“…Patients' experience was explored through a structured survey.</p> <h3> Results</h3> <p>There was no statistically significant difference between clinic-based and phone-based anticoagulation services in mean time and number of visits within therapeutic range (<i>P</i> = .67; <i>P</i> = .06 respectively); mean number of extreme subtherapeutic and supratherapeutic INR values (<i>P</i> = .32 and <i>P</i> = .34, respectively); incidence of thromboembolic complications and warfarin related hospitalization. …”

Investigating the Role of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member 2 (ACSS2) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Expression in Clinical Samples and Insights from In Vitro Models by Mezher, Nawal

“…Using Caco-2 and HT-29 intestinal epithelial cell lines stimulated with Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) or Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) as in vitro models of inflammation, we observed upregulation of ACSS2 protein expression. ACSS2 inhibition significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 8 (IL-8), IL-1β, and TNF-α, and attenuated activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, as evidenced by decreased phosphorylation of p65 and ERK/MEK. …”

Estimating the probability of detection of cracks in metal plates using lamb waves by Masurkar, Faeez

“…The guided Lamb waves are generated and sensed using an array of direct-write (DW) polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) annular comb shaped transducers designed to explicitly generate a desired guided wave mode in the test specimen. The annular comb design helps generate a single desired wave mode in the specimen thereby suppressing the energy of other wave modes that can be generated simultaneously. …”
