Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is a multifaceted syndrome with a variable phenotype. Few studies have described the associated dental characteristics and their relationship with medical co-morbidities; and no Australian data exist.

To determine the clinical manifestations and correlations between oral and medical…[Read more]

performances or even earlier, after being genotyped using a reference population of CB animals.Behavioral changes caused by domestication in animals are an important issue in evolutionary biology. The silkworm, Bombyx mori, is an ideal fully domesticated insect model for studying both convergent domestication and behavior evolution. We explored…[Read more]

Test-retest variability was ±0.029 LogMAR for 95% confidence interval limits.

There can be one or more lines of variability in vision testing in a clinical setting using reference standard ETDRS and clinical standard Snellen charts. Test-retest reliability is not perfect even on standard clinical charts (variation up to 0.48 LogMAR). Of…[Read more]

The mechanism of the characteristic intermittent hypoxia (IH) of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on monocyte remain unclear. Our study found that OSAS children had a significantly upregulated expression in circulating proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-12, and endothelial injury markers VEGF and ICAM1. Association analysis revealed that…[Read more]

The state of Victoria currently reports some of the highest numbers of M. ulcerans cases in the world each year, with 340 cases notified in 2018 (an incidence of 5.5 per 100,000 population). In May 2019, a group of clinical, laboratory and public health experts met to discuss a new case definition for the surveillance of M. ulcerans disease in…[Read more]

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) biogenesis takes place in the nucleolus, the most prominent condensate of the eukaryotic nucleus. The proper assembly and integrity of the nucleolus reflects the accurate synthesis and processing of rRNAs which in turn, as major components of ribosomes, ensure the uninterrupted flow of the genetic information during…[Read more]

Further, we provide a literature review of the surgical characteristics, indications, and functional outcomes of KR instrumentation. A term search of “kickstand rod” was performed in PubMed, and relevant English language publications were included. The literature search yielded only six publications. A total of 45 patients across three studies…[Read more]

Furthermore, we extracted RNA from colorectal cancer cells for high-throughput sequencing analysis and reconfirmed the results by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses. The results suggested that the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway is significantly activated by P. gingivalis, while these changes were not observed for KDP136.…[Read more]
