Rare Variants of Putative Candidate Genes Associated With Sporadic Meniere's Disease in East Asian Population [PDF]
Objectives: The cause of Meniere's disease (MD) is unclear but likely involves genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic basis underlying MD by screening putative candidate genes for MD.

Multiple Description Coding of Discrete Ergodic Sources [PDF]
We investigate the problem of Multiple Description (MD) coding of discrete ergodic processes. We introduce the notion of MD stationary coding, and characterize its relationship to the conventional block MD coding. In stationary coding, in addition to the

Updating of epidemiological and pathological features of Marek's disease in laying hens and broilers
Marek's disease (MD) is a huge problem for researchers due to the significant losses in bird flocks, but more importantly, the virus's mutagenic potential.

Getting excited: Challenges in quantum-classical studies of excitons in polymeric systems [PDF]
A combination of classical molecular dynamics (MM/MD) and quantum chemical calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) was performed to describe conformational properties of diphenylethyne (DPE), methylated-DPE and poly para phenylene ...

Muscle Dysmorphia and its Associated Psychological Features in Three Groups of Recreational Athletes [PDF]
Muscle Dysmorphia (MD) is a psychological disorder characterized by the preoccupation with the idea that one’s body is not lean and muscular. The current study aimed to explore MD behaviours and symptoms in three groups of recreational athletes ...

Ruptured inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm: a case report
Among visceral artery aneurysms, inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm is the rarest. Although most cases are of degenerative etiology, a small fraction of these cases are caused by autoimmune diseases.

Symptoms of major depression: Their stability, familiality, and prediction by genetic, temperamental, and childhood environmental risk factors [PDF]
Background: Psychiatry has long sought to develop biological diagnostic subtypes based on symptomatic differences. This effort assumes that symptoms reflect, with good fidelity, underlying etiological processes.

Magnetodielectric coupling in a Ru-based 6H-perovskite, Ba3NdRu2O9 [PDF]
A large spin-orbit coupling is a way to control strong magnetodielectric (MD) coupling in a higher d-orbital materials. However reports are rare on such compounds due to often leaky conductive behavior.
