Fair through to substantial inter-rater and intra-rater reliability levels were evidenced. Sufficient interpretability resulted along with necessary levels of acceptability and sensitivity.

PCOC SAS is a valid and reliable patient-reported outcome measure suitable for use in routine clinical care with patients requiring palliative and or…[Read more]

Osteonecrosis is one of the most disabling diseases affecting pediatric and adult populations. Local application of biomaterials is a promising therapeutic strategy for osteonecrosis. Currently, there is a lack of low-cost animal models of osteonecrosis for testing and developing biomaterials-driven therapeutics. To develop a rat model of ischemic…[Read more]

We find that solvent- non-solvent environments render film dewetting rates, which are an order of magnitude faster than solvent vapor dewetting, and supports the formation of small solid polymer droplets, down to sub-100nm droplet size, of large contact angles with the solid substrate. Pre-patterned polymer film stripes support the formation of…[Read more]

The synaptonemal complex is a tripartite proteinaceous ultrastructure that forms between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis in the majority of eukaryotes. It is characterized by the coordinated installation of transverse filament proteins between two lateral elements and is required for wild-type levels of crossing over and…[Read more]
