Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis
No full textCryoglobulinemic vasculitis is a small- and medium-sized vasculitis characterized by immune complex deposition in various tissues. Cryoglobulins (CGs) are cold precipitable immunoglobulins that redissolve upon heating. Causes of cryoglobulinemia include infections with hepatitis C virus as the leading cause, autoimmune diseases, and lymphoproliferative disorders. Many mechanisms contribute to its pathogenesis, among which there are roles for microorganisms with their molecular mimicry, the rheumatoid factor, and host gene mutations. Other factors reported include adaptive and innate immunity dysregulation, epigenetics, as well as the physicochemical properties of cryoglobulins like hyperviscosity and self-aggregation in type І CG. Clinical manifestations are attributed to hyperviscosity in the monoclonal type І. The mixed types II, III can have cutaneous, musculoskeletal, neurological, renal, cardio-pulmonary, and other organ manifestations. There is an increased risk of malignancy with non-Hodgkin lymphoma being the classical complication. The differential diagnosis includes a wide array of disease entities that need to be considered. Diagnosis requires many modalities: laboratory, imaging, and microscopic. Treatment should be tailored based on disease severity and the underlying cause. Following the successful introduction of direct-acting anti-HCV drugs, autoimmune and lymphoproliferative disorders substituted HCV as the leading cause of CGs. Relapse of Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis was however reported following successful virus eradication

Network Boundary Identification using Local Information
No full textDetection of nodes on the network boundary is necessary for correct operation in many wireless applications. Many virtual coordinate constructions rely on the furthest set of nodes as beacons, and sensing applications may find useful the knowledge of the network edge. In this paper we propose local convex view (lcv) as a means to identify nodes close to the network edge. It is based on the idea that -hulls can capture the shape of a set of points, and motivated by the hypothesis that some structural information relevant to the network is buried within view of many nodes. The lcv differs from most previous methods in that it is a localized algorithm. Nodes using lcv establish neighbourhood coordinates where no location information is available a priori. In those cases where needed information is missing, we adopt a simple probabilistic model to decide the boundary status of a node. We identify two metrics for evaluation, and compare via simulation the performance of lcv against two methods with similar properties. In our experiments we find lcv to be consistent in its performance, and resilient to the impediments facing other methods

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
