Admixture has the potential to facilitate adaptation by providing alleles that are immediately adaptive in a new environment or by simply increasing the long term reservoir of genetic diversity for future adaptation. A growing number of cases of adaptive introgression are being identified in species across the tree of life, however the timing of selection, and therefore the importance of the different evolutionary roles of admixture, is typically unknown. Here, we investigate the spatio-temporal...

Abstract Objective To estimate the risk of developing autoimmune disease in patients diagnosed having recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) through a nationwide population‐based cohort study Methods This study included two group of patients ’patients who had three or more episodes with aphthae diagnosed from their physician (RAS group) and a similar matched group of patients without aphthae (control group). Both groups were collected within the period of 2005‐2007 from the Korean National...
Abstract Background Periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus (DM) are highly prevalent and interrelated diseases, resulting in altered host response microbiota. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of DM on local levels of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Lipoteichoic Acid (LTA) and their relationship with cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) profile. Methods This case‐control study included diabetic (n=15) and non‐diabetic (n=15) subjects presenting Stage 3‐4, Grade C,...
Abstract Objectives To compare the efficacy of Photobiomodulation to that of topical clobetasol 0.05% in patients with symptomatic oral lichen planus (OLP). Subjects Thirty‐four patients with symptomatic OLP were randomly allocated into two groups: (1) the Control group (n=17), application of topical clobetasol propionate 0.05% three times a day for 30 consecutive days with laser placebo applied twice a week to mask the treatment and (2) the photobiomodulation group (n=17), laser application...
Abstract Objectives To determine whether treatment with tacrolimus plus sirolimus (Tac/Sir) as a prophylaxis for graft‐versus‐host disease worsens severe oral mucositis and delays healing compared to cyclosporine plus methotrexate (CsA/Mtx) following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Subjects and Methods The study comprised 141 patients: 73 randomized to receive Tac/Sir and 68, to receive CsA/Mtx. The oral mucositis assessment scale and toxicity grading according to WHO were used...
ABSTRACT Objective The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of non‐surgical periodontal treatment on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) periostin levels in patients with gingivitis (G) and periodontitis (P). Subjects and Methods A total of 90 subjects, 30 patients with P, 30 with G and 30 periodontally healthy (H) subjects were included. Patients with periodontal disease received non‐surgical periodontal treatment. GCF periostin levels were assessed at baseline, at the 6th week...
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of luteolin (Lu) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)–induced colitis in mice. Mice spleen was weighed. The length of colon was measured. H&E staining was used to observe the pathological changes of colon in mice. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and intestine of mice were detected by commercial kits. Serum and intestinal cytokines were detected...
Abstract Objectives To identify predictorsofacceptable hearing at five‐weeks, six‐ and 12 months in children with bilateral Otitis Media with Effusion (OME). Design and setting Secondary analysis of OSTRICH data, conducted in hospital Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) and paediatric audiology andaudiovestibular medicine departments across Wales and England. Participants The OSTRICH study included 389 children aged two to eight years with bilateral hearing loss attributable toOME for at least...
Nigella A, also named Sieboldianoside A, has been extracted from many kinds of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), such as Nigella glandulifera, Stauntonia chinensis DC., and the leaves of Acanthopanax sieboldian...

Abstract Photosynthetic microorganisms convert carbon dioxide and solar radiation into interesting bioactive compounds not yet entirely explored. Several species of microalgae are known to be rich in colored high-valuable components that, although remarkable, are poorly explored as natural sources of pigments for cosmetics. Pigments associated to photosynthetic activity include chlorophyll, β-carotene, astaxanthin, xanthophylls, and phycobiliproteins,...
Haplodiploidy and paternal genome elimination (HD/PGE) are common in animals, having evolved at least two dozen times. HD/PGE typically evolves from male heterogamety (i.e., systems with X chromosomes), however why X chromosomes are important for the evolution of HD/PGE remains debated. The Haploid Viability Hypothesis argues that X chromosomes promote the evolution of male haploidy by facilitating purging recessive deleterious mutations. The Intragenomic Conflict Hypothesis instead argues that X...
Mycorrhizal type, pollination, and seed dispersal mode are key drivers of tree diversity, but because they are usually studied in isolation, their evolutionary relationships are poorly understood. We investigated the evolutionary relationships among mycorrhizal type (arbuscular mycorrhizal [AM], ectomycorrhizal [EM], and AM + EM), seed dispersal mode (anemochorous, endozoochorous, and unspecialized), and pollination mode (biotic and wind) in 821 tree species. We found evidence of joint evolution...
Background In this study we aimed to identify inflammatory patterns and predictors associated with clinical outcomes in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients with different blood and tissue eosinophilia. Methods A total of 535 CRSwNP patients were enrolled, and the expression of 35 biomarkers, together with eosinophil and neutrophil counts in nasal polyps, were analyzed in a subset of 249 patients. Patients were stratified on the basis of blood (≥0.5 × 109/L) and tissue...
Medical errors are a continuing concern for healthcare providers, including audiologists. This presentation will identify common clinical errors in audiology practices and review steps to minimize adverse outcomes.
