Flight performance of pollen starved honey bees and incomplete compensation through ingestion after early life pollen deprivation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
We investigated the effect of adult honey bee pollen nutrition on the flight performance of honey bees. Therefore, caged bees were allowed to perform 30 min of defecation/training flights every second day before flight performance of pollen-fed bees and ...

An extremely rare case of multiple calcifying tumor of the pleura [PDF]

, 2012
Calcifying fibrous tumors are uncommon lesions. These lesions are made up of hyalinized collagenous fibrotic tissues interspersed with lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates and extensive dystrophic calcifications mimicking psammomatous features. Calcifying tumor

Atorvastatin as a stable treatment in bronchiectasis:a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Bronchiectasis is characterised by chronic cough, sputum production, and recurrent chest infections. Pathogenesis is poorly understood, but excess neutrophilic airway inflammation is seen.

Urine-sample-derived human induced pluripotent stem cells as a model to study PCSK9-mediated autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a critical modulator of cholesterol homeostasis. Whereas PCSK9 gain-of-function (GOF) mutations are associated with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) and premature atherosclerosis ...

Promoter variants in tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) protect against susceptibility in pigeon breeders' disease. [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a major role in extracellular matrix turnover in the lung. However, in chronic lung disorders such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pigeon breeders' disease (PBD), TIMPs may ...

The Brugada syndrome: a rare arrhythmia disorder with complex inheritance

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2016
For the last ten years, applying new sequencing technologies to thousands of whole exomes has revealed the high variability of the human genome. Extreme caution should thus be taken to avoid misinterpretation when associating rare genetic variants to ...

Familial screening in case of acute myocarditis reveals inherited arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathies

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Several data suggest that acute myocarditis could be related to genetic variants involved in familial cardiomyopathies, particularly arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, but the management of patients with acute myocarditis and their families regarding ...

A Novel Approach for Multi-Label Chest X-Ray Classification of Common Thorax Diseases

IEEE Access, 2019
Chest X-ray (CXR) is one of the most common types of radiology examination for the diagnosis of thorax diseases. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) was developed to help radiologists to achieve diagnostic excellence in a short period of time and to enhance ...

Osteopontin as a Link between Inflammation and Cancer: The Thorax in the Spotlight

Cells, 2019
The glycoprotein osteopontin (OPN) possesses multiple functions in health and disease. To this end, osteopontin has beneficial roles in wound healing, bone homeostasis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) function.
