Plasma cells are not restricted to the CD27+phenotype: characterization of CD27-CD43+antibody-secreting cells
...
UNLABELLED: Circulating antibody-secreting cells are present in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals reflecting the continued activity of the humoral immune system. Antibody-secreting cells typically express CD27. Here we describe and characterize a small population of antibody-secreting class switched CD19+CD43+ B cells that lack expression...
Effects of desalination brine on the fecundity of brine shrimp Artemia franciscana fed on rice bran
Published in Annals of Animal Science
Brine water drained from the desalination stations represents environmental concerns because of its extremely high salinity. Artemia (brine shrimp) is one of the crustaceans that can live in increased saline water. So, it can live in the desalination brine water. This study investigated the possibility of growing Artemia (Artemia franciscana), an e...
A generalizable deep learning regression model for automated glaucoma screening from fundus images
...
A plethora of classification models for the detection of glaucoma from fundus images have been proposed in recent years. Often trained with data from a single glaucoma clinic, they report impressive performance on internal test sets, but tend to struggle in generalizing to external sets. This performance drop can be attributed to data shifts in gla...
Estimation of Total Cost Required in Controlling COVID-19 Outbreaks by Financial Incentives.
Published in International journal of environmental research and public health
In this article, we present a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) to estimate the total cost required to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic by financial incentives. One of the greatest difficulties in controlling the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is that most infected people are not identified and can transmit the virus to other people. Therefo...
The effect of exercise on suicidal ideation and behaviors: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlle...
BACKGROUND: Although exercise may positively impact those with mental or other medical illnesses, there is a lack of understanding on how it influences suicidal ideation or risk. METHODS: We conducted a PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic review searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and PsycINFO from inception to June 21, 2022. Randomized controlled tr...

Questionnaire-based somatosensory profiling in breast cancer survivors: are we there yet? Associations between questionn...
...
PURPOSE: Pain and sensory disturbances are common side effects of breast cancer treatment. Differential somatosensory functioning may reflect distinct pathophysiological backgrounds and therapeutic needs. Aim was to examine whether questionnaires evaluating signs and symptoms related to somatosensory functioning correlate sufficiently with quantita...

Influenza vaccine uptake among children and older adults in China: a secondary analysis of a quasi-experimental study
...
BACKGROUND: Influenza vaccination is the key to prevent influenza-related disease, especially among high-risk populations. However, influenza vaccine uptake in China is low. This secondary analysis of a quasi-experimental trial aimed to understand factors associated with influenza vaccine uptake among children and older people stratified by funding...
