Purpose The use of technology (e.g., telehealth) in clinical settings has rapidly increased, and its use in research settings continues to grow. The aim of this report is to present one potential solution to a clinical issue that of virtual and remote assessment for the purposes of spoken language research in persons with aphasia (PWA). To do so,…[Read more]

The extended follow-up of the NLST represents a timely and important update to the NLST data, alongside full results of the NELSON and the LUSI trials, as Europe begins to set out a vision for lung cancer screening. http//bit.ly/2MYXedI. Copyright ©ERS 2020.ANCA positivity is uncommon in North American IPF patients. However, women with IPF who…[Read more]

Thus, LEAP2 serves as an endogenous antagonist of the ghrelin receptor GHSR1a in coelacanth and the ghrelin-LEAP2-GHSR1a system has evolved slowly since its emergence in ancient fish.

Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid inhibits tyrosinase enzyme causing melanin biosynthesis suppression. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of intra-mucosal injection…[Read more]

The prevalence of smokeless tobacco (SLT) use among firefighters is substantially higher than the general population and similar occupational groups. Despite the significant health risks associated with SLT and its impact on occupational readiness, there are no occupationally-tailored SLT education or treatment programs for the fire service. The…[Read more]

ut the whole adolescent population of New Zealand. They also yield confidence intervals that are significantly narrower than those obtained using the original sampling weights.Introducing a knowledge graph into a recommender system as auxiliary information can effectively solve the sparse and cold start problems existing in traditional recommender…[Read more]

IOP decreased during eyelid closure, which was significantly lower than downgaze at 25° (mean ± SEM -2.1 ± 0.3 mmHg vs. -0.7 ± 0.2 mmHg, P = 0.014).

Our data suggest that IOP varies reproducibly with gaze direction, albeit with patient variability. IOP generally increased in upgaze but decreased in inferonasal gaze and on eyelid clo…[Read more]

While there was no significant difference between baseline amplitudes, mean potential quality decreased significantly by 88.3 µV (- 13.5%) for the 10-20 electrodes (p = 0.004) after durotomy, unlike for the navigated electrodes (- 28.6 µV [- 3.1%]; p = 0.055). For patients with an anatomically displaced M1, the navigated tcMEPs declined signif…[Read more]

No adverse events were reported. Conclusions ARIF is a reliable technique for tibial plateau fracture (Schatzker I-III). The technique described is very cheap and reproducible in any hospital . This procedure allows to well understand the pattern of fracture and to obtain an anatomical reduction with a great tissue sparing and a faster recovery of…[Read more]

The variety of magnetic properties exhibited by paramagnetic lanthanoids provides outstanding information in NMR-based structural biology and therefore can be a very useful tool for characterizing lanthanoid-binding proteins. Because of their dependence on the relative positions of the protein nuclei and of the lanthanoid ion, the paramagnetic…[Read more]

The protein to polysaccharide ratio, viscosity, casting method and spin speed were found to influence the final film morphology. High protein concentrations generally resulted in porous structures whereas higher polysaccharide concentrations resulted in spherical discontinuous domains. Low spin speed conditions resulted in growth of protuberances…[Read more]
