this subtle variability into account.Frequent independent origins of environmental sex determination (ESD) are assumed within amniotes. However, the phylogenetic distribution of sex-determining modes suggests that ESD is likely very ancient and may be homologous across ESD groups. Sex chromosomes are demonstrated to be old and stable in…[Read more]

To measure alterations in mood, psychological, and behavioral factors in collegiate athletes throughout recovery from sport concussion (SC) compared with matched controls.

University research laboratory.

Twenty (55% female) division I collegiate athletes with SC (19.3 ± 1.08 years old, 1.77 ± 0.11 m, 79.6 ± 23.37 kg) and 20 (55% fe…[Read more]

Emerging evidence suggests that garlic (

L.) and its bioactive components can mitigate hepatic steatosis by the modulation of hepatic lipid metabolism. We aimed to assess the efficacy of the garlic administration on hepatic steatosis in patients with NAFLD.

This clinical trial was conducted on adult patients…[Read more]

Average DIX was 0.6 mm/day (0.5-0.7) and mean CIX was 44 days/cm (26-60). Delayed consolidation occurred in 2 patients and healed after ILN dynamization or nail exchange with grafting. Toe contractures in 2 other patients were resolved with physiotherapy or tenotomy. Until last follow-up (mean 18 months [12-30]) no true complications were e…[Read more]

Finally, we discuss some recent evidence of mechanosensitivity in the Notch pathway in driving collective epithelial cell migration and cardiovascular morphogenesis.

While chemerin has been shown to increase proliferation and migration of systemic vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contributing therefore to the development of hypertension,…[Read more]

1; AOFAS median increased to 90, ROM to 65°. After a year of observation, VAS of pain decreased to 5, FFI to 1,0; AOFAS median increased to 92.5, ROM to 71.5°.

The results showed that a first MTP joint AMIC procedure can be a fairly effective method of surgical treatment that can relieve pain and significantly improve the quality of life o…[Read more]

Given the unique patient population, good outcomes, lack of alternatives, and overall small numbers, we feel there is continued ethical justification for SHL, but a more standardized nationwide approach to the evaluation, listing, and allocation of organs is warranted.

As with all multiorgan transplantation, SHL transplantation raises ethical…[Read more]
