Korejiešu valodas transkripcija un transliterācija
2019
“Korejiešu valodas transkripcija un transliterācija” ir darbs, kur tiek skaidrots ne tikai korejiešu valodas pieraksts angļu un latviešu valodās, bet arī tiek skaidrota korejiešu alfabēta izveides vēsture, korejiešu valodas fonoloģija, kas ir nepieciešama transkripcijas izveidē. Darba mērķis ir sniegt vispārīgu ieskatu korejiešu valodas pierakstā angļu un latviešu valodā, veicot arī paskaidrojumus par procesiem šajās valodās, kas var ietekmēt romanizācijas sistēmu pierakstu. Romanizācijas sistēmas angļu valodā tiek kritizētas gan par neprecīzu korejiešu valodas izrunas pierakstu, gan par neprecīzu vārdu grafisku attēlojumu. Šāda kritika ir nenovēršama, jo korejiešu un angļu valodas ir dažād…
Efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy with grass allergens for seasonal allergic rhinitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2010
Background The benefit of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with grass allergens for seasonal allergic rhinitis has been extensively studied, but data on efficacy are still equivocal. Objective To assess the effectiveness of SLIT with grass allergens in the reduction of symptoms and medication in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis to grass pollen. Methods Computerized bibliographic searches of MEDLINE (1995-2010) were supplemented by hand searches of reference lists. Studies were included if they were double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SLIT to placebo and if they included patients with history of allergy to grass pollen treated with natural grass pollen extracts.…
Renal Lipotoxicity-Associated Inflammation and Insulin Resistance Affects Actin Cytoskeleton Organization in Podocytes
2015
In the last few decades a change in lifestyle has led to an alarming increase in the prevalence of obesity and obesity-associated complications. Obese patients are at increased risk of developing hypertension, heart disease, insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes and renal disease. The excess calories are stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue, but also may accumulate ectopically in other organs, including the kidney, which contributes to the damage through a toxic process named lipotoxicity. Recently, the evidence suggests that renal lipid accumulation leads to glomerular damage and, more specifically, produces dysfunction in podocytes, key cells that compose and maintai…
Adherence issues related to sublingual immunotherapy as perceived by allergists.
2010
Silvia Scurati1, Franco Frati1, Gianni Passalacqua2, Paola Puccinelli1, Cecile Hilaire1, Cristoforo Incorvaia3, Italian Study Group on SLIT Compliance 1Scientific and Medical Department, Stallergenes, Milan, Italy; 2Allergy and Respiratory Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Genoa; 3Allergy/Pulmonary Rehabilitation, ICP Hospital, Milan, ItalyObjectives: Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a viable alternative to subcutaneous immunotherapy to treat allergic rhinitis and asthma, and is widely used in clinical practice in many European countries. The clinical efficacy of SLIT has been established in a number of clinical trials and meta-analyses. However, because SLIT is self-administered…
Ionising radiation and lens opacities in interventional physicians: results of a German pilot study
2019
We assessed the feasibility of an epidemiological study on the risk of radiation-related lens opacities among interventional physicians in Germany. In a regional multi-centre pilot study associated with a European project, we tested the recruitment strategy, a European questionnaire on work history for the latter dosimetry calculation and the endpoint assessment. 263 interventional physicians and 129 non-exposed colleagues were invited. Questionnaires assessed eligibility criteria, risk factors for cataract, and work history relating to occupational exposure to ionising radiation, including details on type and amount of procedures performed, radiation sources, and use of protective equipmen…
Radiation effects on light scattering and cataract formation in the lenses of interventional radiologist and cardiologists
2014
Purpose There is little information about exposure to dosages below 500 mSv. This pilot study aimed at investigating the effects of low dose radiation on lens transparency in occupationally exposed interventional cardiologists and radiologists. Methods Physicians who have performed fluoroscopically guided procedures for at least 5 years were recruited in the areas of Cologne-Bonn and Rhine-Main together with their non-exposed colleagues. A questionnaire has been developed to estimate occupational exposure. Exclusion criteria comprised corticosteroid treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and glaucoma. Changes in lens transparency and cataract formation were determined by slit lamp microscopy…
Efficacy of subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy with grass allergens for seasonal allergic rhinitis: a meta-analysis–based comparison
2012
Background: Subcutaneous (SCIT) and sublingual (SLIT) immunotherapy are the 2 most prescribed routes for administering allergen-specific immunotherapy. They were shown to be effective in control of symptoms and in reducing rescue medication use in patients with allergic diseases, but their effectiveness has to be balanced against side effects. In recent years, SLIT has been increasingly prescribed, instead of SCIT, because of improved safety and easy administration. Objective: We assessed which route is the most effective in the treatment of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis to grass pollen. Methods: An indirect meta-analysis–based comparison between SCIT and SLIT was performed. Trea…
Personvārdu transliterācija izmantojot neironu tīklus
2019
Personvārdu transliterācija ar neironu tīkliem paliek lielā mērā neizpētīts temats, neskatoties uz tās vairākiem potenciāliem pielietojumiem, tai skaitā: mašīntulkošana, informāciju apkopošanas sistēmas, interneta meklēšanas sistēmas un citi. Tas ietver virkņu modelēšanas neironu arhitektūru izmantošanu, lai atveidotu cilvēka vārdu citā valodā, ievērojot tās pareizrakstības kanonus. Šās disertācijas mērķis ir izprast šo pieeju, uzmanīgi izanalizējot dažādu priekšapstrādes procedūru un modeļu arhitektūru ietekmi uz gala rezultātu. Autors eksperimentāli pārbauda dažādus paņēmienus un piedāvā rekomendācijas, lai veicinātu “state-of-the-art” modeļa izstrādi. Procesā, autors izveido modeļus, kas…
Análisis sistemático y cuantitativo del registro de presión intracraneal en el niño y adulto joven
2015
La hidrocefalia y trastornos de la circulación del líquido cefalorraquídeo suponen una importante fuente de discapacidad y carga asistencial en el campo de la neurocirugía en general y en la población pediátrica en particular. Su tratamiento consiste principalmente en la implantación de tratamientos derivativos del líquido cefalorraquídeo, los cuales han sido el procedimiento que más vidas y más función neurológica han preservado en el último siglo en esta especialidad. El diagnóstico de los trastornos de líquido suele ser evidente basándose en datos clínicos y radiológicos. Sin embargo, en ocasiones se presentan de manera más insidiosa y su diagnóstico requiere de pruebas invasivas que per…
