Oxidative stress levels and oral bacterial milieu in the saliva from pregnant vs. non-pregnant women
Abstract Background Saliva plays a significant role in maintaining oral health and oral bacterial milieu. Difference in oxidative stress (OS) levels in saliva in conjunction with bacterial load between pregnant and non-pregnant women has not been studied previously. We hypothesized that the physiological changes in pregnancy alter oral bacterial milieu by promoting growth of Streptococcus mutans (SM) and Lactobacillus (LB), and...

Abstract To study the anatomical success rate of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASERS) as first line of management in stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Observational, prospective case series of 14 eyes of 7 babies (males: 3, females: 4) with stage 4A ROP who underwent LASERS for stage 4A between January 2018 and July 2019. Gestation age (GA), birth weight (BW), and post-menstrual age (PMA) at which laser was done were noted in all cases. A number...

Abstract The aim of the current study was to examine the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and electroencephalogram‐based neural oscillations, using midfrontal theta, during an inhibitory control task in children. One‐hundred seventy‐one school‐aged children (mean age = 8.9 ± 0.6 years; 46% girls) were recruited. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by a test of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2peak) while inhibitory control performance was measured via a modified flanker task with an...

Abstract While sentence processing is generally a highly incremental and predictive process, negation seems to present an exception to this generalization. Two‐step models of negation processing claim that predicate negation is computed only after the meaning of the core proposition has been computed. Several ERP studies eliciting the N400 (an index of semantic integration or lexical expectation) have found a “negation‐blind” pattern of N400 results, suggesting that the negation has not been integrated...

Abstract Rectal cancer has the eighth highest cancer incidence worldwide, and it is increasing in young individuals. However, in countries with a high human development index, mortality is decreasing, which may reflect better patient management, imaging being key. We rely on imaging to establish the great majority of clinical tumour features for therapeutic decision-making, namely tumour location, depth of invasion, lymph node involvement, circumferential resection margin status...

Abstract The present study explored whether individual differences in implicit learning were related to the incorporation of waking events into dreams. Participants (N = 60) took part in a sequence learning task, a measure of implicit learning ability. They were then asked to keep a record of their waking experiences (personally significant events [PSEs]/major concerns), as well as their nightly dreams for a week. Of these, the responses of 51 participants were suitable for further analysis in which...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 9, September 2020. ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of two different treatment approaches for auricular pseudocyst.MethodsThis retrospective study reviewed data from patients with auricular pseudocyst that were treated with either anterior wall resection plus radiofrequency ablation compression (surgical group) or simple aspiration and compression suturing (control group). The following outcomes were compared between the two groups: therapeutic...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 9, September 2020. ObjectiveTo identify key genes in ovarian cancer using transcriptome sequencing in two cell lines: MCV152 (benign ovarian epithelial tumour) and SKOV-3 (ovarian serous carcinoma).MethodsDifferentially expressed genes (DEGs) between SKOV-3 and MCV152 were identified. Candidate genes were assessed for enrichment in gene ontology function and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes pathway. Candidate gene expression in SKOV-3...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 9, September 2020. ObjectiveA growing body of evidence suggests chronic inflammation triggers the process of endometrial carcinogenesis. Interleukin (IL) 17A is an important proinflammatory factor involved in the tumour angiogenesis processes of many solid tumours. This study aimed to characterize the function of IL17A in endometrioid-type endometrial carcinoma.MethodsLevels of IL17A in human endometrial tissues were analysed by immunohistochemistry....

Emilio de las HerasLa acción humana en el medio ecológico tiene hoy más que ver con la adaptación del medio ecológico a nosotros que con nuestra adaptación, como una especie más, dentro de él.Hemos levantado un muro muy alto que nos separa del resto de la naturaleza y, dentro de nuestras murallas sofisticadas tecnológica y económicamente, seguimos llevando en nuestro interior a un primate que aulla, aunque sintamos que somos, o bien distintos a los animales y otros seres vivos (con una naturaleza...
