We identified onycholysis as the most common feature (93.3%) of fingernail psoriasis. Red lunula, longitudinal fissures, transverse grooves, nail plate crumbling, trachyonychia, oil-dropping sign, erythematous border of an onycholytic area, subungual hyperkeratosis, and dilated streaky capillaries were relevant to NP severity (p less then 0.05).…[Read more]

catarrhalis codominance, and high IFN-α and -γ response-had a significantly higher risk for developing asthma (9% vs. 38%; OR, 6.00 95%CI, 2.08-21.9; P = 0.002). Our findings provide an evidence base for the early identification of high-risk children during a critical period of airway development.Trap-assisted recombination caused by local…[Read more]

Moreover, attention is paid to ways to analyze such proteins using freely available bioinformatic tools and, more importantly, to bring these proteins alive by looking at them on a computer/laptop screen with the easy-to-use but highly performant and interactive molecular graphics program DeepView. It is hoped that this paper will stimulate…[Read more]

We determined the effects of age and sleep deprivation on driving and spatial perception in a virtual reality environment. Twenty-two young (mean age 22 years, range 18-35) and 23 old (mean age 71 years, range 65-79) participants were tested after a normal night of sleep and a night of sleep deprivation. The participants drove a virtual car while…[Read more]

A higher Lund-Mackay (LM) computed tomography score (

=0.023) and older age (

=0.018) were significantly associated with decreased disease resolution. No other factors were significantly associated with the use of endoscopic sinus surgery within one year of otolaryngology presentation or resolution of CRS in this cohort.

The risk…[Read more]

Fifty per cent of our patients (15/30) had some degree of CH after surgery. Quality-of-life measurement showed very good satisfaction by 100% at discharge, by 93.3% at 3 months and at 1 year. Those 6.66% of patients were partially satisfied/not satisfied because of the presence of moderate-to-severe CH.

A significant percentage of the…[Read more]

After a medical student prompted medical faculty to tell their stories of depression and related mental health issues, the author wrote this article with the aim of decreasing the stigma of mental illness and encouraging treatment, as needed, in the medical profession. The professional culture of the house of medicine not only mimics society in…[Read more]

The predicted surface-specific face differentiation of the prochiral substrate is experimentally corroborated since a three-fold increase in enantiomeric excess is obtained with the heterogeneous MOF-based catalyst when compared to its homogeneous molecular counterpart.In situ single-crystal diffraction and spectroscopic techniques have been used…[Read more]
