In this review, our purpose is to summarize what has been learned to date regarding SpA genetics from family-based studies, with a special focus on recent identification of rare associated variants through next-generation sequencing studies.Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a preinvasive form of breast cancer with a highly variable potential of…[Read more]

Potassium-ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) have been considered as promising potentials in mid- to large-scale storage system applications owing to their high energy and power density. However, the process involving the intercalation of K+ into the carbonaceous anode is a sluggish reaction, while the adsorption of anions onto the cathode surface is…[Read more]

The functions of DEMs were evaluated using the tool for annotations of human miRNAs database, and via Gene Ontology analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis of the target genes. Finally, survival analyses of DEMs, which were in the miRNA-gene network, was performed. The results suggested that a…[Read more]

Repetitive behaviors (RB) represent a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from sensory-motor stereotypies to complex cognitive rituals, frequently dichotomized as low- and high-order sub-groups of symptoms. Even though these subgroups are considered as phenomenologically distinct in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder…[Read more]

In 2016, spirometry revealed a moderate mixed pattern that did not improve with bronchodilator. Thoracoscopic lung biopsy results demonstrated focal mild cellular bronchiolitis and pleuritis, and focal peribronchiolar giant cells/granulomas, but no evidence of constrictive bronchiolitis. Full-shift personal air-samples collected in the flavoring…[Read more]

Although burnout is a risk factor for various negative mental and physical outcomes, its prevention is hampered by the stigma associated with burnout. The current research therefore reports on the initial development and validation of a novel measure of perceived burnout stigma. Study 1 (n = 318) describes the construction and initial evaluation…[Read more]

However, limitations such as low body condition score, lameness or mobility problems, and visual defects remain persistent. Even though beef harvest plants accommodate cows in all body composition states, the current carcass grade system does not reflect the mature cow industry needs. Therefore, improvement of the grading system could maximize…[Read more]

Our results demonstrate that although both concurrent and neoadjuvant combination therapies can increase intratumoral drug exposure and therapeutic accuracy, neoadjuvant therapy surpasses this, especially against hyperglycemia. Our model provides mechanistic explanations for clinical observations of tumor progression and response to treatment and…[Read more]
