Molecular characterization and validation of commercially available methods for haptoglobin measurement in bottlenose dolphin
submitted by natzobaatplonts 27 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Haptoglobin (Hp) is a positive acute-phase protein and a valuable marker of inflammation in both human and veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to validate the molecular characterization of Hp in dolphins and to validate commercially available Hp measurement methods such as Hp-ELISA (or...



Radiologists' Performance in the ACR Breast MR With Guided Biopsy Course
submitted by ljv32 29 minutes ago - Topic: Health
The ACR Education Center's Breast MR With Guided Biopsy course is designed to provide radiologists with an intensive, hands-on experience in interpreting breast MR. The aim of this study was to describe radiologists' performance in breast MR interpretation by case clinical indication, lesion type...

Comparison of Frequency Bands Using Spectral Entropy for Epileptic Seizure Prediction
submitted by yomco 33 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Under the hypothesis that the uncontrolled neuronal synchronization propagates recruiting more and more neurons, the aim is to detect its onset as early as possible by signal analysis. This synchronization is not noticeable just by looking at the EEG, so mathematical tools are needed for its iden...

Paralemmin-1 is expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells and modulates cell migration, cell maturation and tumor lymphangiogenesis
submitted by sakhonjon12 37 minutes ago - Topic: Biology
The lymphatic system, the network of lymphatic vessels and lymphoid organs, maintains the body fluid balance and ensures the immunological surveillance of the body. In the adult organism, the de novo formation of lymphatic vessels is mainly observed in pathological conditions. In contrast to the ...

Enhanced wound vascularization using a dsASCs seeded FPEG scaffold
submitted by sakhonjon12 37 minutes ago - Topic: Biology
The bioengineering of autologous vascular networks is of great importance in wound healing. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are of interest due to their ability to differentiate toward various cell types, including vascular. We hypothesized that adult human ASCs embedded in a three-dimensional ...



Bioinformatics for Microbial Genotyping of Equine Encephalitis Viruses, Orthopox Viruses, and Hantaviruses
submitted by samonoth 40 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Microbial genotyping is essential for forensic discrimination of pathogen strains, tracing epidemics, and understanding evolutionary processes. Phylogenetic analyses were performed and genotyping assays designed for five viral species complexes or genera: Western, Eastern, and Venezuelan equine e...

Vitamin C Deficiency in an Anticoagulated Patient
submitted by tenyoni 40 minutes ago - Topic: Health
A 64-year-old woman presented with a hemorrhagic perifollicular rash on her legs while taking warfarin. After biopsy, vitamin C deficiency was suggested as the diagnosis, which ascorbic acid assays later confirmed. Clinical resolution of the rash followed supplementation with vitamin C. Patients ...

Assess the prevalence of thyroid nodules and predictors of malignant origin in patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases. Patients and Methods. Retrospective study including 275 patients, 198 with Graves' disease and 77 with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Clinical and demographical data, ultrasonogra...

Influence of climate change on short term management of field crops – A modelling approach
submitted by gseikmon 51 minutes ago - Topic: Agriculture
Climatic change is likely to have an influence on arable farms in Central Europe. We use a modelling approach to assess the effects of weather and its long term development due to climate change on short-term decisions like planting and harvesting, as well as yields. Two models are coupled, a far...

A participatory whole farm modelling approach to understand impacts and increase preparedness to climate change in Australia
submitted by gseikmon 51 minutes ago - Topic: Agriculture
This study presents the use of a whole farm model in a participatory modelling research approach to examine the sensitivity of four contrasting case study farms to a likely climate change scenario. The newly generated information was used to support discussions with the participating farmers in t...

Metabolomics in noninvasive breast cancer
submitted by kijodono 57 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Breast cancer remains the most leading cause of death among women worldwide. Common methods for diagnosis and surveillance include mammography, histopathology and blood tests. The major drawback of mammography is the high rate of false reports, aside from the risk from repeated exposure to harmfu...

White matter microstructure is associated with cognitive control in children
submitted by ritmon 1 hour ago - Topic: Health
Cognitive control, which involves the ability to pay attention and suppress interference, is important for learning and achievement during childhood. The white matter tracts related to control during childhood are not well known. We examined the relationship between white matter microstructure an...

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy based Neurofeedback Training increases Specific Motor Imagery Related Cortical Activation compared to Sham Feedback
submitted by ritmon 1 hour ago - Topic: Health
In the present study we implemented a real-time feedback system based on multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Prior studies indicated that NIRS-based neurofeedback can enhance motor imagery related cortical activation. To specify these prior results and to confirm the efficacy of NIRS ...

High prevalence of multidrug resistance and Metallo-beta-lactamase (MβL) producing Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients in ICU wards, Hamadan, Iran
submitted by aloisso3110 1 hour ago - Topic: Health
 : Acinetobacterbaumannii is gram negative opportunistic coccobacilli, one of the most important isolates from nosocomial infections with high mortality rate. Multidrug resistance of this bacterium isolates from hospital wards makes treatment difficult and sometimes impossible. The aim of the pr...

5-Lipoxygenase-Activating Protein as a Modulator of Olanzapine-Induced Lipid Accumulation in Adipocyte
submitted by jeddocattan 1 hour ago - Topic: Biology
Experiments were performed in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiated in vitro into adipocytes. Cells were treated with olanzapine and a 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor MK-886. Lipid content was measured using an Oil Red O assay; 5-LOX and FLAP mRNA content was measured usi...
