A USER PREFERENCE ANALYSIS OF COMMERCIAL BREATH KETONE SENSORS TO INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT OF PORTABLE BREATH KETONE SENSORS FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT IN YOUNG PEOPLE

A user preference analysis of commercial breath ketone sensors to inform the development of portable breath ketone sensors for diabetes management in young people

Background Portable breath ketone sensors may help people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) avoid episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis; however, the design features preferred by users have not been studied.We aimed to elucidate breath sensor design preferences of young people with T1DM (age 12 to 16) and their parents to inform the development of a

The dual CCR2/CCR5 chemokine receptor antagonist Cenicriviroc reduces macrophage infiltration and disease severity in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Dmdmdx-4Cv) mice.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive muscle weakness which is ultimately fatal, most often due to involvement of the diaphragm.Macrophage infiltration of dystrophic muscles has been strongly linked to muscle damage and fibrosis in DMD.We hypothesized that cenicriviroc (CVC), a dual chemokine receptor (CCR2/CCR5) antagon

Fragile X founder effect and distribution of CGG repeats among the mentally retarded population of Andalusia, South Spain

Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of mental retardation.We investigated the prevalence of the Fragile X syndrome in the population WOMENS with mental retardation of unknown etiology in Andalusia, South Spain.We analyzed 322 unrelated patients (280 males and 42 females), and found a fragile X syndrome frequency of 6.5%.Among the n

Performance Investigation on Elevation Cascaded Digital Beamforming for Multidimensional Waveform Encoding SAR Imaging

An important issue in a Synthetic Aperture Radar Lower Control Board (SAR) system employing Multidimensional Waveform Encoding (MWE) is the fulfillments of Digital BeamForming (DBF) on receive in elevation for a reliable separation of the mutually overlapped echoes from multiple transmit waveforms.In this paper, the performance of a separation appr
