Toll-like receptors (TLRs) activation enables host to recognize a large number of pathogen-associated molecule patterns (PAMPs), ignite immune cells to discriminate between self and non-self, and then promote the following innate and adaptive immune responses.Accumulated clinical/preclinical evidences have proven TLRs to be critical role in the aut
Objective: to identify the signs of neuropathic pain (NP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the basis of the PainDETECT questionnaire and neurological examination.Patients and methods.A total of 208 RA patients (39 men and 169 women; mean age, 47.7 years) with chronic pain syndrome were examined.The patients underwent rheumatological an
Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been extensively used in the railway industry, with oljelampe applications ranging from railway infrastructures to carbody shells.An SHM method that dominates monitoring procedures is Acoustic Emissions (AE).The utilisation of the AE method could use a significantly large amount of data, collected and forwarde
Obstacle distance measurement is one of the key technologies for autonomous navigation of high-voltage transmission line inspection robots.To address the robustness of obstacle distance measurement under varying illumination conditions, this article develops a research method that fuses image enhancement with robot monocular vision so that the robo
