Extract cytotoxicity testing showed that the hydrogel is not cytotoxic. The direct toxicity test also revealed the absence of toxicity, but the cells had difficulty migrating into the gel, probably because of its density. These data were confirmed by SEM. Further testing are ongoing to better understand the gel’s characteristics to improve the…[Read more]

n injections alleviate gland pain and swelling associated with salivary obstruction and provide an alternative to parotidectomy for recurrent sialadenitis.Level of evidence 4.

a guttata The presence of blebs, the presence of cell membrane defects and interruptions, as well as endothelial pictures with less than 50% of the cells having a hexagonal of circular shape. The presence of groups of cells with a distinct whitish color appears to be a weak predictor of cornea guttata.

Three semiquantitative criteria that can…[Read more]

Teprotumumab, a novel IGF-1R antibody was recently shown to significantly reduce the signs of active Thyroid eye disease (TED). The current study reviews its efficacy in chronic TED.

In this retrospective review, consecutive patients with chronic stable TED (>2 years), who had received ≥3 infusions of teprotumumab w…[Read more]

28; P < 0.001). The optimum ERA cut-off value was 0.5°, with a sensitivity of 68% and a specificity of 63%. The mean meniscal healing scores were 7.3 and 6.2 among patients with ERAs < 0.5° and those with ERAs ≥ 0.5°, respectively (P < 0.001).

This study demonstrated that the ERA was significantly correlated with the postoperative menisc…[Read more]

Background Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a serious threat to honey bees (Apis mellifera) and is considered a major cause of elevated losses of honey bee colonies. However, lack of information on the immunogenicity of DWV structural proteins has hindered the development of effective biocontrol drugs. Methods We optimized the VP1, VP2 and VP3 codons…[Read more]

Cerebrovascular imaging of rodents is one of the trending applications of optoacoustics aimed at studying brain activity and pathology. Imaging of deep brain structures is often hindered by sub-optimal arrangement of the light delivery and acoustic detection systems. In our work we revisit the physics behind opto-acoustic signal generation for…[Read more]
