Most pulsotypes presented with one plasmid of the same size, indicating vertical transmission. AR determinants blaTEM and tetA were routinely found in IP and WB, respectively. One isolate from IP expressed colistin resistance and presented the mcr-1 gene carried by a plasmid. This study suggests that S. Choleraesuis circulates between WB and IP…[Read more]

The Arabidopsis L-type Amino Acid Transporter-5 (LAT5; At3g19553) was recently studied for its role in developmental responses such as flowering and senescence, under an assumption that it is a polyamine uptake transporter (PUT5). The LATs in Arabidopsis have a wide range of substrates, including amino acids and polyamines. This report extensively…[Read more]

95 years). A total of 28 RP and 19 FB knees (58.8%) were analyzed at the final follow-up. Results Among all patients, KSS and WOMAC scores statistically improved from pre-op to 2-year, while KSS statistically worsened from 2-year to final follow-up. The RP group averaged better follow-up scores in all assessments at the final follow-up with…[Read more]

Many studies have demonstrated that moral philosophies, such as idealism and relativism, could be used as robust predictors of judgements and behaviours related to common moral issues, such as business ethics, unethical beliefs, workplace deviance, marketing practices, gambling, etc. However, little consideration has been given to using moral…[Read more]

MOTIVATION With the emerging of high-dimensional genomic data, genetic analysis such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have played an important role in identifying disease-related genetic variants and novel treatments. Complex longitudinal phenotypes are commonly collected in medical studies. However, since limited analytical approaches…[Read more]

Human cytochrome P450 (or CYP) inhibition rates were investigated in sera from high fat diet (HFD)-induced type 2 diabetes (T2D), T2D recovered, and asymptomatic mice models to verify whether P450 inhibition assays could be used for the detection of disease, evaluation of therapeutic effect, and early diagnosis of T2D. In T2D mice, the blood…[Read more]

The construction of efficient and low toxic non-viral gene delivery vectors is of great significance for gene therapy. Herein, two novel polycations were constructed via Michael addition from low molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI) 600 Da and amino acid-containing linkages. Lysine and histidine were introduced for the purpose of improved DNA…[Read more]

When asked about their concerns regarding lithium therapy, more than half of the respondents reported that they were especially concerned about toxicity, organ dysfunction, and other adverse effects, as well as therapeutic drug monitoring.

Shifts in prescribing practices, inconsistent interpretation of lithium levels, and concerns about…[Read more]

Existing evidence consistently shows that African American (AA) caregivers experience a health paradox; participants of AA ethnicity have commonly reported having worse physical health but better mental health related to caregiver burden when compared to other racial groups. However, inconsistencies exist in the literature regarding mental health…[Read more]

The aim of our present review is to summarize the currently available knowledge on the pathogenic role of S. moorei in halitosis and other infections and to emphasize the relevance of this neglected anaerobic pathogen.(-)-Epicatechin (EC) is a flavanol that has shown numerous biological effects such as decrease risk of cardiovascular dysfunction,…[Read more]

0.71%) in this patient population.We describe a novel technique in which predictive holes, normally unique to patient-specific plates, may be utilized with off the shelf stock plates. This allows for the numerous benefits of predictive holes in mandibular reconstruction while negating the added cost of a custom milled plate. Three case examples…[Read more]
