Single Eye mRNA-Seq Reveals Normalisation of the Retinal Microglial Transcriptome Following Acute Inflammation

Background: Whether retinal microglia can maintain or restore immune homeostasis during and after inflammation is unclear. We performed single-eye mRNA-sequencing on microglia at different timepoints following a single inflammatory stimulus...

Loss of PRSS56 function leads to ocular angle defects and increased susceptibility to high intraocular pressure

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting up to 70 million people worldwide. High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma. It is well established that inefficient aqueous humor (AqH) outflow resulting from s...

Family and community resilience: a Photovoice study

Abstract Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), in combination with adverse community environments, can result in traumatic stress reactions, increasing a person’s risk for chronic physical and mental health conditions. Family res...

Cartilage lesions resulting frorm intraarticular corticosteroid injections

Abstract In eight of a total of 53 diagnostic arthroscopy cases, cartilage lesions and additional meniscus lesions resulting frorm intaraticular corticosteroid injections were identified between September 1987 and July 1988.Three...

High posterior tibial slope increases anterior cruciate ligament elongation in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty during early-flexion of lunge

Abstract Background In-silico and in-vitro studies have revealed an appropriate posterior tibial slope (PTS) is critical for normal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tension and knee biomechanical behavi...

Personal Protective Equipment-Related Nasal Bridge Folliculitis in a Corona Warrior

Nasal bridge is a common site suffering personal protective equipment-induced skin damages over face among first-line health care workers in this coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. We hereby report folliculitis as a complication following r...

Bio-Engineered Graphene-Based Cage for Efficient Local Enrichment and Biodegradation of Aqueous Organic Wastes

Abstract Microorganism immobilization has attracted great attention as a traditional method to overcome aqueous organic wastes containing N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In this approach, graphene oxide was modified with functional polymer fi...

Maternal cardiovascular adaptation to twin pregnancy: a population-based prospective cohort study

Abstract Background In women with singleton pregnancies, maternal adaptation is considered a stress test for later life cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to assess maternal adaptation in women with twin pregnancies compared ...

Combinations C-shaped root canals in mandibular premolars and second mandibular molars with each other and with the complex channels of other teeth of the lower jaw according to the cone-beam computed tomography

From 340 CBCT included in this study, 65 patients (19.1%) found a C-shaped root canals in the mandibular first premolars, 13 patients (3.8%) - C-shaped root canals in mandibular second premolars, 34 (10%) patients - in the mandibular second...

Hydrostatic Pressure Affects In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes and Follicles and Increases Granulosa Cell Death

Objective: This study examines the effects of hydrostatic pressure on in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes derived from in vitro grown follicles.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, preantral follicles were isolated from 12-da...

Recuperação Completa de Doente com Carcinoma da Próstata Estádio IV Durante a Pandemia COVID-19

A doença causada pelo coronavírus (COVID-19), inicialmente descrita em Wuhan, China, foi recentemente declarada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) como uma pandemia global. A idade avançada e a presença de comorbilidades, característic...

Microenvironment‐adaptive nanodecoy synergizes bacterial eradication, inflammation alleviation, and immunomodulation in promoting biofilm‐associated diabetic chronic wound healing cascade

Abstract The presence of bacterial biofilms and the occurrence of excessive inflammatory response greatly imped the healing process of chronic wounds in diabetic patients. However, effective strategies to simultaneously address these issues...
