Identification of IgE via Allergy and Clinical Immunology Publication date: Available online 15 April 2016 *Source:*Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Author(s): Kimishige Ishizaka, Teruko Ishizaka Progress in protein chemistry in the 1950s revealed that the biologic activities of proteins, such as hemoglobin and enzymes, are based on partial structures in the protein molecules. This principle suggested to us the possibility that the human antibodies responsible for induction of reaginic hypersensitivity reactions might have unique structures that are lacking in the antibody mo... περισσότερα »

Low-dose polymyxin: an option for therapy of Gram-negative sepsis

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 11 δευτερόλεπτα
Low-dose polymyxin: an option for therapy of Gram-negative sepsis: Endotoxins are the major components of the outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria and are one of the main targets in inflammatory diseases. The presence of endotoxins in blood can provoke septic shock in case of pronounced immune response. Here we show *in vitro* inactivation of endotoxins by polymyxin B (PMB). The inflammatory activity of the LPS–PMB complex in blood was examined *in vitro* in freshly drawn blood samples. Plasma protein binding of PMB was determined by ultracentrifugation using membranes wit... περισσότερα »

The role of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the airways

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 12 δευτερόλεπτα
TRP functions in the broncho-pulmonary system: AbstractThe current understanding of the role of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the airways and lung was initially based on the localization of a series of such channels in a subset of sensory nerve fibers of the respiratory tract. Soon after, TRP channel expression and function have been identified in respiratory nonneuronal cells. In these two locations, TRPs regulate physiological processes aimed at integrating different stimuli to maintain homeostasis and to react to harmful agents and tissue injury by building up i...περισσότερα »

What to do with “moderate” reliability and validity coefficients?

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοRehabilitation,Sports and Exercise Medicine by Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 1 ώρα
Publication date: Available online 16 April 2016 *Source:*Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Author(s): Marcel W. Post Clinimetric studies may use criteria for test-retest reliability and convergent validity that such correlation coefficients as low as .4 are supportive of reliability and validity. It can be argued that moderate (.4-.6) correlations should not be interpreted in this way and that reliability coefficients below .7 should be considered as indicative of unreliability. Convergent validity coefficients in the .4-.6 or .4-.7 range should be considered as indi...περισσότερα »
