Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Effectiveness and safety of external physical vibration lithecbole for upper urinary stone expulsion: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Urology
Objectives: The external physical vibration lithecbole (EPVL) is a new device. It is clinically employed to improve the stone-free rate (SFR). However, it is not widely accepted in clinical practice due to the lack of high-level evidentiary support and a

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Gigantic Calculi in Continent Urinary Diversion

open access: yes, 2020
Continent urinary reservoirs are safe and accepted modes of urinary diversion in selected patients. However, they are associated with long-term complications such as recurrent pyelonephritis, metabolic acidosis, urolithiasis and stomal problems.

Towards correctness of program transformations through unification and critical pair computation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda-calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach is the combination of a context lemma with the

Association between interleukin-1 beta gene, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms and urolithiasis: A literature review and meta-analysis

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inflammation, 2020
Several case-control studies have been performed in different populations to uncover the association between interleukin-1 beta gene, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms and urolithiasis.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

COWS: A Timed Service-Oriented Calculus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
COWS (Calculus for Orchestration of Web Services) is a foundational language for Service Oriented Computing that combines in an original way a number of ingredients borrowed from well-known process calculi, e.g.

Silent But Giant: Giant ureteric calculus in a 7-year-old boy

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Case Reports, 2010
Giant ureteric calculi are extremely rare in children. We present a case of a child who was originally admitted for observation following non-accidental injury and had an episode of painless haematuria as an inpatient.

Citric Acid Loaded Hydrogel-Coated Stent for Dissolving Pancreatic Duct Calculi

open access: yesGels
In recent years, the incidence of chronic pancreatitis has increased significantly. Pancreatic calculi obstruct the pancreatic duct and induce abdominal pain in the patients. Pancreatic duct stenting is the major treatment option for chronic pancreatitis
