The ability to regulate LHR or FSHR signaling, particularly in pathological conditions involving receptors that contain either activating or inactivating mutations, is of considerable pharmacologic interest. Our group has explored aspects of this problem using biophysical methods and has addressed three problems. The first was to better evaluate conditions under which hLHRs signal in the absence of a bound ligand. Recent work using stable cell lines expressing physiologic numbers of hLHRs per cell (32 k LHR/cell) or overexpressing the receptor (122 k LHR/cell) suggests that constitutively active receptors produce maximum levels of intracellular cAMP particularly when receptors are expressed at high numbers when compared to otherwise untreated control cell populations (Figure 5). Thus, the extent of receptor aggregation is associated with receptor density on the cell surface; when there are comparatively few receptors on the cell surface, LHRs will aggregate in response to certain stimuli including hCG, whereas overexpressed LHRs are extensively aggregated and undergo little additional change in their aggregation state regardless of treatment. Anisotropy is a measure of the extent of receptor aggregation, and with increasing aggregation, values for anisotropy become smaller. When compared with cells expressing 32 k LHR/cell with cells that overexpress LHRs, there are significantly lower anisotropy values for overexpressed receptors, 122 k LHR/cell (lower panel) accompanied by significant increases in intracellular cAMP. Thus, when the LHRs are more extensively aggregated, intracellular cAMP levels are higher, and signaling has occurred in the absence of hormone.
Prior work from our group demonstrated that changes in AQP4 protein expression and localization are associated with Aβ and progression of tau pathology10,14. Based on this, we first evaluated the relationship between AQP4 gene expression and dementia status. When controlling for age, gender, APOε4 and traumatic brain injury status, there was a trend towards greater AQP4 expression in the HIP of individuals with dementia (t = 1.895, padj = 0.087), and no statistically significant differences in gene expression were observed across any of the four brain regions (Fig. 1A). We next assessed if transcript level expression of AQP4 is associated with Aβ and tau pathology. Consistent with previous findings, a significant positive association between AQP4 expression and Aβ1–42 concentration (t = 2.238, padj = 0.028) was observed in the PCX (Fig. 1B and Table 2). AQP4 expression was not significantly associated with markers of tau pathology in any region (Fig. 1C, Table 2).Figure 1Elevated AQP4 gene expression is associated with parietal cortical Aβ. (A) Expression levels of AQP4 were quantified across 4 brain regions, TCX, HIP, PCX, and FWM, in subjects with (blue, n = 57) and without (red, n = 50) dementia. Hippocampus demonstrates a trend towards elevated AQP4 in subjects with dementia (logistic regression, t = −0.947, padj = 0.087). (B) Significant associations between AQP4 expression with Aβ1–42 levels (center, OLS regression, t = 3.29, padj = 0.028), were detected in PCX. (C) No significant association between AQP4 expression and markers of tau pathology were detected in PCX. The bars in figure (A) represent the mean ± the standard deviation (S.D.). The line in figure (B) center represents the least squares (ordinary) fit for all data points that show a significant statistical association.Table 2Association of AQP4 and DAC gene expression with Alzheimer’s pathology.

While genome sequencing per se will undoubtedly present a driving force towards our understanding of vertebrate sex, we wish to point out that genome sequencing is only a starting point to comprehensively understand SD and sex evolution. For integrative research from here and far beyond, we propose to introduce the terms sexome (and sexomics; figure 2). As the sexome, we consider the information about an individual regarding its sexual differentiation, development and reproduction on all levels of biological organization. This includes the genomic and epigenetic information, the transcriptomes of the organs involved in these sex-specific processes. These organs comprise the gonads, secondary sex organs and characters, organs with a transcriptional sex-bias (e.g. brain, liver gene expression for yolk production, placenta, prostate), the respective proteomes as well as information about environmental factors that induce puberty and reproductive activity, maturation of gametes, etc., sexual behaviour, and finally the factors that determine fertility and the end of or transitions in reproduction (e.g. menopause). It should also include information on malfunction and impairment (e.g. teratology and endocrine disruption).
Original quote in Italian: “È come se nascesse un bambino, come se ci fosse una nuova, qualcuno ci parla di prima e dopo dell’esordio, come se prima dell’esordio fosse l’anno 0. L’esordio e da lì si riparte, c’è una nuova vita, tutto è cambiato e il tempo, la loro vita si distingue proprio su un prima e il dopo. Questo perché segna, è un momento che segna particolarmente”.
The final content of adjuvants in ready-to-use pesticide formulations is often more than 50% of the total product and often accounts for most of the price of the formulation . In this case, the application of DMD, TMD, and DDM at a concentration of 1 vol.% was sufficient to significantly enhance the effect of RoundUp® 360 Plus.
Bufferless routing yields significant network power savings with minimal performance loss when the network load is low-to-medium. In such bufferless NoCs, router area is reduced by 40–75% and power consumption is reduced by 20–40% [5, 6, 18]. However, for network-intensive workloads, bufferless routing behaves much worse than traditional buffered NoCs due to high deflections rates and bandwidth saturation.
A eutanásia dos animais foi realizada com uma combinação de cetamina (100 mg/kg) e xilazina (10 mg/kg), respectivamente, nos dias 0, 14 e 28 após o tratamento com LC. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas e os soros separados e armazenados a -20°C para utilização. O coração e o tecido adiposo visceral foram separados e mantidos a –70°C até a sua utilização.
For the APX assays after in vitro treatment, fruit samples were pre-incubated at 25 °C for 1 h with different compounds, including S-nitrosocysteine (CysNO, 5 mM) as the NO donor , and dithiothreitol (DTT, 5 mM), GSH (0–5 mM), and L-cysteine (L-Cys, 5 mM) as the reducing agents. Then, they were subjected to electrophoresis. Likewise, the treatment with SIN-1 was performed at 37 °C for 1 h . Additionally, to determine the thermal stability of APX activity, fruit samples were also pre-incubated at 95 °C for 5 min before electrophoresis.
Het is belangrijk om eerst inzicht te krijgen in de mate van onderdiagnostiek in zijn totaal, om vervolgens de mate van onderdiagnostiek voor diverse subgroepen in kaart te brengen. Inzichten in onderdiagnostiek voor de diverse tumorsoorten en regio’s kunnen bijvoorbeeld voorspellen waar er later een piek in het aantal diagnoses te verwachten is. Daarnaast kunnen we mogelijk ook lessen trekken voor de toekomst op basis van de genoemde factoren en andere factoren, zoals leeftijd.
As an alternative social space, the VHSNC proposed new physical configurations, particularly by inviting both genders to occupy a public sphere. Bringing together men and women for meetings was largely unprecedented; public meetings to resolve local problems were traditionally for men only. During our research, women explained that attending VHSNC meetings was difficult because of their domestic responsibilities but that they continued to attend nonetheless. Women consistently composed over 50% of meeting attendees, even if most rarely or never spoke. Physical presence is a crude measure of participation , but in this context, the VHSNC’s basic gender inclusiveness was a radical variation from established norms. In terms of caste dynamics, powerful VHSNC members, such as men and higher caste people, appeared to accept the involvement of lower-status people. This acceptance partially stemmed from the fact that the VHSNC did not enable access to significant power and money. A higher caste woman said that her VHSNC allowed a marginalized (scheduled caste) woman to participate only because the facilitator insisted and because “it’s not like anyone is getting a salary for this” (Shadeeka, female, other Hindu, IDI_VHC_25). Nonetheless, most respondents strongly endorsed the need to include men and women, as well as representatives from all caste and religious communities.
Segmentation was based on a threshold intensity method, set at 2 standard deviations greater than the mean pixel intensity in the whole image (Figure 1). The user-interface requirements were to exclude the background and the very bright superficial subcutaneous tissue and to identify the centre of the vessel from where the measurements of PVAT will be obtained.
Portable fencing made from multiple electric fencing strand, wire netting or mesh and portable panels may be suitable when permanent fencing is not appropriate . It can be used in open pastures and can be useful in emergency situations or during periods of increased risk, though it is not as long-lasting or as strong as the fencing for permanent pastures . Solar-powered electric fences work well at protecting beehives from bears .
The elevated plus maze (EPM) is commonly used to assess anxiety-related behavior. Here, we conducted the EPM in accordance with a previously described protocol 37. The EPM in this study had two open arms and two enclosed arms, connected by a central platform (5 × 5 cm). Thirty min after a CNO injection, mice were placed on the central platform facing an open arm and allowed to freely explore for 5 min. In inhibitors group, NBQX (1 µl/side) and D-AP5 (0.5 µl/side) were administrated 30 min before a CNO injection. The number of entries to the arms and the time spent on the arms were separately measured (Figure 6A~E).

