The heart is an essential organ with a fascinating developmental biology. It is also one of the organs that is most often affected in human disease, either during development or in postnatal life. Over the last few decades, insights into the development of the heart have led to fundamental new concepts in gene regulation, but also to genetic and…[Read more]

There were no significant joint effects, but potential non-linear relationships between metals mixture and TC or LDL-C levels were observed in BKMR analyses. Although consistent significantly associations of zinc and titanium with TG levels were found in both areas, the metals closely related to other lipid markers were varied by sites.…[Read more]

The limited-angle cone-beam Computed Tomography (CT) is often used in C-arm for clinical diagnosis with the advantages of cheap cost and radiation dose reduction. However, due to incomplete projection data, the 3-dimensional CT images reconstructed by conventional methods, such as the Feldkamp, Davis and Kres (FDK) algorithm , suffer from heavy…[Read more]

The worldwide increase in grapevine trunk diseases, mainly esca, represents a major threat for vineyard sustainability. Biocontrol of a pioneer fungus of esca, Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, was investigated here by deciphering the tripartite interaction between this trunk-esca pathogen, grapevine and the biocontrol-oomycete, Pythium oligandrum.…[Read more]

6%), deformed nail in 14 cases (24.6%), and cold hypersensitivity in 20 cases (35.1%). The mean duration of the disease was 2.3 years (1.2-5.6 years).

One of the most painful clinical conditions confirmed by comprehensive clinical assessment and cured dramatically by complete surgical excision.

One of the most painful clinical…[Read more]

Interference from related memories is generally considered one of the major causes of forgetting in human memory. The most prevalent form of interference may be proactive interference (PI), which refers to the finding that memory of more recently studied information can be impaired by the previous study of other information. PI is a fairly…[Read more]
