Oscillation encoding of individual differences in speech perception
(Public Library of Science, 2014-07-03)
Individual differences in second language (L2) phoneme perception (within the normal population) have been related to speech perception abilities, also observed in the native language, in studies assessing ...
Emergency short-stay unit as an effective alternative to in-hospital admission for acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-10)
Study Objective: To determine whether a new emergency department short-stay unit (EDSSU) was an effective alternative to conventional hospital units (HU) for acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure ...
Silver deposition on titanium surface by electrochemical anodizing process reduces bacterial adhesion of Streptococcus sanguinis and Lactobacillus salivarius
(Wiley, 2014-05-30)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial properties of silver‐doped titanium surfaces prepared with a novel electrochemical anodizing process. Material and methods: Titanium ...
The effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride used for 3 years in women with androgenetic alopecia
(Medknow Publications & Media, 2014-11-01)
Background: The effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride in women with androgenetic
alopecia has been the subject of debate. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of finasteride
and dutasteride on ...
Uridine 5'-triphosphate promotes in vitro Schwannoma cell migration through matrix metalloproteinase-2 activation
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-06)
In response to peripheral nerve injury, Schwann cells adopt a migratory phenotype and modify the extracellular matrix to make it permissive for cell migration and axonal re-growth. Uridine 5′-triphosphate ...
Central ceramide-induced hypothalamic lipotoxicity and ER stress regulate energy balance
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key mechanism leading to obesity. Here, we demonstrate that ceramides induce lipotoxicity and hypothalamic ER stress, leading to sympathetic inhibition, ...
Study on the use of 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane and 3‐chloropropyltriethoxysilane to surface biochemical modification of a novel low elastic modulus Ti–Nb–Hf alloy
(Wiley, 2014-06-09)
A biocompatible new titanium alloy Ti–16Hf–25Nb with low elastic modulus (45 GPa) and the use of short bioadhesive peptides derived from the extracellular matrix have been studied. In terms of cell ...
Distinct structural transitions of chromatin topological domains correlate with coordinated hormone-induced gene regulation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2014)
The human genome is segmented into topologically associating domains (TADs), but the role of this conserved organization during transient changes in gene expression is not known. Here we describe the ...
Molecular evolution of multiple-level control of heme biosynthesis pathway in animal kingdom
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Adaptation of enzymes in a metabolic pathway can occur not only through changes in amino acid sequences but also through variations in transcriptional activation, mRNA splicing and mRNA translation. The ...
A barbed suture repair for flexor tendons: a novel technique with no exposed barbs
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2014-10-23)
Background: Barbed suture technology has shown promise in flexor tendon
repairs, as there is an even distribution of load and the need for a knot
is eliminated. We propose that a quick and simple, ...