Considering total consumption of care and medical goods (which came to 191 billion euro in 2014) public intervention covers 78 % of expenditure. The remaining 22 % is covered by optional health insurance (13.5 %) and by patients themselves (8.5 %) . The management of the public cover is not done by the state, but like others European systems, based on the Bismarck model, by the social security bodies. Unlike the UK and Nordic countries, it is based on a set of social security funds managed by social partners.6
Diarrheal disease accounts for 1 in 9 child deaths and is among the leading causes of death among children under five years of age [1, 2]. Campylobacter jejuni is a common foodborne pathogen and one of the leading causes of infectious diarrhea worldwide . C. jejuni is also associated with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare but potentially life-threatening autoimmune condition, as well as less severe but more common long-term sequelae, including reactive arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome [4–6].
Univariate analysis using the Cox regression model showed a significant difference in the median survival time about age (HR = 1.05, 95%CI = 1.00–1.11, P < .01). Univariate analysis using the Cox regression model showed a significant difference in the median survival time between the triple-negative breast cancer group and the other subtype group without exclusion (HR = 8.14, 95% CI = 1.78–37.2, P < .01), and with exclusion (HR = 7.20, 95% CI = 1.58–32.9, P < .01) of the three patients requiring special consideration of classification (Table 2), There were no significant differences between the groups in other factors.
Matka: W związku z faktem, że największe ryzyko wystąpienia ciężkich powikłań zakażenia CMV u płodu jest związane z zakażeniem pierwotnym u matki, głównym celem diagnostyki wrodzonych zakażeń CMV jest potwierdzenie lub wykluczenie tego zakażenia u ciężarnej. Najpewniejszą metodą potwierdzenia jest stwierdzenie serokonwersji, czyli wykrycie swoistych przeciwciał u uprzednio seronegatywnej ciężarnej. Obecność swoistych przeciwciał w klasie IgM potwierdza aktualne lub niedawno przebyte zakażenie. Przeciwciała tej klasy utrzymują się zwykle 3-6 miesięcy, a czasem powyżej 12 miesięcy od momentu zakażenia. W takim przypadku pomocnym jest oznaczenie awidności przeciwciał IgG. Przeciwciała IgG produkowane w wyniku pierwotnego zakażenia mają niską siłę wiązania antygenu (niską awidność). W miarę rozwoju zakażenia, po około 20 tygodniach, powyżej 60% przeciwciał wykazuje już wysoką awidność . Zatem metoda ta służy do różnicowania zakażenia pierwotnego i wtórnego oraz pomocna jest w sytuacjach długotrwałego utrzymywania się swoistych IgM lub wyników fałszywie dodatnich. Należy jednocześnie wspomnieć o możliwym fenomenie utrzymywania się niskiej awidności powyżej 18 tygodni, co przy przetrwaniu IgM lub fałszywie dodatnim wyniku IgM, może skutkować błędnym rozpoznaniem zakażenia pierwotnego .
Sowohl Männer als auch Frauen werden durch die steigende weibliche Erwerbsbeteiligung vor neue Herausforderungen im Haushalts- und Familienkontext gestellt. Das klassische Modell mit männlichem Alleinernährer und weiblicher Familienarbeiterin kann heute im Allgemeinen nur noch wenig soziale Akzeptanz verbuchen (vgl. Diabaté 2015; Beck-Gernsheim 1983). Doch gerade Frauen dürften kritischer mit dem traditionellen Geschlechterrollenleitbild umgehen, welches als Relikt aus der Zeit der Hausfrauenehe Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts angesehen werden kann und gewissermaßen eine „naturrechtliche Begründung“ (Meier-Gräwe 2015, S. 4) für nicht entlohnte Verantwortlichkeiten im Haushalt und in der Familie impliziert (vgl. Brines 1994). Denn die tatsächliche Aufteilung der alltäglichen Zuständigkeiten in der Familie erfolgt häufig zum Nachteil der Frauen (vgl. Dechant et al. 2014). Die mögliche negative Assoziation mit der Hausfrauenrolle, das vermehrte Streben nach Erwerbsarbeit und Karriere sowie nach Emanzipation und (finanzieller) Unabhängigkeit führt, so unsere Annahme, zu einer geringeren Ansehensbewertung von Hausfrauen beim weiblichen Geschlecht. Für Männer dagegen ist Erwerbsarbeit schon lange Normalität und die Arbeit der Frau im Haushalt ist für sie nicht mit den genannten Problemen und Anerkennungsdefiziten behaftet, sondern stellt sogar eine Entlastung dar und könnte daher stärker wertgeschätzt werden.
Miocardite pode estar relacionada a falência cardíaca aguda nos pacientes com COVID-19. Foram descritos casos de miocardite relacionada à COVID-19, como miocardite fulminante, de rápida evolução e disfunção ventricular importante, associada a edema miocárdico difuso. Alterações eletrocardiográficas e elevação de troponina estavam presentes nesses pacientes.14 , 18 , 19 Apesar de não haver relato de ST diretamente relacionada à COVID-19, postula-se que alguns casos de disfunção ventricular nesses pacientes possam decorrer dessa síndrome. A ST é complicação frequente em indivíduos com resposta inflamatória sistêmica exacerbada, funcionando o estresse e a gravidade da infecção viral como gatilho para a ST.20
Según la clasificación de Sarnat, la encefalopatía hipóxica del paciente fue grave (Sarnat III), pues en los primeros tres días posteriores al nacimiento, el niño presentó convulsiones, hipotonía global y ausencia de reflejos primitivos (2). En los exámenes iniciales de laboratorio, se reportó acidosis metabólica en sangre del cordón umbilical, con pH de 6,94, PCO2 de 28,4 mm Hg, PO2 de 214,3 mm Hg saturación del 98,8%, HCO2 de 6,6 mm Hg y exceso de base de -26,4 mEq/L. En el ionograma, se reportaron concentraciones de fósforo de 5 mg/dl, de potasio de 5 mmol/L, de magnesio de 1,8 mg/dl, de calcio de 8,8 mg/dl, de amonio de 41 mg/dl, y de ácido láctico de 6,3 mmol/L. Se detectó alteración en las pruebas de coagulación (TPT=76 s y TP=17 s), así como transaminasas elevadas (ALT=86 U/L; AST=207 U/L) e hiperglucemia (336 mg/dl).
A MAPA 24h usada para diagnóstico e acompanhamento da hipertensão fornece informações sobre a presença de pressão dipper e não-dipper.2 Em nosso estudo, 76,1% dos pacientes com DPOC apresentaram o padrão pressórico não-dipper. Nersesyan et al. verificaram que a taxa do padrão pressórico não-dipper em pacientes com DPOC foi de 72,7%.15 No estudo realizado por Aidar et al.,8 o descenso na pressão noturna foi superior a 10%, em relação à pressão diurna, no grupo controle saudável, enquanto o valor médio da pressão noturna em pacientes com DPOC foi inferior a 10%, em relação à pressão diurna.8 Embora os dados de frequência não tenham sido compartilhados no estudo de Aidar et al.,8 entende-se que a queda da pressão arterial noturna era insuficiente em pacientes com DPOC. A presença de processos inflamatórios com base em ambas as condições pode explicar a associação entre a pressão não-dipper e a DPOC. No entanto, os efeitos de cada fator um sobre o outro ainda não são claros.8 Neste estudo, os níveis de PCR foram mais altos entre os indivíduos com padrão pressórico não-dipper. Um estudo anterior conduzido por Kaya et al.11 apresentou o mesmo achado, onde os valores de PCR foram mais altos em pacientes com padrão não-dipper, em comparação com pacientes com o padrão dipper.11 Estudos prévios têm demonstrado que a pressão não-dipper diminui o número de células progenitoras endoteliais, interrompe os mecanismos de reparo vascular e a homeostase endotelial e conseqüentemente induz a inflamação, aumentando a expressão de citocinas endoteliais.5 Em nosso estudo, sugerimos que os níveis mais elevados de PCR em indivíduos com padrão pressórico não-dipper foram causados por mecanismos semelhantes.

The primary purpose of the package is, of course, tile-based quality control. Often there are patterns in the errors generated during the Solexa sequencing process that become visible when the physical locations of a tile's reads are plotted in colors and sizes that depend upon the category to which they have been assigned by Eland. For this purpose, the tileQC package contains functions that are optimized to create such qualitative displays. The visual representation appears on the left and a relative frequency histogram of the number of reads in each Eland category for that tile appears to the right. The researcher may select which categories of read are to be displayed, and even filter the unique reads based upon whether they match the forward strand, the reverse strand, or either. The homogeneity of the Solexa process ensures that, when the machine is functioning properly, the relative frequencies are similar from tile to tile and distributed uniformly across each tile. Major discrepancies in these conditions are immediately discerned by sight.
