To analyze the genetic origin, relationships, structure, and admixture in Mayan Native American groups from Guatemala and Mexico based on 15 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) loci commonly used in human identification (HID).

We genotyped 513 unrelated Mayan samples from Guatemala based on 15 STR loci (AmpFlSTR® Identifiler kit).…[Read more]

ions of effect modification by both individual and township-level factors. BACKGROUND Most studies use temperature observation data from weather stations near the analyzed region or city as the reference point for the exposure-response association. Climatic reanalysis data sets have already been used for climate studies, but are not yet used…[Read more]

The oxidation states of iron have a different contribution and importance to the environment. In this sense, the improvement of a widely used methodology is crucial for the better study of iron speciation in soil.

Neuroimaging provides great utility in complex spinal surgeries, particularly when anatomical geometry is distorted by pathology…[Read more]

The bioactivity and biocompatibility play key roles in the success of dental and orthopaedic implants. Although most commercial implant systems use various surface microstructures, the ideal multi-scale topographies capable of controlling osteointegration have not yielded conclusive results. Inspired by both the isotropic adhesion of the skin…[Read more]

Furthermore, re-conventionalization with 11 culturable species from the conventional trout microbiota conferred resistance to F. columnare infection. Using mono-re-conventionalized germ-free trout, we identified that this protection is determined by a commensal Flavobacterium strain displaying antibacterial activity against F. columnare. Finally,…[Read more]

on of sterility protocol with anti-malaria prophylaxis led to improvements in our centre’s outcomes.

The management of POF in the cardiac ICU was complicated by the requirement of co-operation from a larger number of specialties than is usually required in advanced centres with special expertise in malaria confirmation. We, therefore,…[Read more]

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is associated with the upregulation of the DUX4 transcription factor and its target genes. However, low-frequency DUX4 upregulation in patient myocytes is difficult to detect and examining the relationship and dynamics of DUX4 and target gene expression has been challenging. Using RNAScope in situ hybridization…[Read more]

Additionally, the sense of presence elicited by our system is measured via the Igroup Presence Questionnaire applied to beginner and amateur soccer players (n = 24). Regarding the HCI aspect, a comparison of input options reveals that a high presence can be achieved when using full body interactions that integrate head and body motions via a…[Read more]

RESULTS One or more NREs were reported in 101 (78%) of 129 observed cases for 247 total NREs. Clinicians reported 2 (2) (median, interquartile range) NREs per NRE case with a maximum severity of 3 (1) (possible range = 1-5). Trained research assistants rated 47% of NREs as preventable and 11% as severe and preventable. The relative risks for…[Read more]

To evaluate the influence of pupil dynamics on the defocus profile and area-of-focus of eyes implanted with a diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

This prospective randomized trial was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Brazil. Thirty-eight patients were r…[Read more]

In recent years, insight into immune pathogenesis and treatment of primary systemic vasculitides (PSV) has increased considerably, and has led to the development of many clinically relevant biomarkers. This review aims to provide an update on the main biomarkers discovered and their potential application to precision medicine in vasculitis.…[Read more]
