Rehabilitating wild birds of prey following ocular trauma – should foveal assessment include spectral-domain optical coherence tomography?

BMC Veterinary Research
Background The fovea is an area of increased cone density in the avian retina and provides a high level of visual acuity. Damage to the fovea may negatively impact survival of birds of prey in the wild. The goal of this prospective, descriptive study was

Beneficial Effects of Nutraceuticals, Especially Polyphenols on Canine Health

Pets
The use of nutraceuticals, mainly phytogenics, is increasingly widespread in animal nutrition, especially in dogs. The materials typically used to provide these very diverse natural compounds come from plants, but lately algae and fungi have also been ...

Detection Human Motion with Heel Strikes for Surveillance Analysis

, 2011
Heel strike detection is an important cue for human gait recognition and detection in visual surveillance since the heel strike position can be used to derive the gait periodicity, stride and step length.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

Children pets and economic growth

, 2014
碩士本論文建構一個生小孩與養寵物為內生的經濟成長模型，研究小孩、寵物與經濟成長的關係。本文發現當生育率與寵物的固定替代彈性相對兩者的跨期替代彈性較大時，兩者將呈現負向關係；反之，若固定替代彈性相對較小，兩者呈現正向關係。而生育率和寵物對經濟成長的影響，取決於以外生變數的變動、固定替代彈性以及跨期替代彈性的相對大小而定。We construct an endogenous growth model with endogenous fertility rate and number of pets to ...

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.
