Gemella Species Bacteremia and Stroke in an Elderly Patient with Respiratory Tract Infection
(2017-01-02)
Gemella species are part of normal human flora. They are rarely associated with infections. As opportunistic pathogens, they can cause life-threatening infection in individuals with risk factors. We present an unusual case ...
It’s not what you expect: feedback negativity is independent of reward expectation and affective responsivity in a non-probabilistic task
(2017-03)
ERP studies commonly utilize gambling-based reinforcement tasks to elicit feedback negativity (FN) responses. This study used a pattern learning task in order to limit gambling-related fallacious reasoning and possible ...
Impaired contractile function of the supraspinatus in the acute period following a rotator cuff tear
(2017-11-09)
Background: Rotator cuff (RTC) tears are a common clinical problem resulting in adverse changes to the muscle, but there is limited information comparing histopathology to contractile function. This study assessed supraspinatus ...
Fractional Flow Reserve/ Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Discordance in Angiographically Intermediate Coronary Stenoses: An Analysis Using Doppler-Derived Coronary Flow Measurements
(2017-12-26)
OBJECTIVES The study sought to determine the coronary flow characteristics of angiographically intermediate stenoses classified as discordant by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR).
BACKGROUND ...

MicroRNA expression profiles during cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) fiber early development
(2017-03-22)
The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) during cotton fiber development remains unclear. Here, a total of
54 miRNAs belonging to 39 families were selected to characterize miRNA regulatory mechanism in eight different fiber development ...
Karyotype analysis and sex determination in Australian Brush-turkeys (Alectura lathami)
(2017-09-14)
Sexual differentiation across taxa may be due to genetic sex determination (GSD) and/or temperature sex determination (TSD). In many mammals, males are heterogametic (XY); whereas females are homogametic (XX). In most ...
