This paper presents an investigation of rational agents that have limited computational resources and that can interact with their environments. We analyse how such agents can combine deductive reasoning using domain knowledge and inductive learning from past experiences, while remaining time-aware in a manner appropriate for beings situated in a dynamic universe. In particular, we consider how th
BACKGROUND: Reducing side effects of immunosuppressive regimens has become a priority in transplantation medicine because of the large number of patients and grafts that succumb to infection in the short term and cardiovascular disease in the long term. The Symphony study was a 12-month prospective, randomized, open-label, multi-centre, four parallel arm study that aimed to evaluate the safety and
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to explore healthcare consumption in relation to more versus less knowledge concerning prescribed drugs among older people with functional dependency and repeated healthcare contacts, and to explore the determinants of more versus less knowledge METHODS: The sample comprised 63 persons (mean age 82.8 years). Data concerning use and knowledge about drugs, demograp
Abstract in Danish Artiklen argumenterer for, at vi alle fødes som mennesker, og at vi alle dør som mennesker; starttidspunktet er os givet; sluttidspunktet kender vi ikke, og det er i princippet uden ’aldersberegning’. Vores livshistorie er med til at skabe, forme og beskrive os; gennem hele livet og også ind i døden. Alder kan forstås og beskrives på mange måder, hvor vi ofte kategoriserer og it
BACKGROUND: The blood group antigens S and s are defined by amino acids Met or Thr at position 29, respectively, on glycophorin B (GPB). Commercial anti-s reagents are expensive to produce because of the scarcity of human anti-s serum. Our aim was to develop hybridoma cell lines that secrete reagent-grade anti-s monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to supplement the supply of human anti-s reagents. STUDY
Statins exert a number of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects in vitro. However, the immunomodulatory effects in vivo are less clarified. In the present study, we investigated whether simvastatin treatment changed the levels of autoantibodies against specific oxidized LDL (oxLDL) antigens as well as their association with leukocyte activation markers. Eighty volunteers with mild-to-mode
Popular Abstract in English What is a photographic camera flash good for? The easy answer is “to illuminate”. There is more to it though: the duration of a camera flash is usually much shorter than the shutter speed of the camera. This allows us to take sharp pictures of fast objects with an inexpensive camera. Ultrafast science is based on a similar principle: no shutter is capable of opening andUltrafast science refers to physical events that happen on the femtosecond (1 fs=10^-15 s) and attosecond (1 as=10^-18 s) timescales. Generation of attosecond pulses is usually achieved by interacting high-intensity femtosecond pulses with matter (typically gases), in a process called high-order harmonic generation (HHG). Under the correct conditions, this process leads to the creation of sub-fs p
Context: The previously reported absence of 65-kDa glutamate decarboxylase antibody (GAD65Ab)-specific antiidiotypic antibodies (anti-Id) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients at clinical onset could be due to an inability to mount an antibody response to GAD65Ab or a longitudinal decline in anti-Id levels. Objective and Design: We investigated anti-Id levels in longitudinal samples obtained from T1D
Objectives: Knowledge of the societal costs of psoriasis is limited. This study estimated the cost of care, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), and quality of life in a defined patient population in Sweden. Methods: A prevalence-based prospective recruitment of patients visiting two Swedish dermatology clinics between September and December 2009 was performed, collecting resource utilization
