Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) remains common in developing countries. Cerebrovascular infarct (CI) in TBM occurs in 15%-57% of patients. Literature regarding the predictors of central nervous system (CNS) infarct in patients with TBM is scanty, and the outcome of these events is unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictors of CI…Read more

PREMISE In the complex soil nutrient environments of wild populations of annual plants, in general, low nutrient availability restricts growth and alters root-shoot relationships. However, our knowledge of natural selection on roots in field settings is limited. We sought to determine whether selection acts directly on root traits and to identify…Read more

The aim of this study was to investigate divergence of bacteria degrading model proteins of food-processing wastewater. Gelatin and gluten were used as substrate to represent animal and plant proteins from food wastes, respectively. The inocula were obtained from eight full-scale anaerobic digestion reactors. Food-to-microorganism ratio was 3 g…Read more

These results emphasize that radiation-induced DNA breaks are less repairable than enzymatically induced DNA breaks, which is not apparent when using conventional gel electrophoresis assays of plasmid DNA.Oral mucositis is a common adverse reaction of radiotherapy used for head and neck cancers. Our research investigates the therapeutic effect and…Read more

and governmental organizations, industrial companies, and local communities on how to understand spatial and temporal distributions of arsenic contamination and inform bioremediation efforts at various scales in the future.To address the clogging issues in stormwater filtration systems, a drinking water treatment residual (DWTR)-based granule…Read more

In summary, we show that the lysosomal NPC1 cholesterol transporter tunes the molecular content of Golgi and lysosome MCS to regulate intracellular trafficking and growth signaling in health and disease.

Previous studies have demonstrated that electrocochleography (ECochG) measurements made at the round window prior to cochlear implant (CI)…Read more

f sustained stent failure.The longitudinal clerkship has been recognized as an innovative, unique model in medical education that demonstrates significantly higher student and preceptor satisfaction with comparable long-term outcomes like performance on standardized examinations. At the center of this model is the student-preceptor relationship,…Read more

This comprehensive study suggests that using sequence conservation alone could be misleading in inferring protein and physiological function and highlights the power of combining behavioral experiments, expression analysis, and functional assays in molecular evolutionary studies.Runt domain-related (Runx) transcription factors are essential for…Read more

Therefore, a simple semicontinuous incubation system has been developed, which studies the rate and extent of fermentation by gas production at the time it allows for controlling medium pH and rate of passage by manual replacement of incubation medium by fresh saliva without including rumen inoculum. The application of this system to studies using…Read more