The site-specific composition and the stability of populations observed here over the different visits at most of the sampling areas suggest a persistent colonization of the slaughterhouse by the four dominant genera from Moraxellaceae family. These observations were supported by the analysis of composition of these genera at the OTUs level (Fig. S1) showing that only 1 or 2 persistent OTUs are found along the slaughter line and for the different sampling dates for the Psychrobacter, Enhydrobacter or Moraxella genera. Survival of bacteria in industries is mostly related to their ability to form biofilms on surfaces exhibiting high tolerance to biocidal treatments48. Therefore, it should be interesting to analyze biofilm formation and associated biocide resistance of these resident strains to better understand the mechanisms underlying their persistence in the slaughterhouse.

Statistical differences between each timepoint were determined using a one-way analysis of variance for repeated measures and Turkey’s post hoc multiple comparisons test.
Das stationäre Aufnahmemanagement unter Pandemiekautelen umfasst sowohl fußläufige Patientinnen als auch solche, die vom Rettungsdienst oder im Rahmen von Zuverlegungen aus anderen Krankenhäusern eingeliefert werden. Dies stellt die aufnehmenden Bereiche, darunter häufig die zentralen Notaufnahmen, vor große Herausforderungen, diejenigen Patientinnen zu identifizieren, die möglicherweise eine symptomlose Besiedelung mit SARS-CoV‑2 aufweisen, möglicherweise bereits an COVID-19 erkrankt sind oder als unkritisch im Sinne einer „Coronaerkrankung“ angesehen werden können. Während die Einschätzung von Patientinnen, bei denen respiratorische Symptome zum Aufsuchen der Notaufnahme führen, vergleichsweise klar vorgegeben ist, stellen Patientinnen, die aufgrund einer Verletzung oder einer anderen Erkrankung zur Aufnahme kommen, eine größere Herausforderung dar, um eine Komorbidität hinsichtlich COVID-19 oder asymptomatischer Besiedelung mit SARS-CoV‑2 auszuschließen. Entsprechend kann das Aufnahmeprozedere in drei Phasen eingeteilt werden:Erstsichtung: Gibt es offenkundige Hinweise für eine COVID-19-Problematik ? Diese zunächst grobe Einteilung bedingt den weiteren Erstweg der Patientinnen innerhalb der Aufnahmeeinheit im COVID- oder Nicht-COVID-Bereich. Insbesondere für die Aufnahmen via Notfallaufnahme sind parallel die allgemeinen Kriterien von Behandlungsdringlichkeit und -aufwand bei der Ressourcenplanung zu berücksichtigen, z. B.: Reicht ein Untersuchungs- oder Behandlungsraum oder ist ein Schockraum vonnöten?Je nach Zustand der Patientinnen, den jeweiligen föderalen Vorschriften, lokalen Labor- und Raumkapazitäten und Fortschreiten der technischen Diagnostikmöglichkeiten kann ergänzend zur primären COVID-Entscheidung eine Schnelltestung mit Zwischenquarantänisierung innerhalb der Aufnahmeeinheit treten. Dabei ist kritisch anzumerken, dass je nach weiterem Verlauf der Pandemie aufgrund der Mengenverhältnisse zwischen COVID- und Nicht-COVID-Patient*innen der Zuverlässigkeit von Schnelltests insbesondere hinsichtlich falsch-negativer Befunde eine enorme Bedeutung zukommen wird. Andernfalls steht zu befürchten, dass insbesondere bei ausgelasteten Ressourcen (=Einsatz auch unerfahrener Beschäftigter) sich auf eine trügerische Sicherheit verlassen wird und dem folgenden Punkt weniger Beachtung geschenkt wird.Die erweiterte ärztliche Anamneseerhebung, körperliche Untersuchung und ggf. apparative Diagnostik, z. B. CT Thorax [2, 3], muss dann zu einer bereits verfeinerten Arbeitsdiagnose führen, die den weiteren Weg außerhalb der Aufnahmeeinheit bedingt.
Ни у одного из пациентов с артериальной гипертензией не отмечалось гипергликемии, патологических изменений креатинина, СКФ, ренина, калия, натрия, хлорида крови, альдостерона, отсутствовали нарушения сердечного ритма, альбуминурия, патологические изменения на ЭКГ, а также признаки изменений сосудов глазного дна. У 2 пациентов отмечался избыток массы тела (ИМТ 24,2 и 29,2 кг/м2), который у последнего из них сопровождался дислипидемией (ХС 5,9 ммоль/л, ЛПНП 3,9 ммоль/л, ЛПВП 1,4 ммоль/л, ТГ 1,3 ммоль/л) и гиперурикемией (мочевая кислота 735 мкмоль/л). Еще у одного пациента с нормальной массой тела также отмечалась дислипидемия (ХС 5,3 ммоль/л, ЛПНП 3,6 ммоль/л, ЛПВП 1,0 ммоль/л, ТГ 1,4 ммоль/л). Таким образом, диагноз у 7 пациентов соответствовал Гипертонической болезни 1 стадии. Степень АГ 1. Умеренный риск (Риск 2). И у одного пациента — Гипертонической болезни 1 стадии. Степень АГ 1. Умеренно-высокий риск (Риск 2-3).

Tuft cells, also known as brush cells, present as a fraction of small intestinal and respiratory tract epithelial cells and are responsible for sensing the microflora (Bezencon et al. 2008; Howitt et al. 2016). The location of Tuft cells as intestinal epithelial and respiratory tract, tracheal cells means that they will have direct contact with the parasites and microflora in the lumen of the gut and in respired air and therefore may contribute to homeostasis (Parfrey et al. 2014). These cells mediate type 2 immunity and are thought to recognize parasites. Some aspects of the glycobiology of Tuft cells have been examined (Gebhard and Gebert 1999), but there are no recent studies using modern methods. Furthermore, examination across the different phylogenetic groups comprising the Eukaryotes is only partly complete. These remain important aims to improve our understanding of cellular biology at all mucosal surfaces.
La evaluación realizada se diseñó meticulosamente asegurando que las preguntas no contuvieran sesgos de interpretación y que los contenidos fueran los que realmente se pretendieron evaluar. El análisis de los datos, en el que ninguna variable fue predictora de los resultados, pone de manifiesto que los participantes respondieron al cuestionario dejando de lado las situaciones sociales y emocionales que les pudieran afectar. Por último, las características de los participantes fueron muy similares a las del total de confinados, como muestran los resultados de edad media de 47 años (45 en el total de profesionales confinados) y el elevado porcentaje de mujeres el 81,8% (78,8% en el total de profesionales confinados)9.
Grain size analysis defines the sedimentary environment characteristic with a series of particle size distributions. The analysis was conducted to characterize the continuous distribution from small particles to many millimeters of sediment fractions. Dry sieving and wet sieving methods were used in the measurement of sand and silt-clay fraction, respectively, following the method by Holme and McIntyre . The method involves a splitting process of sediment (30 g) into different grades of sand (very coarse sand: 1000 μm; coarse sand: 500 μm; medium sand: 250 μm; fine sand: 125 μm; very fine sand: 63 μm) and silt-clay fraction (particle size <63 μm). Udden-Wentworth's [22, 23] grade scale was used to determine fraction characteristics.
List of parishes (clusters) were obtained from the planning department in Masindi district and 21 of them were randomly selected using computer-generated random numbers. At the parish level, local council leaders guided research assistants to households with lactating women having children less than five months old because we did not have a documented list of women of reproductive age nor did we have a list of women who had delivered. Structured interviews were held with consenting women in their homes. Where a household had two or more lactating women, only one was randomly enrolled. Data collected included socio-demographic characteristics, previous obstetric history and history of last pregnancy, immediate newborn care practices and immediate postnatal care-seeking practices in case of neonatal illness (see Additional file 1). Three primary outcome variables were considered of interest- cord care, thermal care and newborn vaccination status. None of the eligible mothers contacted declined participation.
