A European Approach to Irritable Bowel Syndrome Management
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by a number of clinical features and probably comprises a cluster of different conditions. The most frequent symptom reported by IBS patients is abdominal pain, although for a number of patients, bowel ...

Fixation eye movement abnormalities and stereopsis recovery following strabismus repair
We evaluated the effects of strabismus repair on fixational eye movements (FEMs) and stereopsis recovery in patients with fusion maldevelopment nystagmus (FMN) and patients without nystagmus.

Evidence of the presence of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV in human sperm and its involvement in motility regulation [PDF]
The mechanisms involved in the regulation of mammalian sperm motility are not well understood. Calcium ions (Ca(2+)) have been suggested to play a key role in the maintenance of motility; nevertheless, how Ca(2+) modulates this process has not yet been ...

Approximately 20 years have passed since the first isolation of tubulin, dynein and non-muscle actomyosin. During this period actomyosin, microtubule-dynein or microtubules plus other ATPases (kinesin) have been implicated in almost all cellular motile phenomena.

Introduction and Objectives: Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP)-2 is lower in serum during obesity and metabolic dysfunction. We have previously shown that the decrease in serum IGFBP-2 follows a diminished expression in liver and heart ...

Interactions of Little-brain and Big-brain in Explaining Abdominal Symptoms
For a long time, the role of an extensive neurological network in the gut (the little-brain) has been under-recognized because the enteric nervous system (ENS) is thought to have little impact beyond digestion.

Phospholipid directed motility of surface‐motile bacteria [PDF]
Summary Myxococcus xanthus is a surface‐motile bacterium that has adapted at least one chemosensory system to allow directed movement towards the slowly diffusible lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The Dif chemosensory pathway is remarkable because it has at least three inputs coupled to outputs that control extracellular matrix (ECM) production and

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in active droplets provides a generic route to motility
We explore a generic mechanism whereby a droplet of active matter acquires motility by the spontaneous breakdown of a discrete symmetry. The model we study offers a simple representation of a "cell extract" comprising, e.g., a droplet of actomyosin ...
