811, P=0.001). It is concluded that OMS journals currently display a higher proportion of good quality articles leading to a better impact factor than 15 years ago.Skeletal muscle formation is a complex process that requires tight spatiotemporal control of key myogenic factors. Emerging evidence suggests that RNA processing is crucial for the…[Read more]

Primary motor neuronal dysplasia and extensive neural cell apoptosis were further observed. Meanwhile, the mouse models, carrying the two variants respectively homologous with the patients, both resulted in complete embryonic lethality of the homozygotes, which suggested the intolerable effect caused by amino acid substitution of Asp204 as well as…[Read more]

Lactobacillus crispatus is a common inhabitant of both healthy poultry gut and human vaginal tract, and the absence of this species has been associated with a higher risk of developing infectious diseases. In this study, we analyzed 105 L. crispatus genomes isolated from a variety of ecological niches, including the human vaginal tract, human gut,…[Read more]

The measurement of CAVI by PWV may be needed to predict the risk of ESRD.

The measurement of CAVI by PWV may be needed to predict the risk of ESRD.

Fatigue in haemodialysis (HD) patients is a prevalent but complex symptom impacted by biological, behavioural, psychological and social variables.…[Read more]

Radiotherapy is known to produce long-term skeletal complications. We aim to evaluate the biomechanical effect on femoral neck bone from hypothetical eccentric loads on pre- and post-radiotherapy CT-images for patients treated for rectal cancer.

Pre- and post-radiotherapy CT-images of rectal cancer from 10 patients were selected randomly.…[Read more]

Our model also suggests that two mutations in the nsp13 helicase allowed for the adaptation of the virus to the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Finally, our explainable artificial intelligence algorithm identified a mutational hotspot in the sequence of S that also displays a signature of positive selection and may have implications for tissue or…[Read more]

Incubation at 37°C enhanced adherence after 30 s or 5 days of contact time, and adherence after 1 h of contact time was increased in low-salt medium. Broth inoculum cultures were highly influenced by medium salinity and incubation temperature, whereas plate and biphasic inoculum cultures were only minimally affected. Therefore, inocula prepared…[Read more]

We report a two-step approach to bicyclic and monocyclic 5-(1-alkoxyalkylidene)tetronates starting from lactones/esters. The method features the use of thionolactones and thionoesters as activated forms of lactones/esters that allows the direct condensation with tetronates via one-pot enolate formation, nucleophilic addition, S-methylation, and…[Read more]

001). More patients were discharged routine and had fewer readmissions (both P less then .001). There were fewer complications, including deep venous thromboses/pulmonary emboli, urinary tract infections, and blood transfusions (all P less then .001). The difference-in-difference analyses suggested more females were discharged with home health…[Read more]

Spironolactone was initiated prior to admission (PTA) for 54.5% (n = 66) of patients, while 45.5% (n = 55) of orders were initiated during hospitalization. Eight patients (6.6%) experienced inpatient hyperkalemia-all with PTA spironolactone. Patients who experienced inpatient hyperkalemia had a numerically lower eGFR that was not statist…[Read more]

To compare audiometric outcomes and complication rates between primary and revision stapes surgical cases.

Retrospective cohort study.

Large single-institution database.

Data on 809 patients (including 170 revisions) undergoing primary and revision stapes surgery were reviewed, with Pearson chi-square and multivariable…[Read more]

The aim of this review is to analyze the latest trends in the management of non-vestibular skull base and intracranial schwannomas in order to optimize tumor control and quality of life. Non-vestibular cranial nerve schwannomas are rare lesions, representing 5-10% of cranial nerve schwannomas. Management decisions should be individualized…[Read more]
