coefficient. Kinetic regime can be obtained as a limiting case when only one term ... -
