A case of myasthenia gravis following alopecia areata
We present a case of myasthenia gravis that occurred after alopecia areata and evaluate the literature on the comorbidity of alopecia and myasthenia gravis. A 41‐year‐old male noticed hair loss on his scalp 4 months ago, and his hair loss progressed with

Detecting epistasis via Markov bases [PDF]
Rapid research progress in genotyping techniques have allowed large genome-wide association studies. Existing methods often focus on determining associations between single loci and a specific phenotype.

Revisions of Theophanes Chrysobalantes De Curatione [version 2; referees: 4 approved]
Background: Theophanes Chrysobalantes' De curatione is a little known but highly relevant therapeutic manual dating to the tenth century AD. The text has come down to us in an unusually large number of manuscripts, most of which transmit a mainstream ...

Differentiating inbred mouse strains from each other and those with single gene mutations using hair proteomics. [PDF]
Mutant laboratory mice with distinctive hair phenotypes are useful for identifying genes responsible for hair diseases. The work presented here demonstrates that shotgun proteomic profiling can distinguish hair shafts from different inbred mouse strains.

Morbidity and Mortality in 7,684 Women According to Personal Hair Dye Use: The Copenhagen City Heart Study followed for 37 Years. [PDF]
Permanent hair dye contains aromatic amines which are carcinogenic, and can cause allergic skin reactions. In the long term personal use of hair dye might therefore influence both morbidity and mortality.We tested the hypothesis that personal use of hair

Drug-induced stress granule formation protects sensory hair cells in mouse cochlear explants during ototoxicity [PDF]
Stress granules regulate RNA translation during cellular stress, a mechanism that is generally presumed to be protective, since stress granule dysregulation caused by mutation or ageing is associated with neurodegenerative disease.

Efficient Replication of Over 180 Genetic Associations with Self-Reported Medical Data [PDF]
While the cost and speed of generating genomic data have come down dramatically in recent years, the slow pace of collecting medical data for large cohorts continues to hamper genetic research. Here we evaluate a novel online framework for amassing large
