Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of blindness globally.Sodium Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been demonstrated to exert cardiorenal protection in patients with diabetes.However, their potential beneficial effect on DR is less well studied.The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of the SGLT2 i
Long-term changes in dune volume at the Belgian coast are analyzed based on measured data by airborne surveys available from 1979.For most of the 65 km long coastal stretch, dune volume increases linearly in time at a constant rate.Dune growth varies between 0−12.3 m3/m/year with an average dune growth of 6.2 m3/m/year, featuring large variat
In the field of distributed decision making, different agents share a common processing resource, and each agent wants to minimize a cost function depending on its jobs only.These issues arise in different application contexts, including real-time systems, integrated service networks, industrial districts, and telecommunication systems.Motivated by
An algorithm based on the human evolutionary model is proposed for solving nonlinear keychron m6 mouse bilevel programing problems.In view of the hierarchical structure of this problem, the algorithm is designed through feeding back the optimal solution of the lower-level problem to the upper-level.Based on the quality of individuals at each iterat
Abstract Purpose The research endeavors to explore the implications of CD47 in cancer immunotherapy effectiveness.Specifically, there is a gap in comprehending the influence of CD47 on the tumor immune microenvironment, particularly in relation to CD8 + T cells.Our study aims to elucidate the prognostic and immunological relevance of CD47 to enhanc
