Palatal and pharyngeal reflexes in health and in motor neuron disease. [PDF]
Palatal and pharyngeal sensation and motor responses, and volitional palatal movement, were tested in 171 healthy adults and 43 patients with motor neuron disease. In healthy adults palatal and pharyngeal sensation and volitional palatal elevation were present in all; the palatal and pharyngeal motor responses could not be elicited on first testing in ...

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

Chemical Components of the Dried Latex of Euphorbia resinifera Berg and Its Medicinal Features
ABSTRACT A great deal of research has been carried out on the latex of Euphorbia resinifera Berg, which is an important source of several compounds of therapeutic and medicinal interest. Extraction, synthesis, and hemi synthesis pathways continue to reveal the existence of other new products with anticancer, antioxidant, antidiuretic, and antimalarial ...

Ancient Pbx-Hox signatures define hundreds of vertebrate developmental enhancers [PDF]
Background: Gene regulation through cis-regulatory elements plays a crucial role in development and disease. A major aim of the post-genomic era is to be able to read the function of cis-regulatory elements through scrutiny of their DNA sequence ...

Lineage labeling with zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 recombinase CRISPR knock‐ins
Abstract Background The ability to generate endogenous Cre recombinase drivers using CRISPR‐Cas9 knock‐in technology allows lineage tracing, cell type‐specific gene studies, and in vivo validation of inferred developmental trajectories from phenotypic and gene expression analyses. This report describes endogenous zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 drivers

Infants hospitalized for Bordetella pertussis infection commonly have respiratory viral coinfections [PDF]
Background: Whether viral coinfections cause more severe disease than Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) alone remains unclear. We compared clinical disease severity and sought clinical and demographic differences between infants with B.

Spatiotemporal distribution of neural crest cells in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis
Abstract Background Neural crest cells (NCCs) are migratory embryonic stem cells that give rise to a diverse set of cell types. Here we describe the dynamic distribution of NCCs in developing embryos of the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis inferred from 10 markers.

NASO-PHARYNGEAL ADENOIDS AS A CAUSATIVE FACTOR IN EAR DISEASES. [PDF]
Among the most interesting cases that come before the otologist are those pertaining to postnasal vegetation affecting the hearing, and there are few patients to whom more satisfaction can be rendered than to those so affected. Adenoid vegetation seems not to be restricted to countries, to climates, to sex, to color or race of man. Dr.

ABSTRACT Background Globally, most people with head and neck cancers (HNCs) are diagnosed with advanced‐stage disease. HNC diagnostic stage has multifactorial explanations, with the role of health system factors not yet fully investigated. Methods HNC centres (n = 18) from the HEADSpAcE Consortium were surveyed via a bespoke health system questionnaire
