ASSESSMENT OF RENAL ARTERY RESISTIVE INDEX AS A PREDICTOR OF ESOPHAGEAL VARICES AND ITS BLEEDING RISK IN POST-HEPATITIC CIRRHOSIS

Assessment of renal artery resistive index as a predictor of esophageal varices and its bleeding risk in post-hepatitic cirrhosis

Background Bleeding from rupture esophageal varices (EV) is a major and life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis (LC).Early detection of EV and prediction of its bleeding risk is important.Objective To assess and evaluate the resistive index (RI) of the renal artery (RA) by Doppler in various stages of portal hypertensive manifestations of

Greedy Action Selection and Pessimistic Q-Value Updating in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning with Sparse Interaction

Although multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is a promising method for learning a collaborative action policy, enabling each agent to accomplish specified tasks, MARL has a problem of exponentially increasing state-action space.This state-action space can be dramatically reduced by assuming sparse interaction.We previously proposed three meth

The Effect of Antiretroviral Combination Treatment on Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Genome Load in HIV-Infected Patients

We evaluated the effect of combination anti-retroviral treatment (cART) on the host control of EBV infection in moderately immunosuppressed HIV-1 patients.Twenty HIV-1 infected individuals were followed for five years with repeated read more measurements of EBV DNA load in peripheral blood lymphocytes in relation to HIV-RNA titers and CD4+ cell cou