Aphidura graeca sp. n. lives on Gypsophila, as does Aphidura gypsophilae, and also Aphidura pannonica, which has been above recorded on this plant-genus for first time. The distinctive features of Aphidura graeca are summarized in the identification key to apterae of Aphidura in the general discussion and in the following modification to the key to aphids on Gypsophila (Blackman and Eastop 2006), to include Aphidura graeca and Aphidura pannonica, and also Aphidura naimanica and Aphidura togaica, which have recently been described (Kadyrbekov 2013):
Genes associated with schizophrenia that are implicated in NMDA-receptor function and its interaction with modulatory neurotransmitter systems. Genes with high evidence – genome-wide significance or identified as the relevant gene in a common schizophrenia-associated duplication or deletion – are shown in dark green. Genes with less evidence – replication in two association and/or linkage studies in two different populations, or carrying a rare or de novo deleterious mutation in a patient – are shown in light green. The gene products and functions of these genes are listed in Table 1.
Whole blood was drawn from a single male donor (to limit donor heterogeneity for sequencing) with sodium heparin, treated with 3% dextran, and then washed at 500g for 5 min. Red blood cells were lysed with H20 for 30 seconds followed by staining with CD66b PE (Thermo Fisher) and CD16 APC (Thermo Fisher). Cells were sorted using a BD FACSAria. Cells were then plated at a density of 150,000 cells per well. Wells rested for one hour and were then treated with platelet releasate (1:2 dilution) for four hours. Positive control wells were treated with PMA (250nM) or Ionomycin (2.5ug/ml). All experiments were performed in duplicates. After four hours of treatment the supernatant was removed for NETosis capture ELISA.
Most countries (78%) in the GEDI domain have higher AGC stocks in PAs compared to counterfactuals. The top 20 countries in terms of PA effectiveness at preserving carbon (Fig. 3) are either (a) geographically large, (b) host forests with high AGC, and/or (c) have high forest loss rates of unprotected forests (Fig. 4). Many of the top 20 countries fall in tropical dense forested areas such as the Amazon (Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia), the Congo Basin (DRC), or Southeast Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia). Outside the tropics, highly ranked countries tend to be geographically large (Australia, USA, Chile, France, Spain), or clustered in Eastern or Southern Africa, where our results show biggest impacts outside of forests (Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia).Fig. 3In the top 20 countries with the most carbon-effective PAs, most AGC remain unprotected.The top 20 countries in total PA additionally preserved AGC, ranked by total national AGC (A) and the proportion of national AGC stored in PAs (B). More than half of the national AGC have protected status for six countries, while most AGC does not have protected status for the remaining 14.Fig. 4PA carbon effectiveness by country.Nationally aggregated additionally preserved AGC (A) is a function of the national total stored GEDI AGBD in PAs (B), the average C effectiveness of PAs in a country (difference between PA AGC and matched unprotected AGC, C), and the total PA area per country (D). World base map made with Natural Earth.
Table 4 shows respondents’ viewpoints according to geographic region. Individuals living in the South were the least supportive of frequent inspection of laboratories (75% compared to ≥80% in remaining regions). However, the proportion of individuals that were against inspection was similar across regions (13% to 16%). This difference reflects indifferent or undecided respondents in the South. Support to the use of animals for vaccine development and in research that may contribute, even if indirectly, to find a cure for diseases was greater among individuals living in the Northeast Region or in urban areas relative to their respective counterparts (other regions or metropolitan areas). Use of animals in basic science was more strongly opposed by respondents living in the Southeast (45% compared to 40% in favor), whereas individuals living in the remaining regions were more in favor of than opposed to this practice. Use of animals in wet lab sessions also enjoyed greater support in the South, Northeast and North/Midwest (≥44%) relative to the Southeast (39%) Region. Opposition to this practice was lowest among individuals living in the South (38%) compared to other regions and lower among individuals residing in urban compared to metropolitan areas (43% and 47%, respectively).
A importante ausência de dados das consultas médicas da ESF no SIA/SUS não permitiu estender a avaliação para os meses anteriores a abril de 2013. A definição do último mês da série, setembro de 2015, levou em consideração o período de dois anos de vigência do programa, a partir do recorte temporal estabelecido.
Maternal occupational exposure was adjusted for family history of congenital anomalies, maternal age, maternal education, parity, past abortion, maternal body mass index, gestational or pregestational diabetes, gestational or pregestational hypertension, maternal smoking, and periconceptional folic acid intake
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs of 18–25 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression by binding to the 3′-untranslated region(3′-UTR) of their target mRNAs, resulting in mRNA degradation and/or inhibition of mRNA translation5. miRNAs regulate the expression of more than 30% of human genes, which implies they play key roles in many biological function6. It was reported that a number of miRNAs have been identified as predictors of the clinical outcome in pancreatic adenocarcinoma7. However, due to the small patient number, limited number of miRNAs investigated, or different miRNA-chip platform, the studies lacked a normalized standard. Therefore, a larger patient cohort and normalization controls, as well as a standard protocol for more specific prognostic classifiers, are warranted.
De daling is voor vrijwel alle tumorsoorten te zien (fig. 2), met de duidelijkste dalingen voor huid- en borstkanker. Voor de meeste lokalisaties neemt het aantal diagnoses in de loop van de periode weer toe, al lijkt dit minder het geval voor borstkanker, bot/kraakbeen- en wekedelenkanker, en kanker van de mannelijke geslachtsorganen. Kankers met een hogere mate van risico op levensbedreigende situaties door uitgestelde diagnose, zoals bij luchtwegen, hoofd-hals en hematologie, laten ook een aanzienlijke daling zien.
Termenul de vezică neurogenă înglobează tulburările de stocare și evacuare vezicală, apărute după lezarea parţială sau completă a integrităţii centrilor și căilor nervoase la nivel superior centrului micțiunii de la nivelul S2-S4, corespunzând vertebrelor T12-L1, sau periferic. Astfel, se întâlnește în leziuni sau infecții medulare, scleroză multiplă, accidente vasculare, tumori, sindrom Parkinson, boala Alzheimer sau alte demențe etc. Leziunile situate deasupra acestui nivel antrenează spasticitatea, iar cele situate sub acest nivel determină paralizia flască.
The degree to which PC score of individual animal within a vet camp was similar was examined by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and its 95% confidence interval for the first four PCs. The one-sided F test was conducted to examine if the derived ICCs were significantly different from 0. The score on PC1 and PC3 for individual animals were more similar within vet camps and there were greater variations between animals in different camps.
A tabela 2 apresenta os valores das variáveis antropométricas e bioquímicas, em relação ao percentual de gordura corporal. Para todas as variáveis, foram encontrados maiores valores nos adolescentes com excesso de gordura corporal, com exceção da glicose, do ácido úrico e da pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), os quais apresentaram maiores valores nos adolescentes sem excesso de gordura corporal.
① 将患者术前胸部CT三维图像传输至ENB系统，建立相应的虚拟支气管树，在模拟图像中对可疑病灶的位置及大小进行标记。确认规划路径后，将患者置于仰卧位，于单腔气管插管全身麻醉下，通过EWC置入LG完成注册后撤出纤维支气管镜和LG；②将单腔气管导管更换为双腔支气管导管，在便携式纤维支气管镜和实时导航监测下，按照规划路径将LG推进到计划位置，此时记录LG探头与病灶之间的方向和距离，在确定两者相对位置后，将LG固定在相应支气管入口处，撤出便携式纤维支气管镜（图 1A）；③将患者置于健侧卧位，此过程中注意保持LG位置固定，然后实行单肺通气，采用胸腔镜进行手术操作，由助手轻推LG，使脏层胸膜表面形成“帐篷”样突起，使用电刀标记（图 1B）。移除LG后，由于术侧肺塌陷以及LG对肺组织的刚性作用，术者能够准确地进行病灶及周围肺组织楔形切除术。移除标本，进行快速冰冻病理检查，根据冰冻病理结果和患者情况，决定是否继续进行腔镜下解剖性肺切除术加系统性淋巴结清扫术。
A further question concerns reality testing. Hallucinations in schizophrenia have been linked to impaired reality monitoring (ie, the ability to distinguish an event as externally perceived or internally generated), based on source-monitoring experiments.107 However, to our knowledge, no such research has been conducted among experiencers of SED. A related definition of reality testing, concerning whether a perception is recognized as “true” or “false,” sometimes marked by the distinction between hallucination and pseudohallucination, has been discussed in relation to SED, where impaired reality testing has been observed in a few cases.19 However, it is questionable whether this distinction is sufficiently sensitive to the full diversity of SED, particularly in light of the impact of culture and belief on the interpretation of these experiences (eg, belief in an afterlife).11,60 Similar concerns could be raised about hallucinations in psychosis. For example, “voices” outside of bereavement are sometimes experienced as occurring in a subtly different reality that overlaps with consensus reality; they are “real,” but not in quite the same way as the voice of someone next to the hearer.72,108 Hence, more nuanced distinctions may be needed to accommodate the complexity and heterogeneity of both phenomena64,70. Research using the concept of “mundane” reality testing70 (eg, everyday actions someone might perform in response to a voice, such as checking if someone is standing behind them) suggests preserved reality testing in SED, in the sense that the experiencer knows the deceased has died, and that others may not share their experiences of the deceased.60,64 Future research may explore this question using a variety of methodologies, eg, testing continuum models of psychosis.109
En la categoría de enfermedades tropicales desatendidas, Cauca se considera un departamento con baja incidencia de mordeduras de serpientes en los boletines epidemiológicos semanales del Sistema de Vigilancia en Salud Pública (Sivigila) del Instituto Nacional de Salud de los últimos años 16-18. No obstante, no es posible asegurar que esta enfermedad tropical desatendida de categoría A, catalogada así por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en el 2017 19, realmente tenga baja incidencia en el departamento. Si bien los casos reportados al Sivigila han aumentado, no todos los accidentes son atendidos en los centros hospitalarios e, incluso cuando así sucede, no siempre son reportados, por lo cual el acumulado anual puede ser mucho mayor.
