RESULTS The VAS was significantly lower after bilateral submandibular duct ligation at follow-up compared to BoNT-A treatment (mean difference -33, p≤0.001; 95% confidence interval [CI]=-43.3 to -22.9). The mean drooling quotient did not significantly differ between BoNT-A treatment and bilateral submandibular duct ligation at follow-up (3.3, p…[Lees meer]

f the genetic variance of the trait. These results are very encouraging for efforts towards implementation of a breeding strategy aimed at improving resistance to paratuberculosis in Holstein cows.BACKGROUND In conjunction with an automated external defibrillator (AED) placement program at various locations within a public university in Malaysia,…[Lees meer]

Typhi.Chlamydia psittaci is the etiological agent of chlamydiosis in birds and can be transmitted to humans, causing severe systemic disease. C. psittaci infects a broad range of hosts; strains are isolated not only from birds but also from mammals, where they seem to have a reduced infectious and zoonotic potential. Comparative analysis of…[Lees meer]

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria are sensitive and susceptible to operating condition fluctuations that can lead to the instability of a bioreactor. Through multivariate spectral analysis, the dynamic changes of intracellular and extracellular metabolites of anammox sludge under the declined temperature stress were characterized. It…[Lees meer]

Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the addition of DPFs into the PP matrix reduced the thermal stability of the composite. However, the thermal stability of the treated fiber-reinforced rPP and ICP composites was similar to that of the DPF/HPP composite. Hence, rPP can be used as an alternative to HPP with DPFs.The integration of synergic…[Lees meer]

ferior hemisphere GCIPL thickness. CONCLUSIONS GCIPL thickness profiles were significantly thinner in Indians compared with Chinese and Malays. Our findings further highlight the need of a more refined, ethnic-specific normative database for GCIPL thickness, which in turn may improve the detection and diagnosis of glaucoma in Asians. OBJECTIVES…[Lees meer]

Direct acting antivirals (DAA) have recently been developed to treat patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and interferon-free DAA treatment has improved the cure rate of patients. However, the occurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following HCV eradication remains unknown. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify…[Lees meer]

This investigation found significant cross-modality correlations in cardiac function metrics and SCG signals features from healthy subjects. Additionally, through comparison to normative ranges from healthy subjects, it observed correspondences between pathological flow and abnormal SCG. This may support development of an easy clinical test used…[Lees meer]
