STENTING OF VARIANT LEFT CAROTID ARTERY USING BRACHIAL ARTERY APPROACH IN A PATIENT WITH UNUSUAL TYPE OF BOVINE AORTIC ARCH

Stenting of Variant Left Carotid Artery Using Brachial Artery Approach in a Patient with Unusual Type of Bovine Aortic Arch

Bovine aortic arch is the most frequently encountered variation in human aortic arch branching.A 63-year-old Asian male presented with symptomatic severe stenosis of left carotid artery originating from the brachiocephalic trunk.Selective engagement to the left Dice Sets carotid artery was unsuccessful using transfemoral approach.We reported on a s

Modelling Cournot Games as Multi-agent Multi-armed Bandits

We investigate the use of a multi-agent multi-armed bandit (MA-MAB) setting for modeling repeated Cournot oligopoly games, where the firms acting as agents choose from the set of arms representing production quantity (a discrete value).Agents interact with separate and independent bandit problems.In this formulation, each agent makes sequential cho

Characterization of quorum regulatory small RNAs in an emerging pathogen Vibrio fluvialis and their roles toward type VI secretion system VflT6SS2 modulation

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is essential for Gram-negative bacteria to antagonize a wide variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic competitors and thus gain survival advantages.Two sets of T6SS have been found in Vibrio fluvialis, namely VflT6SS1 and VflT6SS2, among which VflT6SS2 is functionally expressed.The CqsA/LuxS-HapR quorum sensing (QS)
