  2. Prednisone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prednisone

    Prednisone is a prodrug and must be converted to prednisolone by the liver before it becomes active. [6] [7] Prednisolone then binds to glucocorticoid receptors, activating them and triggering changes in gene expression. [4] Prednisone was patented in 1954 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1955.

  3. Mineralocorticoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralocorticoid

    The name mineralocorticoid derives from early observations that these hormones were involved in the retention of sodium, a mineral.The primary endogenous mineralocorticoid is aldosterone, although a number of other endogenous hormones (including progesterone [1] and deoxycorticosterone) have mineralocorticoid function.

  5. Active learning (machine learning) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_learning_(machine...

    Active learning is a special case of machine learning in which a learning algorithm can interactively query a human user (or some other information source), to label new data points with the desired outputs. The human user must possess knowledge/expertise in the problem domain, including the ability to consult/research authoritative sources ...

  6. Steroid hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid_hormone

    Most studies say that hormones can only affect cells when they are not bound by serum proteins. In order to be active, steroid hormones must free themselves from their blood-solubilizing proteins and either bind to extracellular receptors, or passively cross the cell membrane and bind to nuclear receptors. This idea is known as the free hormone ...

  7. Steroid dementia syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid_dementia_syndrome

    His teachers reported continued deficits in memory function, new learning efficiency, verbal reasoning skills, organizational skills, attention, and concentration, deficits which were confirmed by neuropsychological testing; as such, stopping the treatment with steroids brought on a substantial but incomplete relief, the damage being possibly ...

  8. Sample complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_complexity

    In probably approximately correct (PAC) learning, one is concerned with whether the sample complexity is polynomial, that is, whether (,,) is bounded by a polynomial in / and /. If N ( ρ , ϵ , δ ) {\displaystyle N(\rho ,\epsilon ,\delta )} is polynomial for some learning algorithm, then one says that the hypothesis space H {\displaystyle ...

  9. Prednisolone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prednisolone

    Prednisolone is a synthetic pregnane corticosteroid closely related to its cognate prednisone, having identical structure save for two fewer hydrogens near C 11. It is also known as δ 1-cortisol, δ 1-hydrocortisone, 1,2-dehydrocortisol, or 1,2-dehydrohydrocortisone, as well as 11β,17α,21-trihydroxypregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione. [50] [51]
