Docking technology for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) involves energy supply, data exchange and navigation, and plays an important role to extend the endurance of the AUVs. The navigation method used in the transition between AUV homing and docking influences subsequent tasks. How to improve the accuracy of the navigation in this stage is…[Read more]

We examined the hypothesis that baseline retinal vascular geometry in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) predicts disease activity 6 months after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP).

We included 47 eyes from 40 patients with treatment-naïve PDR in a 6-month prospective study. Diagnosis of PDR and disease activity was ev…[Read more]

Acute retroviral syndrome is the symptomatic presentation of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which often manifests as a self-limited infectious mononucleosis-like syndrome and occurs 2 to 6 weeks after exposure to HIV. Atypical manifestations including hepatitis, meningitis, or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis have been…[Read more]

Human cannabinoid receptor type 1 (hCB1R) plays important roles in the regulation of appetite and development of addictive behaviors. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, photocharacterization, molecular docking, and in vitro characterization of “photo-rimonabant”, i.e., azo-derivatives of the selective hCB1R antagonist SR1411716A…[Read more]

Integrating satisfaction measures with pain-related variables can highlight global change and improvement from the patients’ perspective. This study examined patient satisfaction in an interdisciplinary chronic pain management program. Nine hundred and twenty-seven (n = 927) participants completed pre- and post-treatment measures of pain,…[Read more]

h proteins/peptide remarkably increases acid-resistant proteins in the AEP, protecting against erosive demineralization. These findings open an avenue for a new preventive approach for erosive demineralization, employing acquired pellicle engineering procedures that may in the future be incorporated into dental products.

To investigate the…[Read more]

Management of MPM is complex and controversial as there is a paucity of good quality evidence. We report the toxicity and outcomes in patients who received trimodality treatment for non-metastatic MPM at our institution.

We reviewed the electronic medical records of surgically managed MPM patients at our institution in the last decade.…[Read more]

There was no hyperacute rejection in the immediate postoperative phase. Outcomes 6 months postoperatively are promising. We provide proof-of-concept that facial retransplantation is a viable option for patients who suffer irreversible facial vascularized composite allograft loss.

Transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) amyloidosis cardiomyopathy is an…[Read more]

suis. Moreover, using the ΔperR mutant generated by this method, we demonstrated that PmtA, a ferrous iron and cobalt efflux pump in S. suis, was negatively regulated by the PerR regulator.The virus responsible for the pandemic that has affected 152 countries worldwide is a new strain of coronavirus (CoV), which belongs to a family of viruses…[Read more]
