Abstract:
... Osteocraniostenosis (OCS, OMIM #602361) is a severe, usually lethal condition characterized by gracile bones with thin diaphyses, a cloverleaf-shaped skull and splenic hypo/aplasia. The condition is caused by heterozygous mutations in the FAM111A gene and is allelic to the non-lethal, dominant disorder Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS, OMIM #127000). Here we report two new cases of OCS, including one wi ...

Abstract:
... Vascular embolization is a non-surgical procedure used to treat diseases or morbid conditions related to blood vessels, such as bleeding, arteriovenous malformation, aneurysm, and hypervascular tumors, through the intentional occlusion of blood vessels. Among various types of embolic agents that have been applied, liquid embolic agents are gaining an increasing amount of attention owing to their a ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Congenital vertebral body malformations (CVBMs) have retrospectively been investigated in British and American canine populations. This study prospectively evaluates occurrence, localization, type and characteristic of CVBM along the entire vertebral column in a cohort of French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs and Pug dogs from Germany. METHODS: Prospective clinical and radiological screeni ...

Abstract:
... An 18 hour old foal presented with a suspected meconium impaction. There was no response to treatment and a tentative diagnosis of atresia coli (AC) was made. Surgical intervention was declined and the foal was euthanased 12 hours after admission. Type 3 AC was confirmed on post-mortem examination, with the colon ending at the left ventral colon. A 1080ᵒ large colon volvulus (LCV) at the sternal f ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is common in brachycephalic breeds and comprises multiple anatomic characteristics. Computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used in the preoperative assessment of dogs presenting with BOAS. We describe the case of a French Bulldog with a presumed congenital hyoid malformation and anatomic comparison of hyoid morphology between French B ...

Abstract:
... The periderm is a corky tissue that replaces the epidermis when the latter is damaged, and is critical for preventing pathogen invasion and water loss. The periderm is formed through the meristematic activity of phellogen cells (cork cambium). The potato skin (phellem cells) composes the outer layers of the tuber periderm and is a model for studying cork development. Early in tuber development and ...

Abstract:
... PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) is a series of congenital, sporadic disorders that are associated with segmental overgrowth phenotypes and postzygotic, somatic gene mutations in the PIK3CA-ATK-mTOR pathway. The variability and overlapping phenotypes between PROS and other complex vascular malformations make the differential diagnosis confusing and challenging. PROS should be considered f ...

Abstract:
... Observations of the osteological features of malformations in lizards are currently limited. In examinations of ca. 1,300 Scincella specimens, one Scincella lateralis specimen and three S. boettgeri specimens were observed to have malformed digits, i.e., ectrodactyly. Each of these specimens had a malformation in only one limb. One S. lateralis specimen lacked digits I–III of manus, and three S. b ...

Abstract:
... Grain size and weight are closely related to the yield of cereal crops. Abnormal development of the embryo, an important part of the grain, not only affects crop yield but also impacts next-generation survival. Here, we found that maize GSK3-like kinase ZmSK2, a homolog of BIN2 in Arabidopsis, is involved in embryonic development. ZmSK2 overexpression resulted in severe BR defective phenotypes and ...

Abstract:
... During biological detection, the toxicity caused by probes to living organisms is neglected. In this study, an analyte-compensated fluorescent probe (NP-SN₃) was constructed for the detection of H₂S. Through experiments with HepG2 cells and zebrafish embryos and larvae, the NP-SN₃ probe showed no significant difference in imaging performance compared with the traditional probe (NP-N₃) but exhibite ...

Abstract:
... Ribosomes, the cellular organelles translating the genetic code to proteins, are assemblies of RNA chains and many proteins (RPs) arranged in precise fine‐tuned interwoven structures. Mutated ribosomal genes cause ribosomopathies, including Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA, a rare heterogeneous red‐cell aplasia connected to ribosome malfunction) or failed biogenesis. Combined bioinformatical, structur ...

Abstract:
... Granulosa cells (GCs) play a crucial role in follicular development and atresia. Previous studies have showed that GCs in the form of monolayer influenced in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes. However, the effects of GCs in the form of conditioned medium and monolayer on IVM and development competence of buffalo oocytes remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the impacts of GC‐conditione ...

Abstract:
... Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss have been intensively studied and gametogenesis has been described, but the use of reproductive indices in field studies has not been widely applied when assessing variability in growth or recruitment dynamics. We integrated descriptions for gametogenesis within the framework of standardized terminology for reproductive development in teleosts to develop sex‐speci ...

Abstract:

We aimed to explore the molecular etiology of fetal TE and examine the detection rate by CMA, which provides more information for the clinical screening and genetic counseling of TE. Methods: In this retrospecti ...

Abstract:
... The treatment of large quantities of 4-CP wastewater produced in chemical industries has attracted considerable attention due to its high biotoxicity and refractory nature. The heterogeneous Fenton system initiated by carbon-based iron material (HACO-P) was applied to degrade the high concentration 4-CP (2 g/L) wastewater under ambient condition. HACO-P presented excellent adsorption performance w ...

Disorders that result from de-arrangement of growth, development and/or differentiation of the appendages (limbs and digit) are collectively called as inherited abnormalities of human appendicular skeleton. The bones of appendicular skeleton have central role in locomotion and movement. The different types of appendicular skeletal abnormalities are well described in the report of “Nosology and Cla ...

Estimate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of EEG findings: centrotemporal spikes, photoparoxysmal response, asymmetric photic driving, and asymmetric sleep spindles, for epilepsy phenotype and presence of structural brain abnormalities. In this case-control study we reviewed children referred for EEG over a 4-year period, with at least o ...

Abstract:
... The number of man-made chemicals has increased rapidly in recent decades, with certain chemicals potentially causing malformations in fetuses. Although the toxicities of chemicals have been tested in animals, chemicals that are not teratogenic in rodents can cause severe malformations in humans, owing to the differences in the susceptibility to the teratogenicity of chemicals among species. One po ...

Nanoparticles (NPs) with feature sizes ranging between 1 nm and 100 nm have increasingly gained momentum for their versatile functionality as the pharmaceutical agents in many branches of biomedical research and clinical experiments. However, NPs’ inherent material toxicity and the concomitant adverse effects of their function, such as photo-physical properties, often remain a major concern over t ...
