Increased risk of cardiovascular disease in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: causal effect or epiphenomenon?
No full textAbstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),
comprising a spectrum of conditions ranging from pure
steatosis to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis, has reached
epidemic proportions and represents the most common
cause of chronic liver disease in the community. The
prevalence of NAFLD has been estimated to be between
20% and 30% in the general population, but this value is
much higher (∼70–80%) in type 2 diabetic patients, who
are also at higher risk of developing advanced fibrosis and
cirrhosis. Increasing recognition of the importance of
NAFLD and its strong relationship with the metabolic
syndrome has stimulated an interest in the possible role
of NAFLD in the development of cardiovascular disease
(CVD). Several epidemiological studies indicate that NAFLD,
especially in its more severe forms, is linked to an increased
risk of CVD, independently of underlying cardiometabolic
risk factors. This suggests that NAFLD is not merely a
marker of CVD, but may also be actively involved in its
pathogenesis. The possible molecular mediators linking
NAFLD and CVD include the release of pro-atherogenic
factors from the liver (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen,
plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and other inflammatory
cytokines) as well as the contribution of NAFLD per se to
whole-body insulin resistance and atherogenic dyslipidemia,
in turn favouring CVD progression. The clinical impact of
NAFLD on CVD risk deserves particular attention in view of
the implications for screening and surveillance strategies in
the growing number of patients with NAFLD
Exact solution of BFKL equation in jet-physics
No full textIt has been recently found that the heavy quark-antiquark Q 1Q
pair multiplicity,
in certain phase space region (Q 1Q
at short distance, soft and with small velocity), satis ̄es
an evolution equation formally similar to the BFKL equation for the high energy scattering
amplitude. We ̄nd the exact solution of the Q 1 Q-equation and discuss the di®erences with
the BFKL scattering amplitude

On the structure of finite memory and separable 2D systems
No full textSeveral characterizations of finite memory and separability properties for a two-dimensional system are presented, in terms of both the characteristic polynomial and the matrix pair that describes the state evolution. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite memory or separable two-dimensional system to have an inverse with the same properties are given; these involve only the structure of the transfer matrix
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
