TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS WITH LOW-DOSE FENOFIBRATE EFFECTIVELY REDUCES PLASMA LIPIDS AND AFFECTS PLASMA REDOX STATUS

Treatment of chronic hemodialysis patients with low-dose fenofibrate effectively reduces plasma lipids and affects plasma redox status

Abstract Dyslipidemia is common in chronic hemodialysis patients and its underlying mechanism is complex.Hemodialysis causes an imbalance between antioxidants and production of reactive oxygen species, which induces the oxidative stress and thereby may lead to accelerated atherosclerosis.Statins have been found to be little effective in end-stage k

Dynamical selection of Nash equilibria using reinforcement learning: Emergence of heterogeneous mixed equilibria.

We study the distribution of strategies in a large game that models how agents choose among different double auction markets.We classify the possible mean field Nash equilibria, which include potentially segregated states where an agent population can split into subpopulations adopting different strategies.As the game is aggregative, the actual equ

Power, Struggle and State Crime: Researching through Resistance

Following the commission of state crimes, state officials are in the privileged position of being able to mobilize significant resources to conceal their activities.Laying siege to the fortifications which facilitate denial is a difficult, often dangerous process that can, in general, only be mounted by movements of depileve easy clean resistance.C