Outros achados adicionais relevantes são incluídos de forma sucinta na sequência, destacando-se a presença ou não de linfonodomegalias, existência ou não de derrame pleural, bem como achados como nódulos pulmonares, enfisema, intersticiopatia crônica, aneurismas e ateromatose significativa.
Brains were processed and stained according to standard procedures. Briefly, brains of inside-out larvae were fixed for 30 min in 4% methanol-free formaldehyde (ThermoScientific, 28908) at room temperature, washed in PBS 3 × 10 min and permeabilised in PBS-Triton 0.3% for 3 × 10 min. Brains were incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C in blocking solution (PBS-Triton 0.3%, Bovine Serum Albumin 5%, Normal Goat Serum 2%) for 18–36 h, then washed with PBS-Triton 0.3% and incubated with secondary antibodies 18–24 h at 4 °C in blocking solution, and washed with PBS-Triton 0.3%. The same protocol was used for Drosophila adult CNS, using PBS-Triton 1% instead of 0.3%.
In this study, we demonstrate that depletion of SOX1 is responsible for the malignant phenotype of NPC. We show that recovery of SOX1 expression leads to a down-regulation of β-catenin that is independent of proteasomal activity. These new data show that SOX1 decreases β-catenin activity and reverses the malignant phenotype of NPC.
Eine Analyse der oben genannten Bevölkerungsbefragung ergab, dass die Impfbereitschaft mit einem COVID-19-Vakzin mit dem Alter steigt, eine erhöhte und unrealistische Wahrnehmung schwerwiegender Nebenwirkungen von Impfungen mit sinkender Impfbereitschaft einhergeht, bei der individuellen Risikoeinschätzung einer Erkrankung mit COVID-19 Unsicherheiten bestehen, da über die Hälfte der Befragten die langfristigen Konsequenzen einer COVID-19-Erkrankung nur schwer einschätzen kann, und Personen mit hohen Zustimmungswerten zu (impf‑)verschwörungstheoretischen Aussagen eine niedrige Impfbereitschaft zeigen. Ein Viertel der Impfablehnenden sagt, dass sie nicht glauben, dass das Coronavirus gefährlich für sie sei . Am häufigsten nennen sie, ebenso wie Befragte anderer Studien , die Sorge vor Nebenwirkungen.
Unzulängliche Wiedereingliederungspolitik: Die geringe Wirksamkeit der Reintegration von ehemaligen und nun demobilisierten Guerillakämpferinnen hat oft zur Rückkehr in den Krieg und zur Beteiligung an gewalttätigen Aktivitäten beigetragen. Nach Angaben der New York Times sind bis Mitte 2019 mindestens 3000 ehemalige Kämpferinnen in den bewaffneten Kampf zurückgekehrt (Casey 2019). Unter dem Slogan der „unerfüllten Versprechen“ kritisierten demobilisierte Mitglieder der FARC die Wiedereingliederungspolitik, die durch den fehlenden Zugang zu öffentlichen und finanziellen Dienstleistungen, Wohnraum, Nahrung und wirtschaftlichen Möglichkeiten in Verbindung mit schlechten sanitären Bedingungen gekennzeichnet ist. Das Fehlen konkreter Pläne für den Wiedereingliederungsprozess kann die Beteiligung der FARC am Friedensprozess insgesamt erschweren. Und auch wenn dies nicht der Hauptfaktor für die Zunahme der Gewalt ist, hat die Problematik der mangelhaften Wiedereingliederung doch in mehreren Fällen zur Desertion und zur Wiederaufnahme illegaler Aktivitäten geführt (Schrimp 2018, S. 8).
The frequency distribution difference between the younger adolescent age group and the older adolescent age group for monocular near accommodative facility is shown in Figure 2. There was a significant association between the distribution of accommodative facility and age groups (χ2 = 6.82, df = 2, p = 0.03). 59.1% of younger adolescents and 34.7% of older adolescents had a monocular near accommodative facility between 0–6 cpm; 34.1% of younger adolescents and 52% of older adolescents had a facility of greater than 6 and up to 12 cpm, and only 6.8% of younger adolescents and 13.3% of older adolescents had a facility of more than 12 and up to 18 cpm. Accommodative facility of 0–6 cpm was more common in younger adolescents than older adolescents.

Dla przykładu w Holandii pierwszą, zindywidualizowaną informację na temat narodowego programu szczepień, rodzice dziecka otrzymują bezpośrednio od położnej odwiedzającej ich w domu, gdy noworodek kończy drugi tydzień życia. Informacja ta jest ponawiana przez właściwe centrum opieki medycznej drogą mailową, gdy dziecko ma 4-6 tygodni. Jego rodzice otrzymują wtedy broszurę z wykazem szczepionek, informacje o chorobach zakaźnych wieku dziecięcego, aktualny program szczepień, informację na temat efektów ubocznych szczepień oraz wskazanie strony internetowej Narodowego Instytutu Zdrowia Publicznego i Środowiska (RIVM). Gdy dziecko kończy 8 tygodni, jego rodzice odwiedzają wraz z nim właściwe centrum opieki pediatrycznej na pierwszej wizycie szczepiennej związanej ze sprawdzeniem stanu zdrowia dziecka. Pomimo to niektórzy holenderscy rodzice twierdzą, że nie uzyskali wystraczających informacji na temat ubocznych efektów szczepień .
The physical examination and anthropometric measurements were conducted in the hospital. A combined wall-mounted stadiometer and metric balance scale (NAGATA K-100/P-100) was used to assess the participants’ body height and weight without shoes to the nearest 0.5 cm and 0.1 kg, respectively. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as body weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2). After the participants had been seated quietly and rested for 5 min, trained personnel measured the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of each student in duplicate on the right arm by using an automated sphygmomanometer (Terumo ES-P2000).
There are several strengths to our work. Firstly, to our knowledge this is the first study to investigate that metabolic abnormality might be present in those with PEs, and that it may be linked to immune activation. Secondly, the ALSPAC cohort provided the opportunity to conduct analyses on a relatively large and well characterized cohort and permitted longitudinal analyses. Thirdly, we were able to consider detailed potential confounders and minimize possible reverse causality secondary to the use of antipsychotic medication.
Most cross-sectional studies have shown serum magnesium levels are lower in OC users compared to both nonusers and women on other forms of contraception , with one exception . An increase in the blood calcium to magnesium ratio due to low magnesium levels can influence blood coagulation processes . Indeed, a systematic review and network meta-analysis of 26 observational studies that investigated the risk of venous thrombosis for different combined OCs concluded OC use increased the risk of venous thrombosis, and effect size depended on the combination used .
The authors mentioned that there were four practice trials for each of the computer tasks (page 10 line 8), but it is unclear whether there were four practice trials for addition problems and four practice trials for multiplication problems, or there was a total of four practice trials in the arithmetic computer task. Were the practice trials in block 1, block 2, or both? Were the practice trials included in the accuracy and response time measures of task performance? Similar questions need to be addressed for the spelling task.
Although we observed significant negative correlation/association of mtDNA methylation with mitochondrial gene expression, from our analysis, we could not rule out the nuclear effects on mitochondrial DNA methylation and gene expression. However, van der Wijst et al. (2017) have concluded direct causal effects of mtDNA methylation (through mitochondria targeting of bacterial or viral DNA methyltransferases) in the GpC, but not CpG context on mitochondrial gene expression, which supports our conclusion (Supplemental Information).
