Widespread brain reorganization perturbs visuomotor coordination in early glaucoma
(2019-10-02)
Glaucoma is the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness, and falls are a major public health
concern in glaucoma patients. Although recent evidence suggests the involvements of the brain toward
advanced glaucoma ...
A Review of Studies Evaluating Insecticide Barrier Treatments for Mosquito Control From 1944 to 2018
(2019-06-26)
Background and Purpose: Barrier insecticide treatments have a long history in mosquito control programs but have been used more frequently in the United States in recent years for control of invasive “backyard” species ...
Genome-wide identification and characterization of HSP gene superfamily in whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and expression profiling analysis under temperature stress
(2019-02)
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are essential molecular chaperones that play important roles in the stress stimulation of insects. Bemisia tabaci, a phloem feeder and
invasive species, can cause extensive crop damage through ...
Assessment of Leaf Area Index of Rice for a Growing Cycle Using Multi-Temporal C-Band PolSAR Datasets
(2019-11-12)
C-band polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data has been previously explored
for estimating the leaf area index (LAI) of rice. Although the rice-growing cycle was partially covered in
most of the studies, ...
Cap-Independent mRNA Translation in Germ Cells
(2019-01-04)
Cellular mRNAs in plants and animals have a 50-cap structure that is accepted as the
recognition point to initiate translation by ribosomes. Consequently, it was long assumed that the
translation initiation apparatus was ...
Burden of Cardiovascular Risk Factors Over Time and Arterial Stiffness in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study
(2019-07-02)
Background: The incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children is increasing, resulting in higher burden of cardiovascular diseases due to diabetes mellitus–related vascular dysfunction.
Methods and Results: We ...
Calibrating TrueBeam jaws by considering collimator walk out to improve the dose uniformity at abutting field junctions
(2019-01-11)
Jaw positions on a linear accelerator are calibrated to have accurate field size values over the range of jaw positions and to have excellent junctions when matching fields. It is sufficient to have field size accuracy on ...
Autopsy Standardized Mortality Review: A Pilot Study Offering a Methodology for Improved Patient Outcomes
(2019-02-12)
A standardized mortality review of hospital autopsies identified discrepancies between clinical diagnoses and autopsy findings, unexpected deaths, adequacy of diagnostic workup, presence of adverse event, and type of a ...
Effects of Stathmin 1 Gene Knockout on Behaviors and Dopaminergic Markers in Mice Exposed to Social Defeat Stress
(2019-08-26)
Stathmin (STMN), a microtubule-destabilizing factor, can regulate fear, anxiety, and learning. Social defeat stress (SDS) has detrimental effects on mental health and increases the risk of various psychiatric diseases. ...
Epigenetic re-wiring of breast cancer by pharmacological targeting of C-terminal binding protein
(2019-08-08)
The C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) is an NADH-dependent dimeric family of nuclear proteins that scaffold interactions between transcriptional regulators and chromatin-modifying complexes. Its association with poor ...
