These results should be kept in mind while developing pheromone-based integrated pest management strategies.Cataract surgery is the commonest ophthalmic surgery worldwide. The replacement of the diseased lens with a synthetic one (intraocular lens-IOL) remains the treatment of choice, despite its potential complications that include infection,…[Read more]

The purpose of this work was to compare measurements of talar cartilage thickness and cartilage and bone surface geometry from clinically feasible magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) against high-accuracy laser scan models. Measurement of talar bone and cartilage geometry from MRI would provide useful information for evaluating cartilage changes,…[Read more]

To investigate the relationship between serum IgG (sIgG) concentration and the prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN).

A total of 309 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN in the Second Referral Hospital of Shenzhen were enrolled between 2010/01 and 2017/06. Patients were divided into 3 groups on the basis of sIgG tertiles < 8.99 g/L (Group…[Read more]

Although the almost worldwide distributed wild boar Sus scrofa is a well-studied species, little is known about the behaviour of autochthonous, free living wild boar in a spatiotemporal context which can help to better understand wild boar in conflict terms with humans and to find solutions. The use of camera traps is a favourable and non-invasive…[Read more]

Topical administration to the eye for the treatment of glaucoma is a convenient route because it increases the patient comfort. Timolol can efficiently diminish the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye; however the topical application as a solution of timolol maleate (TM) has poor therapeutic index and presents severe side effects. The…[Read more]

Deep learning models have been successfully applied to the analysis of various functional MRI data. Convolutional neural networks (CNN), a class of deep neural networks, have been found to excel at extracting local meaningful features based on their shared-weights architecture and space invariance characteristics. In this study, we propose M2D…[Read more]

Adaptive responses to stress are critical to enhance physical and mental well-being, but excessive or prolonged stress may cause inadaptability and increase the risks of psychiatric disorders, such as depression. GABABR signaling is fundamental to brain function and has been identified in neuropsychiatric disorders. KCTD12 is a critical auxiliary…[Read more]

Overall, our large-scale quantitative correlation analysis, utilizing emerging datasets, provides a resource informing the MM community of cell lines that may be most reliable for modeling patient disease while also elucidating biological differences between cell lines and tumors.The molecular mechanisms leading to the transformation of anaplastic…[Read more]
