Iowa Knee scores were 94 (range 86-96) and Anterior Knee Pain Scale scores were 76 (range 75-80) after infrapatellar nail insertion.

Depending on the technique used, the proportion of patients with knee pain after tibial nailing varied between 10 and 38%. The actual measured knee pain scores were, however, surprisingly low. Knee function…[Read more]

Introduction Many studies have suggested a link between vitamin D deficiency and the development of other atopic diseases like allergic rhinitis (AR). AR can lead to sleep disturbance, fatigue, depressed mood, and compromised cognitive function, which can impair the quality of life and productivity in many people. Objective We aimed to determine…[Read more]

Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 5-10% of strokes and its prognosis may be influenced by different complications, including delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI). The pathophysiology of DCI is complex and still unknown. Many different mechanisms may contribute to the occurrence of DCI. Arterial stiffness (AS), a well-known risk factor for…[Read more]

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been used for wastewater treatment and production of renewable energy or biogas. Propionate accumulation is one of the important problems leading to an unstable system and low methane production. Revealing propionate-degrading microbiome is necessary to gain a better knowledge for alleviation of the problem. Herein, we…[Read more]

We compare the numbers of vascular plant species in the three major tropical areas. The Afrotropical Region (Africa south of the Sahara Desert plus Madagascar), roughly equal in size to the Latin American Region (Mexico southward), has only 56,451 recorded species (about 170 being added annually), as compared with 118,308 recorded species (about…[Read more]

The theoretical results of this study can provide further insights that will aid the design of oncogenic EGFR inhibitors with high selectivity.Layered two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx), as an outstanding MXene member, has captured increasing attention in supercapacitor applications due to its excellent chemical and physical properties.…[Read more]

002) were significantly higher in migraine patients compared to HCs. Non-depressive migraine patients (n = 36) had significantly more hyperthymic temperament traits compared to depressive patients (n = 22) (p = .04). Specifically, depressive temperament traits were significantly associated with higher lifetime MD in female migraine patients (B =…[Read more]

Specifically, healthy controls (n=20) were most likely to have negative IGRA results (67.09%), whilst 27.27% of active cases (n=33) and 3.85% of quiescent cases (n=26) had indeterminate results (p=0.02). The number of immunosuppressant therapies was significantly negatively correlated with IFN-γ (p=0.004). No difference in IFN-γ concentration w…[Read more]

Hypertension heralds the diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in 75-85% of cases and shares many of its adverse outcomes as well as its acute and chronic symptoms. This review provides important new data about the pathophysiology and mechanisms that connect hypertension and HFpEF as well as therapy used in both…[Read more]

6-3.7 GTP min-1 FtsZ-1, and had an average length of 30-40 subunits, all similar to experimental results. Adding a bottom capper resulted in shorter protofilaments and higher GTPase, similar to the effect of the known bottom capper protein MciZ. The model could match nucleation kinetics of several flavors of FtsZ using the same parameters as…[Read more]

Causative mutations for human genetic disorders have mainly been identified in exonic regions that code for amino acid sequences. Recently, however, it has been reported that mutations in deep intronic regions can also cause certain human genetic disorders by creating novel splice sites, leading to pseudo-exon activation. To investigate how…[Read more]
