THE DIVERSITY OF SERUM ANTI-DSG3 IGG SUBCLASSES HAS A MAJOR IMPACT ON PEMPHIGUS ACTIVITY AND IS PREDICTIVE OF RELAPSES AFTER TREATMENT WITH RITUXIMAB

IntroductionWe studied the distribution and in vitro pathogenicity of anti-DSG3 IgG subclasses during the course of pemphigus vulgaris (PV).MethodsWe longitudinally studied the distribution of anti-DSG3 IgG subclasses (before versus after treatment) in sera from PV patients, using an addressable-laser bead immunoassay (ALBIA).The in vitro pathogeni

tg02-0325m Introduction: Clinically relevant information can go uncaptured in the conventional scoring of a verbal fluency test.We hypothesize that characterizing the temporal aspects of the response through a set of time related measures will be useful in distinguishing those with MCI from cognitively intact controls.Methods: Audio recordings of a

As awareness for diagnosing and screening patients for trauma has grown, more effective evidence-based treatments are available to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Despite these gains, several patients are non-responsive to care and research has shifted to determining barriers for cure or improvement.With the advent of modern warfare, th

Retinal tissue plays a crucial part in human vision.Infections of retinal tissue and delayed treatment or untreated infection could lead to loss of vision.Additionally, the diagnosis is prone to errors when huge dataset is involved.Therefore, a fully automated model of identification of retinal disease is proposed to reduce human interaction while

Guava (Psidium guajava) this is a tropical fruit and one of the common tropical fruits in Bangladesh.The economic and health value of this important crop is unmeasurable, but it quickly becomes infected with many diseases that can greatly reduce its yield and quality.Thus, the use of technology for automatic fruit and leaf disease detection is nece
