Cenderitide: structural requirements for the creation of a novel dual particulate guanylyl cyclase receptor agonist with renal-enhancing in vivo and ex vivo actions.

European heart journal. Cardiovascular pharmacotherapy
AIMS: Cenderitide is a novel dual natriuretic peptide (NP) receptor chimeric peptide activator, which targets the particulate guanylyl cyclase B (pGC-B) receptor and pGC-A unlike native NPs. Cenderitide was engineered to retain the anti-fibrotic prop...

Improved system identification using artificial neural networks and analysis of individual differences in responses of an identified neuron.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Mathematical modelling is used routinely to understand the coding properties and dynamics of responses of neurons and neural networks. Here we analyse the effectiveness of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as a modelling tool for motor neuron respons...

Intestinal helminth infections amongst HIV-infected adults in Mthatha General Hospital, South Africa.

African journal of primary health care & family medicine
BACKGROUND: In South Africa, studies on the prevalence of intestinal helminth co-infection amongst HIV-infected patients as well as possible interactions between these two infection sare limited.

Mutagenic Potential ofBos taurus Papillomavirus Type 1 E6 Recombinant Protein: First Description.

BioMed research international
Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) is considered a useful model to study HPV oncogenic process. BPV interacts with the host chromatin, resulting in DNA damage, which is attributed to E5, E6, and E7 viral oncoproteins activity. However, the oncogenic mechani...

Automated identification of copepods using digital image processing and artificial neural network.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Copepods are planktonic organisms that play a major role in the marine food chain. Studying the community structure and abundance of copepods in relation to the environment is essential to evaluate their contribution to mangrove trophodyn...

Field study analysis of the influences of deworming regimens and housing conditions on parasites and sperm output in 21 European boar studs.

Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)
The current study reports the parasitological results of a quality control audit in 21 European boar studs. Field investigations were performed over a 2-year period (2012-2013) during the winter and spring. From each stud, an average of 30 (range, 25...

LedPred: an R/bioconductor package to predict regulatory sequences using support vector machines.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
UNLABELLED: Supervised classification based on support vector machines (SVMs) has successfully been used for the prediction of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs). However, no integrated tool using such heterogeneous data as position-specific scoring matri...

Improved Classification of Lung Cancer Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network with Affine Transforms of Voss Representation.

PloS one
Lung cancer is one of the diseases responsible for a large number of cancer related death cases worldwide. The recommended standard for screening and early detection of lung cancer is the low dose computed tomography. However, many patients diagnosed...

Stimulation of regressing subordinate follicles of wave 2 with a gonadotropin product in heifers.

Domestic animal endocrinology
The recovery of regressing wave-2 subordinate follicles was studied by treating heifers with a gonadotropin product that had about 84% and 16% of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone activity, respectively. A treated group (n = 8) rec...

Investigation into homocysteine [corrected], vitamin E and malondialdehyde as indicators of successful artificial insemination in synchronized buffalo cows (Bubalus bubalis).

Research in veterinary science
The aim of this study was to describe modifications in plasma homocysteine (Hcy), vitamin E (VitE) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in the first 56 days after artificial insemination (AI) in buffalo. Thirty-five buffalo cows were divided, ex ...
