This chapter brings a contribution to the textual transmission and the history of interpretation of the Gospel of John. It looks at the exegesis of John 14:25–26 (the Second Paraclete Saying) and John 16:12–15 (the Fifth Paraclete Saying) in the writings of Eusebius of Caesarea and Cyril of Jerusalem, focusing on how these two patristic authors have understood the teaching function of the Paraclete in relation to Jesus' earthly teaching. Given ...
Noninferiority Clinical Trials: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly KU Leuven
For decades, the superiority trial has been the most popular design to assess the efficacy of newly developed drugs in a randomized controlled clinical trial. In a superiority trial, the aim is to show that the new (experimental) treatment is better than the standard treatment or placebo. However, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve the efficacy upon that of existing drugs. For this reason, noninferiority designs have been suggested. In ...
The Good, the Bad and the Unknown Aspects of Ghrelin in Stress Coping and Stress-Related Psychiatric Disorders Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Ghrelin is a peptide hormone released by specialized X/A cells in the stomach and activated by acylation. Following its secretion, it binds to ghrelin receptors in the periphery to regulate energy balance, but it also acts on the central nervous system where it induces a potent orexigenic effect. Several types of stressors have been shown to stimulate ghrelin release in rodents, including nutritional stressors like food deprivation, but also ...
The rude, the bad and the ugly : penalising incivilities in Europe Universiteit Gent
Media representations of incivilities could include the inspection of the possible influence of newspaper ownership on the content of the press as well as include other media such as television and digital and social media which are an increasingly popular platform for sharing and receiving information. In the light of the existing research concerning media influences and the widespread phenomenon of populist politics, media representations have ...
The good, the bad, and the talented: entrepreneurial talent and selfish behavior Universiteit Antwerpen
Talent allocation models assume that entrepreneurially talented people are selfish and thus allocate into unproductive or even destructive activities if these offer the highest private returns. This paper experimentally analyzes selfish preferences of the entrepreneurially talented. We find that making a distinction between creative talent and business talent explains systematic differences in selfish behavior. Generally, both the less ...
Neutrophils in malaria: the good, the bad or the ugly? KU Leuven
Abstract Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leukocytes in human peripheral blood. They are often the first cells to respond to an invading pathogen and might therefore play an important role in malaria. Malaria is a globally important disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, responsible for more than 400 000 deaths each year. Most of these deaths are caused by complications, including cerebral malaria, severe malarial anemia, placental ...
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells in lymphoma: The good, the bad and the ugly KU Leuven
Lymphomas cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. A substantial number of patients ultimately relapse after standard treatment. However, the efficacy of these therapies can be counteracted by the patients' immune system, more specifically by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC). MDSC are a heterogeneous group of immature myeloid cells that suppress the innate and adaptive immune system via different mechanisms and accumulate ...
The good, the bad and the ugly of spinal cord injury spasticity: Towards a better diagnosis and targeted treatment strategy KU Leuven
© 2013, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Spasticity is an important sensorimotor disorder that affects between 65-78% of people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Although the standard diagnosis of spasticity relies on the standard measurement of hypertonia and stretch hyperreflexia, these symptoms are often described by patients as beneficial and may only play a limited role in motor dysfunction. In contrast related spasticity signs, such as ...
