Monoclonal antibodies against components of the classical pathway of complement.

1989

Activation of the classical pathway of complement involves several binding and enzymatic cleavage processes. Binding and enzymatic activation results in the appearance of new structures in the individual components. This report describes the different activation steps for C1q, C1r, C1s, C4 and C2 and summarizes monoclonal antibodies reported so far which recognize either conserved epitopes or activation-dependent epitopes with particular emphasis on neoepitopes occurring during the activation cascade.

Evaluation of a murine single-blood-injection SAH model.

2014

The molecular pathways underlying the pathogenesis after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are poorly understood and continue to be a matter of debate. A valid murine SAH injection model is not yet available but would be the prerequisite for further transgenic studies assessing the mechanisms following SAH. Using the murine single injection model, we examined the effects of SAH on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the somatosensory (S1) and cerebellar cortex, neuro-behavioural and morphological integrity and changes in quantitative electrocorticographic and electrocardiographic parameters. Micro CT imaging verified successful blood delivery into the cisterna magna. An acute impairment of …

Endocrinology and physiology of pseudocyesis

2013

This literature review on pseudocyesis or false pregnancy aims to find epidemiological, psychiatric/psychologic, gynecological and endocrine traits associated with this condition in order to propose neuroendocrine/endocrine mechanisms leading to the emergence of pseudocyetic traits. Ten women from 5 selected studies were analyzed after applying stringent criteria to discriminate between cases of true pseudocyesis (pseudocyesis vera) versus delusional, simulated or erroneous pseudocyesis. The analysis of the reviewed studies evidenced that pseudocyesis shares many endocrine traits with both polycystic ovarian syndrome and major depressive disorder, although the endocrine traits are more akin…

Mid- to Long-Term Outcomes of Cervical Disc Arthroplasty versus Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion for Treatment of Symptomatic Cervical Disc Di…

2015

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the mid- to long-term outcomes of cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the treatment of 1-level or 2-level symptomatic cervical disc disease. Methods Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials that reported mid- to long-term outcomes (at least 48 months) of CDA versus ACDF. All data were analyzed by Review Manager 5.3 software. The relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for dichotomous variables. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%CIs were calculated for conti…

Stabilność polityczna i personalna władz w warunkach alternacji i ciągłości rządów

2017

Celem rozdziału jest analiza stabilności polskiej sceny politycznej w wymiarze politycznym i personalnym. Przejścia i rozłamy w klubach parlamentarnych oraz zmiany w ramach gabinetów rządowych w trakcie V, VI i VII kadencji Sejmu poddane zostały analizie ilościowej i jakościowej. Pozwoliła ona sformułować wnioski o stabilności struktur władzy ustawodawczej i wykonawczej. Analizie poddano okres 10 lat, obejmujący trzy kadencje Sejmu oraz pięć gabinetów rządowych. Głównym problemem badawczym jest określenie, na ile zmiany w politycznym i personalnym składzie organów władzy wykonawczej i ustawodawczej odzwierciedlają polityczną stabilność całego systemu politycznego. Pod uwagę wzięto trzy kade…

Transfery poselskie w Sejmie III RP jako element strategii politycznej

2019

The article aims to explain the phenomenon of parliamentary party switching in the context of political strategy Switching parties by legislators during the term is often seen as an opportunistic behavior, focused on obtaining attractive places on electoral party lists The paper’s goals are to determine if the legislators’ will to switch parties is correlated with the party public support and, finally, if the deputies truly have better chances of winning reelection if they switch parties

An Innovative Power Line Communication solution For Medium Voltage Smart Grids Applications

2018

This paper summarizes the authors research activity concerning the design, modeling and experimental characterization of a new coupling system for medium voltage (MV) narrow band power line communications (NB-PLC). The proposed solution has been patented by authors and it exploits the capacitive divider of voltage detecting systems (VDSs) normally used to reveal the mains voltage presence, thus avoiding the use of dedicated MV couplers. In the following, the modeling of the VDS capacitive divider is presented and the interface card design is described, based on simulation of the whole PLC transmission channel. Laboratory tests are also presented. Finally, the results are shown of an on-fiel…

Racjonalizacja planowania rozwoju miast w aspekcie teoretycznym i praktycznym

2021

Punktem wyjścia w dyskusji o ewolucji systemu zarządzania rozwojem miast jest zazwyczaj analiza jego braków i słabości. Rzadziej są nim stosowane przez gminy praktyki planistyczne, które zwiększają skuteczność i racjonalność podejmowanych działań. Artykuł stanowi esencjonalny przegląd aktualnych dobrych praktyk z obszarów planowania przestrzennego i strategicznego, obrazujących oddolne i nieskodyfikowane działania samorządów lokalnych.Przykłady zostały osadzone w teoretycznych ramach holistycznego ujęcia problemu rozwoju miast. Celem artykułu, poza ilustracją zagadnień wraz z ich teoretyczną podbudową, jest inspiracja do zmian w kształcie opisanej przepisami prawa ustawowej części systemu p…

ISTehnology – integrated Approach to IS Development and Benefits of its Using

2011

The system ISTechnology and benefits of its usage are analyzed in the paper. ISTechnology provides an integrated approach to business modeling and development of information systems. The system consists of a meta-model and applications. The meta-model enables defining of a platform independent business model of the organization. The applications provide the definition and interpretation of the business model. Interpretation of the business model provides functionality of the information system in the selected platform. The lessons learned confirm that the development and maintenance cost of information systems can be significantly reduced by use of the ISTechnology. The paper describes addi…
