PBP4 mediates high-level resistance to new generation cephalosporins in Staphylococcus aureus
[PublishAheadOfPrint]: *Staphylococcus aureus* is an important cause of both hospital and community-associated MRSA infections worldwide. β-lactam antibiotics are drugs of choice to treat *S. aureus* infections, but resistance to these and other antibiotics make treatment problematic. High-level β-lactam resistance of *S. aureus* has always been attributed to the horizontally acquired penicillin binding protein 2a (PBP2a) encoded by the *mecA* gene. Here we show that *S. aureus* can also express high-level resistance to β-lactams, including new generation broad-spectrum cephalospor... περισσότερα »

Binaural hearing in children
using Gaussian enveloped and transposed tones: Children who use bilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs) show significantly poorer sound localization skills than their normal hearing (NH) peers. This difference has been attributed, in part, to the fact that cochlear implants(CIs) do not faithfully transmit interaural time differences(ITDs) and interaural level differences (ILDs), which are known to be important cues for sound localization. Interestingly, little is known about binaural sensitivity in NH children, in particular, with stimuli that constrain acoustic cues in a manner repre... περισσότερα »

Density and glass forming ability in amorphous atomic alloys: The role of the particle softness
A key property of glass forming alloys, the anomalously small volume difference with respect to the crystal, is shown to arise as a direct consequence of the soft repulsive potentials between metals. This feature of the inter-atomic potential is demonstrated to be responsible for a significant component of the glass forming ability of alloys due to the decrease in the enthalpy of fusion and the associated depression of the freezing point. from BioChemistry via xlomafota13 on Inoreader http://ift.tt/1ROLXcw via IFTTT

Adipose Tissue Dysfunction: Clinical Relevance and Diagnostic Possibilities
Horm Metab Res 2016; 48: 213-225 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-103243 Adipose tissue dysfunction is defined as an imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory adipokines, causing insulin resistance, systemic low-grade inflammation, hypercoagulability, and elevated blood pressure. These can lead to cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus type 2. Although quantity of adipose tissue is an important determinant of adipose tissue dysfunction, it can be diagnosed in both obese and lean individuals. This implies that not only quantity of adipose tissue should be used as a measure for adipose ...περισσότερα »

Avoiding allogenic blood transfusions in endoscopic angiofibroma surgery
Avoiding allogenic blood transfusions in endoscopic angiofibroma surgery: Abstract Background Surgical approaches for many tumours are often limited by blood loss, exposure and risk to vital anatomical structures. Therefore, the standard of care for certain skull base tumours has become endoscopic transnasal resection. Other surgical disciplines often use cell salvage techniques, but review of the otolaryngology literature revealed very few case reports. This study investigated the value and safety of salvage-type autologous blood transfusion during the endoscopic resection o... περισσότερα »

When audiovisual correspondence disturbs visual processing
Abstract Multisensory integration is known to create a more robust and reliable perceptual representation of one's environment. Specifically, a congruent auditory input can make a visual stimulus more salient, consequently enhancing the visibility and detection of the visual target. However, it remains largely unknown whether a congruent auditory input can also impair visual processing. In the current study, we demonstrate that temporally congruent auditory input disrupts visual processing, consequently slowing down visual target detection. More importantly, this cross-modal inhibi... περισσότερα »
Audiovisual integration in near and far space: effects of changes in distance and stimulus effectiveness
Abstract A factor that is often not considered in multisensory research is the distance from which information is presented. Interestingly, various studies have shown that the distance at which information is presented can modulate the strength of multisensory interactions. In addition, our everyday multisensory experience in near and far space is rather asymmetrical in terms of retinal image size and stimulus intensity. This asymmetry is the result of the relation between the stimulus-observer distance and its retinal image size and intensity: an object that is further away is ge... περισσότερα »
The COGs (context, object, and goals) in multisensory processing
Abstract Our understanding of how perception operates in real-world environments has been substantially advanced by studying both multisensory processes and "top-down" control processes influencing sensory processing via activity from higher-order brain areas, such as attention, memory, and expectations. As the two topics have been traditionally studied separately, the mechanisms orchestrating real-world multisensory processing remain unclear. Past work has revealed that the observer's goals gate the influence of many multisensory processes on brain and behavioural responses, where...περισσότερα »
Neural correlates of tactile perception during pre-, peri-, and post-movement
Abstract Tactile information is differentially processed over the various phases of goal-directed movements. Here, event-related potentials (ERPs) were used to investigate the neural correlates of tactile and visual information processing during movement. Participants performed goal-directed reaches for an object placed centrally on the table in front of them. Tactile and visual stimulation (100 ms) was presented in separate trials during the different phases of the movement (i.e. preparation, execution, and post-movement). These stimuli were independently delivered to either the ... περισσότερα »

Methemoglobinemia
Methemoglobinemia: The presence in the blood of methemoglobin, a form of hemoglobin that is useless for carrying oxygen and delivering it to tissues throughout the human body. A small amount of methemoglobin is normally present in blood but the conversion of a larger fraction of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function well as an… Continue reading Methemoglobinemia
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 6 inhibits the growth and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma cells by regulating miR-122
Abstract Purpose Hepatocyte nuclear factor 6 (HNF6) is a liver-enriched transcription factor and highly expressed in mature bile duct epithelial cells. This study sought to investigate the role of HNF6, particularly the molecular mechanisms for how HNF6 is involved in the growth and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells. Methods The expression of HNF6, miR-122 and… Continue reading Hepatocyte nuclear factor 6 inhibits the growth and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma cells by regulating miR-122

Galectin-3 in bone tumor microenvironment: a beacon for individual skeletal metastasis management
Abstract The skeleton is frequently a secondary growth site of disseminated cancers, often leading to painful and devastating clinical outcomes. Metastatic cancer distorts bone marrow homeostasis through tumor-derived factors, which shapes different bone tumor microenvironments depending on the tumor cells’ origin. Here, we propose a novel insight on tumor-secreted Galectin-3 (Gal-3) that controls the induction… Continue reading Galectin-3 in bone tumor microenvironment: a beacon for individual skeletal metastasis management
Understanding the cellular roles of Fyn-related kinase (FRK): implications in cancer biology
Abstract The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Fyn-related kinase (FRK) is a member of the BRK family kinases (BFKs) and is distantly related to the Src family kinases (SFKs). FRK was first discovered in 1993, and studies pursued thereafter attributed a potential tumour-suppressive function to the enzyme. In recent years, however, further functional characterization of the tyrosine… Continue reading Understanding the cellular roles of Fyn-related kinase (FRK): implications in cancer biology

Abstract *Objectives* Lactational mastitis frequently leads to a premature abandonment of breastfeeding; its development has been associated with several risk factors. This study aims to use a decision tree (DT) approach to establish the main risk factors involved in mastitis and to compare its performance for predicting this condition with a stepwise logistic regression (LR) model. *Methods* Data from 368 cases (breastfeeding women with mastitis) and 148 controls were collected by a questionnaire about risk factors related to medical history of mother and infant, pregnancy, deliv...περισσότερα »
