The Amblyopia Quality of Life (AmbQoL): Development and Content Validation of a Novel Health-Related Quality of Life Instrument for Use in Adult and Pediatric Amblyopia Populations

open access: yesOphthalmology and Therapy, 2023
Introduction Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental vision disorder, characterized by poor vision in one or both eyes. Given the lack of existing clinical outcome assessments (COA) considered fit-for-purpose for amblyopia clinical trials, this study developed

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Instrumental Values [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This paper studies the identification of partial differences of nonseparable structural functions. The paper considers triangular structures with no more stochastic unobservables than observable outcomes, that exhibit a degree of monotonicity with ...

Multiple $q$-Zeta Values [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We introduce a $q$-analog of the multiple harmonic series commonly referred to as multiple zeta values. The multiple $q$-zeta values satisfy a $q$-stuffle multiplication rule analogous to the stuffle multiplication rule arising from the series ...

Development and content validity assessment of the Dry Eye Disease Questionnaire in patients with dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, and Sjögren’s syndrome dry eye disease

open access: yesJournal of Patient-Reported Outcomes, 2023
Background Dry eye disease (DED), Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), and Sjögren’s syndrome dry eye disease (SS-DED) are eye dryness conditions that show significant overlap in various symptoms of ocular discomfort.

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Refining the NaV1.7 pharmacophore of a class of venom‐derived peptide inhibitors via a combination of in silico screening and rational engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.
