- Isotopic evidence for anthropogenic lead exposure on a 17th/18th century Barbadian plantationAbstract Objectives To identify and characterize anthropogenic lead sources on a 17th/18th century Barbadian plantation and to test if lead isotope analyses can be used to identify the geographic origins of first‐generation African captives. Materials and Methods We carried out lead (Pb) isotope analyses on dental enamel samples from 24 individuals from the Newton Plantation Cemetery in Barbados, which had previously been analyzed for s

- Rapid Growth and Metabolism of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in Relation to Urine Composition [Reviews]Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains cause a majority of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Since UPEC strains can become antibiotic resistant, adjunct or alternate therapies are urgently needed. UPEC strains grow extremely rapidly in patients with UTIs. Thus, this review focuses on the relation between urine composition and UPEC growth and metabolism. Compilation of urinary components from two major data sources suggests the presence of s
- Early Events in Coccidioidomycosis [Reviews]Since its description nearly 130 years ago, hundreds of studies have deepened our understanding of coccidioidomycosis, also known as valley fever (VF), and provided useful diagnostic tests and treatments for the disease caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides spp. In general, most of the literature has addressed well-established infections and has described patients who have experienced major complications. In contrast, little attention has be
- Weight of Salivary‐Gland Ultrasonography compared to Other items of the 2016 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria for Primary Sjögren’s SyndromeAbstract Objective Major Salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) is widely used for the diagnosis of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). Our objective was to assess the contribution of SGUS compared to other items of the 2016 ACR/EULAR pSS classification criteria, based on expert opinion. Methods A secure web‐based relational database was used by 24 experts from 14 countries to assess 512 realistic vignettes developed from data of patients
- Women Living with HIV in high‐income settings and BreastfeedingAbstract Guidelines in high‐income settings recommend breastfeeding avoidance among women living with HIV (WLWH). Increasingly WLWH in high‐income settings, who are well‐treated with fully suppressed viral loads, are choosing to breastfeed their infants, even with these recommendations. The purpose of this article is to review existing research and guidance on infant feeding among WLWH in high‐income countries, and to identify gaps in this evide

- Assessment of Long-term Depression Induction in Adult Cerebellar SlicesIn some gene-manipulated animals, using a single protocol may fail to induce LTD in cerebellar Purkinje cells, and there may be a discrepancy between LTD and motor learning. Multiple protocols are necessary to assess LTD-induction in gene-manipulated animals. Standard protocols are shown.

- Clinical effect of thumb finger reconstruction using dorsal foot flap transplant for treating thumb defectsPublication date: Available online 15 October 2019Source: Medical HypothesesAuthor(s): Z. Xuefeng, G. Jian, D. Jiayue, Z. Chuchen, W. Shenglin, Y. Xiao'enAbstractIt was found that conventional toe graft alone could not meet the patients' needs for wound repair, so we hypothesized that it would be more effective to treat thumb and finger defect by toe graft with dorsalis foot flap.This prospective study was conducted in 104 thumb defect patients t
- Bile acid abnormality induced by intestinal dysbiosis might explain lipid metabolism in Parkinson’s diseasePublication date: Available online 15 October 2019Source: Medical HypothesesAuthor(s): Yuhei Hasuike, Takuyuki Endo, Michiyo Koroyasu, Misa Matsui, Chiaki Mori, Misaki Yamadera, Harutoshi Fujimura, Saburo SakodaAbstractIntestinal dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the intestinal flora. The concept of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a condition of abnormal proliferation of the small intestine microbiota, has been proposed as a form
