Selected Aspects of Optical Coherence Tomography and Adaptive Optics in Patients with Increased Body Mass Index

Biomedicines
Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate correlations between Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Adaptive Optics (AO) of selected retinal parameters in individuals with increased BMI (≥25.0), including a subgroup analysis for ...

Major cause of strength improvement of a ramie/PA composite with low fiber contents

Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research, 2018
The tensile strength of injection-molded semi-crystalline resin (polyamide) matrix composites was improved to higher than the values predicted from the rule of mixture merely by adding 1.0–5.0 wt% of ramie fibers to the resin.

Adverse Effects of Aβ_1-42 Oligomers: Impaired Contextual Memory and Altered Intrinsic Properties of CA1 Pyramidal Neurons

Biomolecules
Aβ1-42 (amyloid beta) oligomers, the major neurotoxic culprits in Alzheimer’s disease, initiate early pathophysiological events, including neuronal hyperactivity, that underlie aberrant network activity and cognitive impairment.

Shorter Infantile Amnesia in Females: Important Implications for the Next Generation

Cells
The sex-specific development of hippocampal learning in juveniles remains unclear. Using an inhibitory avoidance task, we assessed contextual learning in both sexes of juvenile rats.

Multiple Congenital Granular Cell Epulis: Case Report and Immunohistochemical Profile with Emphasis on Vascularization

Case Reports in Dentistry, 2015
Congenital granular cell epulis is a rare benign soft tissue lesion arising from the alveolar ridge in neonates. A rare case of multiple congenital granular cell epulis is reported, alongside a description of its vascular immunohistochemical profile.

Marker-Less Lung Tumor Tracking from Real-Time Color X-Ray Fluoroscopic Images Using Cross-Patient Deep Learning Model

Bioengineering
Fiducial marker implantation for tumor localization in radiotherapy is effective but invasive and carries complication risks. To address this, we propose a marker-less tumor tracking framework to explore the feasibility of a cross-patient deep learning ...

Postnatal Development of Synaptic Plasticity at Hippocampal CA1 Synapses: Correlation of Learning Performance with Pathway-Specific Plasticity

Brain Sciences
To determine the critical timing for learning and the associated synaptic plasticity, we analyzed developmental changes in learning together with training-induced plasticity.

The Smithsons’ Unbuilt Projects: Considerations on the Retirement House Approach

Architecture
The Retirement House (1959) was a project developed by Peter Smithson that did not have the opportunity to be materialized beyond the drawing; therefore, we will use this proposal as a case study to investigate deeper into his design themes.

Ocular Manifestation in Systemic Sclerosis—A Literature Review

Life
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease that affects more than 2 million people worldwide. It manifests through vasculopathy, an abnormal immunological response, and fibrosis leading to dysfunction of the multiple ...
