... Background: Gastric impaction is an uncommon and potentially fatal condition in equids and is defined as a persistent accumulation of dry, firm ingesta within the stomach. Left untreated these impactions can progress to gastric rupture. However, gastric impactions present with non‐specific clinical signs of varying severity, making diagnosis challenging. While often diagnosed at referral practices ...
... Nowadays, still, the exact etiology of cancer remains to be uncovered. The understanding that cancer results from uncontrolled proliferation of cells does not provide a solution to curing cancer. Although several irreconciliable theories on the cause of cancer have been proposed, none explain the overall complexity of the disease. Yet, there is the remarkable discovery that the Egg Cell’s Genetic ...
... In nutritional epidemiology, the traditional approach consists of estimating the association between single food/food group or nutrient and the risk of a health event, accounting for confounding factors. New methods have been developed to look at food as a whole through holistic approaches. Initially, two types of methods have been described: a priori methods based on dietary scores and a posterio ...
... Deficiencies of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and surpluses of food items, such as sucrose and artificial food additives, have not convincingly been shown to be involved in the etiology of ADHD. At group level, there is no conclusive evidence supporting dietary interventions for the treatment of ADHD. The identification of a role of food compounds in ADHD ...

Abstract:
... There is a steadily growing interest in the use of mitochondria as therapeutic agents. The use of mitochondria derived from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) for therapeutic purposes represents an innovative approach to treat many diseases (immune deregulation, inflammation-related disorders, wound healing, ischemic events, and aging) with an increasing amount of promising evidence, ranging fr ...

Abstract:
... There is growing interest in understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying dyslexia. Accordingly, the literature on dyslexia is replete with shreds of evidence linking genes and their genetic markers with dyslexia among different populations. Even though genetic inquiries into dyslexia in the Asian population has gained interest in recent years, very little is known about the genes and their pol ...

Abstract:
... Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive corneal degeneration characterized by structural changes consisting of progressive thinning and steepening of the cornea. These alterations result in biomechanical weakening and, clinically, in vision loss. While the etiology of KC has been the object of study for over a century, no single agent has been found. Recent reviews suggest that KC is a multifactorial di ...

Abstract:
... IEI-EMF refers to an environmental illness whose primary feature is the occurrence of symptoms that are attributed to exposure to weak electromagnetic fields (EMFs). There is a growing evidence that this condition is characterized by marked individual differences thus a within-subject approach might add important information beyond the widely used nomothetic method. A mixed qualitative/quantitativ ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: GABAergic system dysfunction has been implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia and of cognitive impairments in particular. Patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) generally suffer from profound cognitive impairments in addition to severe positive symptoms, suggesting that GABA system dysfunction could be involved more closely in patients with TRS. METHODS AND RESULTS: ...

Abstract:
... Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a type of glaucoma with a normal appearance of anterior chamber angle. The molecular etiology of POAG is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the possible role of non-coding RNAs in POAG. The down-regulation patterns were observed for 2495 probs, and 5548 probs were up-regulated. These 8043 up/down-regulated probs bind to 4984 different genes. In POAG pati ...
... The present study included six dogs with different age, breed, body weight and etiological factors with distal third extraarticular femoral fractures, which were stabilized using K wires by cross pinning method. Postoperatively, the limbs were externally supported by Robert Jones bandage. Complete weight bearing on the operated limb while standing and walking was seen by 10ᵗʰ postoperative day in ...

Abstract:
... Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is the most common hereditary deafness. It is genetically highly heterogeneous and about 89 gene loci and 76 gene’s mutations have been implicated in the etiology of ARNSHL. Molecular basis of ARNSHL remains unresolved in 60% of cases and gene mutations are unknown for 23 of 89 reported loci. Techniques used to identify reported ARNSHL gene m ...

Abstract:
... Teduglutide has been described as an effective treatment for parenteral support (PS) reduction in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). However, a quantitative summary of the available evidence is still lacking. PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, OVID, and CINAHL databases were systematically searched up to July 2021 for studies reporting the rate of response (defined as a ≥20% reductio ...

Abstract:
... In our previous study, in which array CGH was used on 19 Lebanese ASD subjects and their parents, we identified rare copy number variants (CNVs) in 14 subjects. The five remaining subjects did not show any CNVs related to autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In the present complementary study, we applied whole-exome sequencing (WES), which allows the identification of rare genetic variations such as s ...

Abstract:
... Despite the increasing knowledge with regard to IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), the etiology of these conditions is still not fully understood. Apart from immunological, environmental and nutritional factors, which have already been well documented, it is worthwhile to look at the possible impact of genetic factors, as well as the compo ...

Abstract:
... Research suggests that both genetic and environmental risk factors are involved in the aetiology of schizophrenia (SCZ) and major depressive disorder (MDD). Importantly, environmental and genetic risk factors are often related as evidenced in gene–environment correlation (rGE), which describes the observation that genetic and environmental factors are associated with each other. It is understood t ...

Abstract:
... The long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in various biological processes and are associated with many diseases. Functional annotation of lncRNAs in diseases attracts great attention in understanding their etiology. However, the traditional co-expression-based analysis usually produces a significant number of false positive function assignments. It is thus crucial to develop a new app ...

Abstract:
... Background: For the veterinary pathologist, the ‘bread and butter’ of our work is the tissue slide stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E). This has long become globally recognised as the ‘standard’ stain, with haematoxylin highlighting the nuclei of cells dark blue and eosin staining the cytoplasm pink. With experience, the pathologist can recognise and interpret many subtle changes in intensit ...

Abstract:
... IEI-EMF refers to a self-reported sensitivity characterized by attribution of non-specific physical symptoms to exposure to weak EMFs. The majority of empirical results do not support the existence of a causal relationship between EMF and IEI-EMF. However, this conclusion was drawn from environmental and experimental studies that are not without methodological limitations. In the current study, as ...