A total of 33 pediatric autopsy cases (16 males and 17 females) aged 0–12 years (median, 0 years) was investigated. The case details are provided in Table 7. The number of cases of respiratory infections was 24, of which 11 were viral infections and 13 were bacterial infections. The following non-infection cases were investigated as controls: 2 cases of drowning; 2 cases of hyperthermia (heat stroke); 2 cases of fire fatality; 1 case of asphyxia; 1 case of acute circulation failure; and 1 case of blunt force injury. The following cases were excluded from the present study: cases of chronic infections (e.g., chronic hepatitis), cases of malignant tumors, cases of blood dyscrasia (e.g., leukemia), and cases prescribed any steroid known to be associated with low IgA levels from the perspective of clinical medicine. We performed PCR tests, cultures for identifying bacteria and viruses, and biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations to distinguish among these infection groups. The non-infectious group was also confirmed to be free of infections by various viral and bacterial tests and histopathological examinations. These results were used to identify the group with infectious diseases. When multiple bacteria were detected, the main cause of death was considered one or several of them. However, since it is difficult to identify only one specific bacteria as the cause of death from an autopsy case, bacteria for which the bacteriologic culture examination results were indistinguishable from the bacteria found on micro-morphological examination of the lungs in the autopsy cases have been indicated with red lines and red words. Blood in the right heart was collected and centrifuged to obtain serum before tests were performed.
Fig. 1 illustrates the complete experimental system employed for ASRA gene discovery based on congenic p53-null (SYM), p53-inducible (ASYM), and c-IMPDH II (p53SYM) cell lines all grown in Zn-supplemented medium for 48 hours (i.e., 2 cell generations; see Materials and Methods). Based on this design, ASRA genes were defined as those whose expression was up-regulated or down-regulated in the ASYM state with respect to the SYM and p53SYM states, which were required to have similar expression levels. When a gene's expression is different in the ASYM state compared to the SYM, the change could be due to induced p53 expression per se, the acquisition of the ASYM state, down-regulation of IMPDH II, or any combination of these three known effects. A p53-responsive gene that does not require asymmetric self-renewal for its change will show a similar expression change in the p53SYM state. The same is true for IMPDH II-responsive genes that do not require the asymmetric self-renewal state. This is because IMPDH II expression in the p53SYM state is also elevated with respect to the SYM state . In contrast, ASRA genes show lesser or no change in the p53SYM state (i.e., their expression level will be similar in SYM and p53SYM states), because, in principle, their change also requires acquisition of the state of asymmetric self-renewal.
I dati attuali indicano che i pazienti sopravvissuti a SARS-Cov mostrano, entro 3 mesi–15 anni di follow-up, ipocortisolismo (40%), sindrome da fatica cronica (20–40%) e artrite da osteonecrosi avascolare subcondrale (10%) , supportando l’idea che l’infezione da SARS-Cov-2 possa indurre una risposta immuno-neuroendocrina (corticosurrenalica e simpato-linfoide) deficitaria. Le basi storiche di questo tipo di risposta sono rintracciabili nell’ipotesi di Galeno (II sec. d.C.) sulla necessità dei nervi periferici per la funzione dei linfonodi, da lui indicati come “ghiandole del corpo” (De Usu Partium XVI, 269). Nel 1565, poi, l’anatomico e clinico piemontese Leonardo Botallo osservò che le condizioni di stress psichico (emozioni eccessive) producevano “febbri”, introducendo l’idea che la mente fosse coinvolta nel controllo del corpo alle malattie, ipotesi confermata tra il 1888 e il 1926 con la scoperta dell’innervazione linfonodale e del condizionamento pavloviano delle reazioni immunitarie . Infine, nel 1984 il fisiologo americano J. Edwin Blalock propose il concetto di interazione bidirezionale tra sistema immune, centri neurali e funzione endocrina . Oggi, dopo 1800 anni di evidenze, il paradigma della risposta immuno-neuroendocrina trova una sorprendente e, forse, inattesa conferma anche negli effetti devastanti della più recente pandemia da Coronavirus dove, appunto, l’uso dei corticosteroidi si è riaffermato come un presidio terapeutico importante.
Les infections sont fréquentes chez les drépanocytaires. La susceptibilité aux infections du drépanocytaire est connue. Elle est attribuée à l´asplénie fonctionnelle qui est la conséquence d´infarctus splénique répétés . Les complications infectieuses sont une grande source de morbidité et mortalité chez le drépanocytaire . Sur un total de 380 patients drépanocytaires, nous avons trouvé une pathologie infectieuse chez 291patients soit une fréquence de complications infectieuses de 6,57% des cas. Parmi ces infections, celles osseuses ont représenté 35 cas sur les 291 soit 12% de l´ensemble des infections et ce qui correspond à 9,2% de l´ensemble des drépanocytaires. Notre fréquence est de loin inférieure à celle de DIOP qui, travaillant sur les infections bactériennes chez 100 drépanocytaires fébrile a trouvé une fréquence de 24% pour les os derrière l´infection oto-rhino-laryngologique et pulmonaire avec respectivement 32 et 28%; sa fréquence élevée s´explique par le fait qu´il a exclu dans ce calcul le paludisme qui représente chez lui 48% et n´a calculé que les infections bactériennes alors que notre fréquence a pris en compte également les cas de paludisme.

A wide variety of biological processes associated with PRMT7 function are consistent with the broad range of proteins methylated by PRMT7 in cells. This repertoire will undoubtedly be further expanded in the course of future research. In light of the emerging pattern of context-dependent function of PRMT7, it will be interesting to explore tissue, cell state, or stimulus-specific roles of PRMT7. So far, the organismal knockouts of PRMT7 have provided a wealth of phenotypic information of which only some are mechanistically accounted for, such as the role of PRMT7 in muscle physiology or B cell biology. However, further studies on the processes underlying neuronal or bone development as well as metabolic phenotypes of PRMT7 knockouts are needed. Concurrently understanding PRMT7 expression patterns and the transcription factors that determine cell-specific or stimulus-driven PRMT7 regulation will enable deeper mechanistic knowledge. And as indicated above, the context-specific function of PRMT7 may stem from its interacting proteins. Several studies have begun to address binding partner proteins of PRMT7 through co-immunoprecipitation or proximity biotinylation techniques, where the former has further delved into the biological outcome of such interactions identifying EIF2S1 methylation and stress response regulation . Such mechanistic research will be necessary to elucidate the significance of PRMT7-driven methylation. Thus, addressing PRMT7 expression pattern, protein stability, substrates, and interaction partners and interplay with other PRMT family members will enable a deeper understanding of PRMT7 function.
To provide a measure of Vibrio abundance, a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay was used to quantify Vibrio- specific 16S rRNA gene copies in each sample as previously described (Thompson et al., 2004; Siboni et al., 2016; King et al., 2019c). The resulting data were normalized to milliliters of collected water or milligrams of tissue. Swabs of out- and inside of shells were excluded from this analysis.
Most studies in the plastic surgery literature describe mission trips that focus on highly specialized problems including congenital anomalies like cleft lip/palate. Little data exist on plastic surgery practices in sub-Saharan Africa and how best to improve care. Our organization has developed partnerships to promote training of local providers. Our goal was to characterize plastic surgery practices at Hospital Central Maputo (HCM) in Mozambique to help understand the challenges in delivering care for the local providers and to facilitate training.
Inflammation has been implicated as an important factor in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Multiple studies have indeed shown an increased presence of inflammatory cells in left atrial tissue of AF patients. However, whether the extent of atrial inflammation relates with clinical risk factors of AF or with AF duration is largely unknown.
综上，新一代ALK-TKIs在克唑替尼获得性耐药的患者中已展现了不俗的疗效。同时已经可以初步看出，这些药物在未经克唑替尼治疗的ALK阳性患者中疗效更好。2016年ASCO报告了Alectinib一项Ⅲ期临床试验初步结果：Alectinib对比克唑替尼用于未经ALK-TKIs治疗过的ALK阳性患者，截至报告，Alectinib组中位PFS尚未达到（95%CI: 20.3-无法评估），而克唑替尼组中位PFS 10.2个月。2016年WCLC报告了Ceritinib对比克唑替尼一线治疗ALK阳性患者的Ⅲ期临床试验ASCEND-4，该研究达到了其首要终点：Ceritinib组PFS较克唑替尼组显著延长（16.6个月vs 8.1个月；HR=0.55，95%CI：0.42-0.73；P < 0.000, 01），ORR也明显提高（72.5% vs 26.7%）。因此，新一代ALK-TKIs的角色同样并非限制在克唑替尼获得性耐药的解救治疗。同时研究证实，各种ALK-TKI对于不同的继发性突变敏感性不同（表 2），甚至有Lorlatinib耐药后回头应用克唑替尼重新有效的报道。因此，未来理想的方式应该是动态监测耐药患者突变状态的变化，并选择相应的ALK-TKI。
Floating car data can be matched to the driving network using matching algorithms . Thus, we can obtain reference route choice proportions using floating car data:(38)F3(ρ)=12M3∥ρ−ρ¯∥22, where M3 is the number of floating car samples. It should be noted that floating car data are sampled data. We should again specify a rule for identifying stationary activities and then match the GPS records to a map using a map matching algorithm (e.g., a hidden Markov chain algorithm) .
