Review of the Amphibian Immune Response to Chytridiomycosis, and Future Directions

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The fungal skin disease, chytridiomycosis (caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans), has caused amphibian declines and extinctions globally since its emergence. Characterizing the host immune response to chytridiomycosis has been

Oldest well‐preserved euprimate petrosal, from the early Eocene of India (Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

Reciprocal Trophic Interactions and Transmission of Blood Parasites between Mosquitoes and Frogs

Insects, 2012
The relationship between mosquitoes and their amphibian hosts is a unique, reciprocal trophic interaction. Instead of a one-way, predator-prey relationship, there is a cyclical dance of avoidance and attraction.

Resistance to Axial Traction Decreases Over Time Following Repaired Periportal Capsulotomies During Hip Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To determine if distraction distance changes on an axial traction examination between the time zero capsular repair state and a later follow‐up traction examination in patients with staged bilateral hip arthroscopies for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

ANK1 and EPB41 Variants and The Risk of Glucocorticoid‐Induced Osteonecrosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Steroid‐induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory skeletal disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, conclusive pathogenic genetic evidence remains elusive due to the limited exploration of rare damaging variants. In this study, we aimed to identify rare variants associated with SONFH.

A new minute species of Pristimantis (Amphibia: Anura: Craugastoridae) with a large head from the Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park in central Peru, with comments on the phylogenetic diversity of Pristimantis occurring in the Cordillera Yanachaga

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
We describe a new minute species of the genus Pristimantis, P. boucephalus sp. nov., from the Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park, Región Pasco, Peru. The description is based on a freshly collected male specimen found at 2950 m a.s.l.

Integration of the arts and biomedical engineering in innovative interdisciplinary anatomy education: The synthetic anatomy module

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The intersection of science and art has historically fostered innovation, yet the integration of creative arts into anatomy education remains limited. The Synthetic Anatomy module was designed to bridge anatomy teaching with creative design for bioscience and biomedical engineering students. This study evaluates the module's educational impact

Targeting Amastigote and Trypomastigote Phases: Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Strategy Against Trypanosoma cruzi

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (

Making it explicit – Sustained shared thinking dialogue as a way to explore children's perspectives on quality in German early childhood education and care

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract To negotiate quality in early childhood education and care, we must ask from different perspectives what constitutes a good centre for children. The children themselves have only recently been identified as a resource to contribute to that discussion.
