Abstract Introduction Measuring early-life psychosocial stress is complicated by methodological challenges. This paper compares three survey instruments for the assessment of life in pregnancy/postpartum and investigates the effects of the timing of early-life stress for emotional/behavioral difficulties (EBD) of offspring during mid/late childhood and adolescence. Methods...

The origin of allergic disease has traditionally been explained by IgEmediated immune responses to account for asthma, atopic dermatitis, atopic rhinitis, and food allergy. Research insights into disease origins support broader array of factors that predispose, initiate, or exacerbate altered immunity in allergic diseases: inherent epithelial barrier dysfunction, loss of immune tolerance, disturbances in gut and organ-specific microbiomes, diet, and age. Here, we discuss these influences that together...

Live commencement ceremonies were among the many disruptions the COVID-19 pandemic created this spring, and the UW School of Dentistry was no exception. The outbreak forced the cancellation of the school’s traditional Hooding ceremony, in which students receive their doctoral hoods before an audience of family members, spouses, and friends. The post Dental school creates “virtual commencement” video appeared first on UW School of Dentistry.

We report a case of microsecretory adenocarcinoma of the hard palate. The patient is a 37‐year‐old woman with a 15 mm submucosal tumor, which was incidentally found by her primary care dentist, in her hard palate. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor exhibiting high signal on T2‐weighted image, which was gradually enhanced on dynamic study. Histologically, the tumor border was ill‐defined without fibrous capsule and adjoined minor salivary gland with permeative infiltration at...

Abstract Amyloids are pathological hallmarks of a number of debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the molecular mechanism of protein amyloid assembly with an emphasis on structural characterization of early, key prefibrillar species is important for targeted drug design and clinical interventions. Tau is an intrinsically disordered, microtubule-binding protein which is also implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders such as frontotemporal dementia, Down’s...

Abstract Oral scanners allow dental impressions to be taken in a short time without the use of an impression material. However, it has been noted that high impression accuracy cannot be obtained in cases where the abutment is inclined or in cases where the span is long. Consequently, in daily clinical practice, impressions are often created using silicone impression material. When taking an impression using silicone impression material, the curing time or the removal time of the...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 7, July 2020. After primary dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacillus infection that is localized in liver, disease progression and changes to immune function in the body occur. Various forms of tuberculosis, including granuloma, caseous necrosis, liquefactive necrosis, fibrosis, and calcification, occur that could be presented at different stages, and imaging examination shows findings that are consistent with these stages. Not...

Abstract Purpose Precise segmentation of brain lesions is essential for neurological research. Specifically, resection volume estimates can aid in the assessment of residual postoperative tissue, e.g. following surgery for glioma. Furthermore, behavioral lesion-symptom mapping in epilepsy relies on accurate delineation of surgical lesions. We sought to determine whether semi- and fully automatic segmentation methods can be applied to...

How can anthropologists approach the influence of economists? The COVID-19 pandemic and how to mitigate its effects is only one recent public and policy issue on which anthropologists can contribute significant insights and solutions. Yet in policy debates and the media, anthropologists do not have an impact proportional to their insight. Despite actual and potential contributions of anthropologists to global problem-solving, anthropological influence has been far less than that of economics. [pquote]Anthropologists...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the neuroprotective effect of L-alanyl-glutamine in a gerbil model of brain ischemia-reperfusion injury based on immunohistochemical quantification of pro-inflammatory and cell activation biomarkers (TNF-α, NF-κB, IL-6 and HO-1). Methods Male gerbils weighing 100-180 g were pretreated with either 0.75 g/kg L-Ala-Gln (n=18) or 2.0 mL saline (n=18) administered i.v. 30 minutes before the bilateral ligation of the common carotid artery during 15 min and then the ligation...

Abstract Background Advances in medical imaging, segmentation techniques, and high performance computing have stimulated the use of complex, patient‐specific, threedimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. Patient‐specific, CFD‐compatible geometries of the aortic valve are readily obtained. CFD can then be used to obtain the patient‐specific pressure‐flow relationship of the aortic valve. However, such CFD simulations are computationally expensive, and real‐time alternatives...

Pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma are two conditions characterized by pigment dispersion originating from the posterior part of the iris and its accumulation on the trabecular meshwork, corneal endothelium, and anterior surface of the lens. The pigment on the trabecular meshwork can cause chronic inflammation with a secondary reduction of its function and an increase in intraocular pressure. The case presented represents a typical example of pigmentary glaucoma in a myopic patient...
