Background There has recently been a substantial increase in the number of tick species and tick-borne infectious agents in Tanzania. Owing to their impact on human, livestock, and wild animal health, increased knowledge of ticks is needed. So far, no published data on the genetic relationship between hard tick (Ixodidae) sequences collected from…[Read more]

7%) and aseptic loosening (14.3%). Of those whose RTKA failed, the average survival was 3.33years (8days-11.4years). No demographic or surgical factors were found to influence RTKA survival on univariate or multivariate analysis.

PJI and periprosthetic fracture are the leading causes of re-revision surgery following aseptic revision TKA.…[Read more]

PI-RADS version 2 was used by 92% of the respondents and template reporting by 80%. Challenges to performing and interpreting prostate MRI were scored on a 1-5 Likert scale (1, easy; 2, somewhat easy; 3, neutral; 4, somewhat difficult; 5, very difficult). The median scores were 2 or 3 for patient preparatory factors. Image acquisition and…[Read more]

Multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block (MMN) and anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) neuropathy are rare chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathies with distinct clinical and electrophysiological characteristics. These neuropathies are generally not known to coexist. This report describes a patient with long-standing MMN who…[Read more]

Apical root resorption is a biological process induced when orthodontic force is exerted on a tooth and local necrosis of the periodontal ligament occurs. Macrophages remove the necrotic tissue. In this way, differentiating osteoclasts can both attach to the now available dental surface and can then provoke root resorption. There is considerable…[Read more]

Based on RNA-sequencing data we established SOX10 and ANKRD55 expression as genes discriminating CNS_NBL from other tumors exhibiting CNS-PNET. Immunohistochemical detection of combined expression of SOX10 and ANKRD55 clearly identifies CNS_NBL discriminating them to other hemispheric CNS neoplasms harboring “PNET-like” microscopic appearance.…[Read more]

Working group 2 (WG2) of the Asia Partnership Conference of Regenerative Medicine has discussed eligibility of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as starting cells for the manufacture of cell therapy products, and comparability before and after changes in their manufacturing process. Asian countries and regions have their own regulations on the…[Read more]

Anecdotal reports regarding high-functioning adults with agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC) suggest that they often lack psychosocial insight. We attempted to determine whether adults with AgCC are able to correctly identify appropriate behaviors within social contexts using the Social Norms Questionnaire.

The Social Norms…[Read more]

Recent studies suggest midkine (MDK) is involved in the development and regeneration of the zebrafish retina. We investigate the expression patterns of MDK and related factors, roles in neuronal survival, and influence upon the formation of Müller glia-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs) in chick and mouse model systems. By using single-cell…[Read more]

ResultsA total of 103 papers were selected for brief mention in this review.ConclusionsResuscitation science continues to evolve rapidly and incorporate all links in the chain of survival.Syntaphilin (SNPH) halts mitochondrial movements and regulates proliferation-motility phenotype switching of cancer cells. We sought to investigate the…[Read more]

Adjuvant neuroprotective therapies for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have demonstrated benefit in animal studies, albeit without human translation. We investigated the safety and efficacy of high-flow normobaric oxygen (NBO) after endovascular recanalization in anterior circulation stroke. This is a prospective randomized controlled study. Eligible…[Read more]
