The aim of the study was to investigate the content and distribution of fucosylated sugar residues and Lewis Y (LeY) in the endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) in placental tissue at early and late onset fetal growth restriction (FGR). Our findings demonstrated that the changes of the fucosylated glycans of type 2 (H2)/LeY in the vascular endothelium of…[Read more]

The intrauterine and early life environments have been linked to the etiology of breast cancer in prior studies. We prospectively examined whether maternal and newborn anthropometric factors as reported by the mother are related to an increased incidence of adult breast cancer in the daughter. We used data from 35,133 mother-daughter dyads of the…[Read more]

30; SD = 1.35) and other disadvantages (M = 3.28; SD = 1.30) and coding only if psychotherapy is intended (M = 3.39; SD = 1.46). Exposure, guideline knowledge, and experience were most strongly associated with GPs’ self-reported coding behaviour. Conclusions Subjective exposure, guideline knowledge, and experience as a GP, but no sociodemographic…[Read more]

Evidence suggests that increased level/aggregation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides initiate neurodegeneration and subsequent development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). At present, there is no effective treatment for AD. In this study, we reported the effects of gold nanoparticles surface-functionalized with a plant-based amino acid mimosine…[Read more]

MSH group vs controls showed a significant difference in mucosal thickening (OR 5.2, 95% CI 2.0-17.3) and DH meatus (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.4-2.1).

A hypoplastic maxillary sinus with abnormal or absent uncinate process is associated with advanced mucosal thickening and may present with altered anatomy of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity…[Read more]

5%) of the patients, and in 13 of 50 (26%) exposures. No clinical, genetic, demographic, or therapeutic feature could predict which FMF patient would respond favorably to TNF-blocker therapy.

This study suggests that TNF-blockers may be beneficial for a small proportion of colchicine-resistant FMF patients.

This study suggests that…[Read more]

Needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) is a procedure in which an AQ-Flex nCLE mini-probe is passed through an EUS-FNA needle into a pancreatic lesion to enable subsurface in vivo tissue analysis. In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of nCLE for the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions.

We conducted a…[Read more]

129), and BMI (0.406) but gender had significant effects on photon counts and myocardial detector counts were higher in males (p=0.00). There was a statistically significant difference between the images of Breast Up and non-Breast Up position, and myocardial detector counts were higher in the breast-up imaging method(p=0.00).

Implications are established for explaining variability in general and health-related self-regulation, as well as for intervening in these variables in health programs.In this work, bionanocomposites based on two different types of biopolymers belonging to the MaterBi® family and containing two kinds of modified nanoclays were compounded in a…[Read more]

The osteoblast-derived polypeptide, osteocalcin (OC), has been associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in several epidemiological studies. Animal studies indicated the undercarboxylated form of osteocalcin drives its association with metabolic outcomes. We compared associations of undercarboxylated and…[Read more]
