21 Jun 2010-Cough
TL;DR: This study confirms objectively that cough is a major, very distressing and disabling symptom in IPF patients and strong correlations between objective cough counts and cough related quality of life measures suggest that in IPf patient's, perception of cough frequency is very accurate.
Abstract: Background Cough is a common presenting symptom in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). This study measured cough rates in IPF patients and investigated the association between cough and measures of health related quality of life and subjective cough assessments. In addition, IPF cough rates were related to measures of physiological disease severity and compared to cough rates in health and other respiratory conditions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: New techniques in laser Raman spectroscopy are used to obtain spectra of aqueous solutions of lysozylme for frequency shifts as small as 5 cm−1, and a low‐frequency band observed in crystalline lysozyme is not found in the solution, indicating that this band cannot be attributed to an internal molecular vibration.
Abstract: Synopsis New techniques in laser Raman spectroscopy are used to obtain spectra of aqueous solutions of lysozyme for frequency shifts as small as 5 ern-'. In addition, Raman measurements are made on two crystalline forms of hen egg white lysozyme. The spectra obtained from the solution and from the crystal are found to be similar for frequencies above 100 cm-'. However, a low-frequency band at 25 cm-' observed in crystalline lysozyme is not found in the solution, indicating that this band cannot be attributed to an internal molecular vibration.

TL;DR: There is no reliable evidence from randomized controlled trials to support the use of ketogenic diets for people with epilepsy, and the ketogenic diet is considered a possible option for those with a difficult epilepsy on multiple antiepileptic drugs.
Abstract: Background The ketogenic diet is a diet high in fat but low in carbohydrate and it is suggested that this diet reduces seizure frequency. Currently, this diet is used mainly for children who continue to have seizures despite treatment with antiepileptic drugs. Objectives To overview the evidence from randomized controlled trials regarding the effects of ketogenic diets. Search strategy We searched the Cochrane Epilepsy Group trials register (26 March 2003), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library issue 1, 2003), MEDLINE (January 1966 to March 2003) and EMBASE (1980 to March 2003). Selection criteria Randomized controlled trials of ketogenic diets for people with epilepsy. Data collection and analysis We planned for two reviewers to independently apply inclusion criteria and extract data. Main results No randomized controlled trials were found. Reviewer's conclusions There is no reliable evidence from randomized controlled trials to support the use of ketogenic diets for people with epilepsy. There are large observational studies, some prospective, suggesting an effect on seizures. These effects need validating in randomized controlled trials. For those with a difficult epilepsy on multiple antiepileptic drugs, we consider the ketogenic diet a possible option.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new dataset (and the methodology used to create it) based on a wide range of contemporary documents, with strong emphasis on comprehensive and detailed representation of both complex and simple layouts, and on colour originals.
Abstract: There is a significant need for a realistic dataset on which to evaluate layout analysis methods and examine their performance in detail. This paper presents a new dataset (and the methodology used to create it) based on a wide range of contemporary documents. Strong emphasis is placed on comprehensive and detailed representation of both complex and simple layouts, and on colour originals. In-depth information is recorded both at the page and region level. Ground truth is efficiently created using a new semi-automated tool and stored in a new comprehensive XML representation, the PAGE format. The dataset can be browsed and searched via a web-based front end to the underlying database and suitable subsets (relevant to specific evaluation goals) can be selected and downloaded.
