Vision loss with clinical findings that are incompatible with the symptoms and recognized neurological or ophthalmic conditions is a common presentation of patients to neurologists, ophthalmologists, and neuro-ophthalmologists. The accepted terminology to describe such patients has evolved over time including functional visual disorder (FVD),…[Read more]

One of the identified clusters was shown to be prognostic for clinical outcome after standard-of-care adjuvant chemotherapy and outperformed current intrinsic molecular breast cancer classifications.The electro-optical properties of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films are highly dependent on the features of the contained liquid crystal…[Read more]

thelial glycocalyx may also act as a mechanosensor of shear to regulate EC apoptosis, thus affecting leaky junctions and regulating LDL transport.Objective. Motor imagery (MI) is widely used to improve technical skills in sports and has been proven to be effective in neurorehabilitation and surgical education. This review aims to identify the key…[Read more]

cancer patients. Further investigation is needed to establish whether radiodensity-based detailed skeletal muscle quantification could be early biomarker to predict prognosis in NSCLC.

The proportion of low attenuation muscle was associated with DFS in resected lung cancer patients. Further investigation is needed to establish whether…[Read more]

Gait analysis has been used for decades to quantify knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis; however, it is unknown whether and to what extent inter-laboratory differences affect the comparison of gait data between studies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to perform an inter-laboratory comparison of knee biomechanics and muscle…[Read more]

This study examined whether using an artificial neural network (ANN) helps beginners in diagnostic cardiac imaging to achieve similar results to experts when interpreting stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). One hundred and thirty-eight patients underwent stress MPI with Tc-labeled agents. An expert and a beginner interpreted stress/rest MPI…[Read more]

It is unclear whether the coronary microvascular responses to multiple, mechanistically distinct hyperaemic agents exert similar dilatory responses or share common clinical predictors. 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine This study therefore sought to characterize the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) response to multiple hyperaemic agents in the…[Read more]

It is the authors belief that there are advantages to building on the work done by the AAPM and BIR, using the opportunity to amplify the statements, propagate the intent of the original statements, refine the message to deal with questions that have arisen since their publication. Α working group, Gonad and Patient Shielding (GAPS) has been…[Read more]

Understanding nano-bio interactions is pivotal to the safe implementation of nanotechnology for both biological and environmental applications. Zebrafish as a model organism provides unique opportunities to dissect nano-bio interactions occurring at different biological barriers. In this review, we focus on four key biological barriers, namely…[Read more]

The facultative bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) is strongly associated with periodontitis and is occasionally found in periodontally healthy subjects. We aimed to determine the prevalence of salivary Aa among patients with either periodontitis grade B (periodontitis-B) or grade C (periodontitis-C), periodontally healthy…[Read more]

ATP-binding cassette(ABC) transporters are one of the largest protein families in organisms, with important effects in regulating plant growth and development, root morphology, transportation of secondary metabolites and resistance of stress. Environmental stress promotes the biosynthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites, which determines…[Read more]

We sought to examine the role of preoperative and 2nd postoperative day albumin levels as predictors for postoperative course in infants undergoing repair of congenital heart disease. This retrospective, single-center, observational study comprised consecutive infants younger than 1 year who had undergone repair of tetralogy of Fallot, ventricular…[Read more]
