“…Percent changes were calculated between shape features extracted from the original and resampled contoured images to evaluate the influence of spatial resampling. Finally, the percent change in shape features when the volume was changed from 25% to 150% of their original volume was quantified for three distinct tumor models and compared to the percent change observed when modifying the spiculatedness of the model from d = 11 to d = 92. …”

“…Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured at 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6 years and were analyzed for possible covariates using mixed models to generate a final model. RESULTS: In total, 171 children (88 [51.5%] female) were included in this analysis. …”

“…Children born to women without formal education, in non-hazardous jobs, irrespective of the hours spent at work, were more likely to be involved in child labour (52.9%, 56.8%, 62.4%) compared to children of mothers with some level of education. Finally, children who have experienced psychological aggression and physical punishment are more likely to be used as child labour than those without such experience across the job types and hours spent. …”

“…These data indicated a connection between tRF and the severity of NAFLD assessed by pathology and metabolism index. Finally, a cutoff of fold change ≥ 1.5 was employed to identify the differentially expressed tRFs and most of those were tiRNA-5 as speculated. qRT-PCR was conducted for validation, among which fold change of AS-tDR-000666 (Gly(GCC) derived tiRNA-5) was significative (CH vs WT=4.29, CKO4 vs CWT4=0.22, CKO8 vs CWT8=0.05). …”

“…In a third sample (n=10) of patients with TRS treated with clozapine, IL-1β was correlated with passive/apathetic social withdrawal (r=0.657, p=0.039) and disturbance of volition (r=0.686, p=0.029) items of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale and the global avolition-apathy scores of the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (r=0.751, p=0.012). Finally, in a small subsample (n=5) of patients from this TRS cohort for whom we collected fMRI data, we found resting-state functional connectivity from a right nucleus accumbens seed to a cluster in medial prefrontal cortex. …”
