- Noninvasive prenatal testing: from aneuploidy to single genesAbstract Noninvasive prenatal testing has undergone rapid advances in the last few years. Although researchers have long known about circulating pregnancy-based cell-free fragments of DNA in maternal plasma, it was the introduction of massively parallel sequencing that allowed noninvasive prenatal testing to become a widely used clinical test. This review will begin with an in-depth analysis of the use of noninvasive prenatal t
- The significance of the placental genome and methylome in fetal and maternal healthAbstract The placenta is a crucial organ for supporting a healthy pregnancy, and defective development or function of the placenta is implicated in a number of complications of pregnancy that affect both maternal and fetal health, including maternal preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and spontaneous preterm birth. In this review, we highlight the role of the placental genome in mediating fetal and maternal health by discus
- Biallelic variants in AGMO with diminished enzyme activity are associated with a neurodevelopmental disorderAbstract Alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO) is the only enzyme known to cleave the O-alkyl bonds of ether lipids (alkylglycerols) which are essential components of cell membranes.

HILTON, C. PUETT, J. DEAN, A. MOL, E. PLATINBackgroundThe first generation stationary intraoral tomosynthesis (sIOT) device, developed at University of North Carolina (UNC), provides 3-D information in intraoral imaging with a speed and dose comparable with those of traditional intraoral radiography. Initial resea

MUTALIK, A. MAINKAR, M. JURADO, S.S. VELASCO, A. TADINADABackgroundCone beam computed tomography (CBCT) units provide different fields of view (FOVs) for different clinical applications. Small FOV scans are often used in endodontic treatment planning. However, endodontic pathology is also detected as an incidental

MAGO, S. MUTALIK, A. GOPALAKRISHNA, A. TADINADABackgroundTraditionally, interproximal caries has been diagnosed radiographically by intraoral bitewing radiographs. Although this has been the conventional practice, the challenge of accommodating the film/ image receptor in the mouth, especially in patients with a g
- COMPARISON OF PHOTOTHERMAL RADIOMETRY AND MODULATED LUMINESCENCE, INTRAORAL RADIOGRAPHY, AND CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR DETECTION OF NATURAL CARIES UNDER RESTORATIONSPublication date: October 2019Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, Volume 128, Issue 4Author(s): A.F. DAYO, B. AMAECHI, M. NOUJEIM, T. DEAHL, P. GAKUNGA, R. KATKARBackgroundIntraoral radiographs (IR) are commonly used to evaluate for caries but require approximately 30% to 40% mineral loss before detection, thereby necessitating techniques with a high sensitivity index for early detection.
