We aimed to comprehensively and systematically review studies associating key foot-loading factors (i.e., plantar pressure, weight-bearing activity, adherence or a combination thereof) with ulcer development and ulcer healing in people with diabetes. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE. We included studies if barefoot…[Read more]

The binding between CUL3 and BTB proteins is essential for CRL substrate recognition, and alteration of their interaction is thought to result in the quantitative alteration in substrate proteins. It is possible that the difference of dysmorphic features between the present case and previously reported cases is caused by the distinctive effect of…[Read more]

Conventional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) devices use piezoelectric transducers to electrically generate and receive US. With this paradigm, there are numerous challenges that restrict improvements in image quality. First, with miniaturization of the transducers to reduce device size, it can be challenging to achieve the sensitivities and…[Read more]

Gastric motility disorders are associated with bioelectrical abnormalities in the stomach. Recently, gastric ablation has emerged as a potential therapy to correct gastric dysrhythmias. However, the tissue-level effects of gastric ablation have not yet been evaluated. In this study, radiofrequency ablation was performed in vivo in pigs (n=7) at…[Read more]

Two-photon (2P) fluorescence imaging can provide background-free high-contrast images from the scattering tissues. However, obtaining a multiplane image is not straightforward. Bromelain datasheet We present a two-photon volume holographic imaging (2P-VHI) system for multiplane imaging.

Our goal was to design and implement a 2P-VHI system…[Read more]