Next, we combined the merged subsample with the USDA’s Purchase-to-Plate Crosswalk (PPC) dataset, which links IRI scanner data with USDA nutrition databases (nutrient and food group quantities) . Quantities for random-weight products (i.e., products purchased by the pound or unit) are not available in the IRI data . Therefore, PPC does not include nutrition information for these products . As a result, households whose reported purchases consisted of only such random-weight products, for which the quantity and nutrition information was missing, were excluded from the analysis. We used the combined data to calculate household HEI-2015 scores after aggregating all reported food purchases over an entire year at the household level. To compare the average HEI scores and the sub-scores, we first stratified the data by household poverty level, following the U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2015 : (a) at or below 130% of poverty; (b) between 130% and 185% of poverty; and (c) above 185% of poverty (higher percentage reflecting higher per person household income). The stratification by income was implemented to capture household eligibility for certain programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Then, for each/multiple condition(s)/health behavior(s), the difference in mean HEI score was tested for equivalence with the respective score against households without any member with the condition(s)/behavior(s). We compared the mean HEI scores and its sub-scores adjusted for demographic and socioeconomic factors, such as household poverty level, size, race, and ethnicity; household head’s age and marital status; and whether a household is female-led. We used Stata version 16 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX, USA) to perform the analyses and used Stata’s SVY commands to account for the complex sampling design and weighting. The results reported are based on the weighted sample.
While the inability to access venture capital in the early discovery phase is a potential drawback of the open science model, it is helpful to note that the annual global research spend for biomedicine and drug discovery is approaching ~$300B 45, of which venture capital is only ~$10B 46. In one view, while the open science structure of M4K might forsake the opportunity to compete for $10B of venture funding, in providing wider access to public and philanthropic funding, it positions M4K better to access a far larger pool of capital.
Bei der Versorgung rupturierter Aortenaneurysmen ist eine endovaskuläre Ballonblockade im Sinne eines REBOA-Manövers ein etablierter Teil der Versorgungsstrategie bei hämodynamisch instabilen Patienten . Gerade bei der endovaskulären Versorgung bietet sich das Einbringen eines Blockballons über die in den Leisten einliegenden Schleusen an. Durch einen intraoperativen Wechsel des Blockballons kann eine komplette endovaskuläre Aneurysmaausschaltung unter Ballonblockade der Aorta erfolgen . Aber auch bei der offen chirurgischen Therapie eines rupturierten Aortenaneurysmas ist die Platzierung eines aortalen Blockballons ein probates Mittel zur hämodynamischen Stabilisierung des Patienten bis zur offen chirurgischen Aortenklemmung. Da in Aortenzentren das für das Manöver benötigte Material und die Expertise vorhanden sind, bietet sich hier auch eine breitere Anwendung des REBOA-Manövers im Rahmen anderer Akutsituationen an.
The occurrence frequency (HWN) of compound HWs increased in large parts of China, with the largest increases above 0.5 times decade−1 mostly observed in the Yangtze River Valley and South China (Fig. 4a). These two regions also experienced significant increases in participating days (HWF, Fig. 4b) and mean duration (HWD, Fig. 4c). Considering the mean duration being calculated as , such lengthening trend suggests a larger magnitude in increases of HWF. The largest amplification of HWI (intensity, see Method Section) were found in North China, with quite a few stations registering trends above 3 °C decade−1, though these station experienced relatively smaller increases in duration (Fig. 4d). The HWI is designed to portray accumulated heat stresses during HWs, so it is a function of both duration and exceedance above the threshold. Thus, stronger amplification in intensity corresponding to smaller lengthening in duration may imply more drastically elevated Tmax and/or Tmin in North China.

However, some authors suggest conservative treatment only for acute type C lesions (avulsions of the periosteum) or consider surgical treatment for acute cases due to the inadequate potential for anatomic healing of the fibrous sheath . It is unknown which lesions might heal with conservative treatment .
Evidence indicates that oxidative stress closely links to mitochondrial dysfunction and alterations in cellular homeostasis and damage, the result of which is known to lead to various neurological diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.71 Many of the mitochondrial proteins that are involved in oxidative stress response were upregulated or downregulated in the brain following spaceflight (eg, ACAD9, COA5, DNM1L, FDXR, NDUFAF5, NDUFV2, OPA1, PNPLA8, SCO1, SURF1, and TXN2). Cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 1 (SURF1) is a protein localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and thought to be involved in the biogenesis of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The level of SURF1 protein expression showed a threefold decrease in FLT mice over GC. Low level expresion of SURF1- mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain may have effects on brain glucose metabolism, cerebral blood flow, and memory.72
Western blot analysis demonstrated that multiple phosphorylations of RB were significantly reduced in ACT1 cells that competed with NTECs, while total RB protein level was not changed (Fig 7A). As RB phosphorylations are targeted by several Cyclin/Cdk kinases, we examined the levels of their inhibitors. Among p21WAF1/Cip1, p16INK4A, and p27Kip1, the p27Kip1 protein, which are expressed in ACT1 cells at lower level as compared with NTECs, was profoundly upregulated in competed ACT1 cells (Fig 7B).
Fonctionnels: Nous avons noté une nette corrélation entre l'AV finale corrigée et la latéralité de la cataracte, avec un meilleur pronostic visuel des cataractes bilatérales comparativement à celui des cataractes unilatérales (p < 0,001). L'AV moyenne finale corrigée était significativement basse dans le groupe des patients ayant présentés des complications postopératoires comparativement au groupe des patients sans complications (p < 0,001). La relation entre l’âge au moment de l'intervention et l'acuité visuelle moyenne finale était fortement significative lors des cataractes obturantes (Figure 3). Dans une analyse multi-variée, les facteurs de mauvais pronostic retrouvés étaient l’âge tardif de la chirurgie la densité de la cataracte et la survenue de complications (Tableau 1).
The medical appointments have been the worst thing I have dealt with. Having to be assessed over the phone… I have not handled it very well. How could I tell them that my shoulder hurts and where exactly! That is the worst situation I was confronted with. Woman, aged 71.

Since the model requires differenced and normalized input values, we anticipate that it should be applicable to a wide range of data sets with no further training required. In order to clarify this, we add the following at the end of the subsection “DLFNN structure and training”:
Several potential limitations should be acknowledged. First of all, selective bias of dividing the patients into different groups was unavoidable due to the retrospective nature of this study. As we have mentioned above, patients with lower tumor location (DAV < 3cm) were only selected for APR, which resulted in the bias of tumor location in these two groups. However, with careful planning and a multidisciplinary approach, rectal cancer height did not influence the oncological outcome [26, 27]. Similarly, we found tumor location had no significant impact on DFS in the current study, as showed in Table 3. Furthermore, the surgeon specialization and technical expertise have been considered as important factors of the surgical procedure decision for low-lying LARC . Since quality of life was another important long-term outcome of rectal cancer after surgery, we also failed to evaluate it in our study. This limitation may have led to underestimate the quality of life after CRT followed by SPR or APR influencing the oncologic survival. Moreover, we also realized that the insufficient follow-up time was unable to measure the 5-year OS for patients. Despite of those limitations mentioned above, our study indeed provided the critical information for the optimal strategy for treating low-lying LARC patients.
