Affinity purification of human factor H on polypeptides derived from streptococcal m protein: enrichment of the Y402 variant.

Recent studies indicate that defective activity of complement factor H (FH) is associated with several human diseases, suggesting that pure FH may be used for therapy.Here, we describe a simple method to isolate Bun Pan Racks human FH, based on the specific interaction between FH and the hypervariable region (HVR) of certain Streptococcus pyogenes

Compressing Fisher Vector for Robust Face Recognition

One major topic for robust face recognition could be the efficient encoding of facial descriptors.Among various encoders, Fisher vector (FV) is one of the probabilistic methods that yield promising results.However, its huge representation is fairly forbidding.In this paper, we present approaches to efficiently compress FV and retain its robustness.

Six decades of natural opiate use in a nonagenarian

Elderly natural opiate users are often forced to seek treatment when they cannot avail opioids.We present here a case of Pedestal Base a 98-year-old male who came to us with six decades of natural opiate use in the form of raw opium and poppy husk.The patient was managed symptomatically with tramadol and diazepam for Capsules-Gels about 6 months.Th