Improvements have been made over the last decades in HNC treatment as for salvage. Introduction of designated head and neck centres, increasing use of MDTs, evolution in reconstructive surgery and improved patients optimization have all contributed. The increasing number of HPV‐positive OPSCC patients may play a role in improved outcome in SS. Jayaram et al. (2016) described this improvement over the past two decades for OPSCC specifically with a 5‐year OS of 18% in the pre‐2000 era amounting to 50% in the present time. The ongoing sophistication in TORS and its progressive use has led to less open surgical approaches for OPSCC recurrences. The upcoming interest for value‐based health care and shared decision‐making has contributed to patient participation (Roman, Awad, & Patel, 2015). Patients are consulted accordingly in case of presumed salvage surgery. Patients not eligible for salvage surgery should be considered for participation in immunotherapy clinical trials (Gavrielatou, Doumas, Economopoulou, Foukas, & Psyrri, 2020). Although major improvements have been made in managing patients with recurrent and residual HNC, a 5‐year postsalvage OS ranging from 30% to 50% nowadays is still modest. Time should be taken to extensively discuss a case both in a MDT as with the patient. Every possible prognosticator should be carefully weighed (Leemans, 2017). In case of poor general condition, short DFI, advanced stage disease and significant nodal tumour burden, a plan for salvage surgery should at least be reconsidered. The patient should be informed thoroughly so to decide whether these high stakes of salvage surgery are worth the effort and uncertainty. SS is indeed a last resort treatment with an often unpredictable outcome and will remain so in the near future. Further development of predictive modelling may aid in decision‐making in salvage surgery.
We would like to draw your attention to changes in our revision policy that we have made in response to COVID-19 (https://elifesciences.org/articles/57162). Specifically, we are asking editors to accept without delay manuscripts, like yours, that they judge can stand as eLife papers without additional data, even if they feel that they would make the manuscript stronger.

The conditioned media of organoid cultures were harvested after 2 days, centrifuged at 300× g for 5 min and at 2000× g for 20 min to remove cells, cell debris and apoptotic bodies. After centrifugation, 100 µL supernatant was diluted to 1 mL in PBS and the EV concentration and size distribution were measured on a ZetaView Z-NTA instrument (Particle Metrix, Inning am Ammersee, Germany). The cell positions were scanned at 25 °C with the following camera settings: auto expose, gain: 28.8, offset: 0, shutter: 100, sensitivity: 80. The videos were analyzed with a minimum area of 5, a maximum area of 1000, and minimum brightness of 20 by the ZetaView Analyze software 8.05.10. Cells were cultured under the same conditions (medium volume, time, tissue culture dish format) when EV release from the experimental groups was compared directly. The particle concentration data were normalized to cell numbers.
Il a été clairement démontré que le risque de développer des atteintes extra pulmonaires est proportionnel au degré du déficit immunitaire . Dans notre étude, la localisation était double ou triple en dehors de tout déficit immunitaire. Plusieurs hypothèses ont été avancées pour expliquer la survenue de cette forme grave de tuberculose chez les immunocompétents. Certains auteurs ont pu établir une relation entre la tuberculose diffuse et l'intensité de la transmission dans la collectivité . D'autres impliquent la malnutrition comme facteur favorisant . Cathérinot a décrit le syndrome de la susceptibilité mendélienne aux infections mycobactériennes par l'existence de défauts de l'axe interleukine 12-interféron gamma et exposant à la tuberculose diffuse.
Le fait de travailler au sein d'un centre hospitalier universitaire n'influe pas sur le risque de survenue du syndrome de burnout dans notre étude. Dans la littérature, Doppia et al. ainsi que Mion et al. après avoir effectué des études sur une population d'urgentistes et d'anesthésistes-réanimateurs de centres hospitaliers universitaires français ont découvert respectivement un taux de prévalence du burnout syndrom de 42% et 62% mais n'ont trouvé aucun lien significatif entre le lieu de travail et le BOS. Une étude finlandaise retrouve que les médecins œuvrant en milieu hospitalier accusent d'un BOS modéré . Bien que cette étude n'ait eu qu'un retour mitigé, détecter le BOS est nécessaire. En effet, le BOS dérive de l'accumulation de stress, d'un état dépressif ou mélancolique, ou encore d'un manque de sommeil, que peut engendrer la profession médicale [10, 22, 25]. De plus ce syndrome s'accompagne de nombreux effets autant psychiques que somatiques, voire des addictions; ce qui serait délétère dans leur prise en charge des patients [1, 22, 25]. Un des risques de survenue du BOS est l'absence de conditions optimales de travail et le risque d'erreurs médicales dans cette profession particulièrement stressante [17, 22]. Madagascar n'en est pas exempt. Un sondage plus conséquent serait plus intéressant, vu les limites de cette étude. Parmi celles-ci, le taux de retour faible et le type d'étude (transversale). Nous avions voulu voir la réceptivité des médecins à une enquête portant sur le BOS, mais, 47,1% des questionnaires ont été rendus. Cela aurait pu mésestimer les résultats obtenus et leur interprétation, que ce soit sur les paramètres démographiques, professionnelles voire le BOS et ses composantes. De plus, l'exclusion de dix-sept fiches dans laquelle au moins une question n'a pas eu de réponse aurait pu sur- ou sous-estimer ce syndrome d'épuisement professionnel. Par cette enquête transversale par laquelle les données étaient recueillies à un instant déterminé. Une dimension temporelle de l'étude, par une approche longitudinale, pourrait mieux cerner les facteurs temporels liés à ce syndrome (période de vacances, de fêtes, etc.).
The production of recombinant proteins requires a successful correlation between the gene’s expression, protein solubility, and its purification (Esposito and Chatterjee, 2006). The production levels of recombinant proteins synthesized in E. coli are no longer pointed as a limitation for the success of the overall process, but care should be taken with the protein solubility, which is still a major bottleneck in the field. The downstream processing is deeply associated with an efficient protein production strategy, and thus it must be tailor-designed to maximize the recovery of pure recombinant proteins.
Somit ist auch hier als Zwischenfazit festzuhalten, dass die Sensibilisierung für die Förderung von Gesundheitskompetenz im Gesundheitssystem gestiegen ist und auch das Problemverständnis deutlich zugenommen hat. Gleichwohl bleibt als Herausforderung, die Handlungsveränderungsbereitschaft weiter anzuregen und zu intensivieren – dies auf allen Ebenen. Dazu ist auch, aber nicht allein weitere Überzeugungs- und Motivationsarbeit notwendig. Zugleich ist zu bedenken, dass Veränderungen oft langjährig verankerte professionelle und institutionelle Routinen berühren und daher immer (unbequeme) Umstellungsprozesse erfordern.
•O Estudo GBD 2019 usa o SDI como uma estimativa do nível socioeconômico de uma localidade. A Figura 4-3 mostra a correlação entre o SDI e a taxa de mortalidade padronizada por idade por cardiomiopatia e miocardite, por 100 mil habitantes, em 1990 e e 2019. Não houve correlação entre a taxa de mortalidade padronizada por idade e o SDI em 1990 (R = - 0,36, p=0,068). Entretanto, houve significativa correlação entre a taxa de mortalidade padronizada por idade e o SDI em 2019 (R = 0,4, p=0,041). 90
如既往的新辅助化疗和放疗一样，术前新辅助免疫治疗并不能使所有治疗的人群都会获益。因此，目前新辅助免疫治疗所面临的最大的挑战仍是如何筛选出获益人群。寻找良好的标志物进行疗效预测。虽然目前尚无明确的疗效预测标志物，但经过Ⅲ期临床试验证实对免疫检查点抑制剂有指导意义的生物标志物主要有肿瘤PD-L1表达水平和肿瘤突变负荷(tumour mutation burden, TMB)，但其在肺癌中的应用仍有待进一步研究证实。尽管现有大部分临床试验显示肿瘤PD-L1表达较高时，检测点抑制剂可能有效，但这既不能保证此类药物用于PD-L1高表达的肿瘤一定有效，也不表示其对PD-L1表达阴性的肿瘤绝对无效。肿瘤在不同时间和空间以及经受不同的治疗方法时肿瘤细胞的PD-L1表达水平均有变化。TMB在多项Ⅱ期临床试验中表现出一定的指导意义，其相较肿瘤PD-L1表达水平的优势是可通过肿瘤组织和血液中ctDNA来监测。但检测方法上只能通过NGS、WES、靶基因测序来实现对肿瘤突变负荷的评估。
The main anthropometric and biological characteristics of the 1,462 Mexican children are summarized in Table 1. Fifty-three percent of the population were males. Children exhibited an average age and BMI of 9.24 ± 2.07 years and 19.65 ± 4.20 kg/m2, respectively. Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2000 references, 1.4% of the children were underweight, 49.4% were normal weight, 21.3% were overweight and 27.9% were obese. Additionally, 1.5, 3.1 and 34.9% of children displayed hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, respectively. A family history of overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes or hypertension was reported for 53.0, 12.0 and 16.3% of children, respectively (Table 1). The sample size was similar for all traits except fasting insulin (data available in 78.5% of subjects) due to the phenomenon of blood hemolysis.
