Influence of pain anticipation on brain activity and pain perception in Gulf War Veterans with chronic musculoskeletal pain
Abstract Anticipation of a painful experience can influence brain activity and increase sensitivity to experimental somatosensory stimuli in healthy adults, but this response is poorly understood among individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Studies of brain and perceptual responses to somatosensory stimuli are used to make inferences about central nervous system dysfunction as a potential mechanism of symptoms. As such, we sought to (a) determine the influence of pain anticipation...

25-Hydroxyvitamin D profiles and maternal bone mass during pregnancy and lactation in Japanese women
Abstract Vitamin D deficiency is observed worldwide and represents a health hazard for mothers, infants and elderly persons. We know that many young Japanese women experience vitamin D insufficiency; however, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] profile of pregnant Japanese women and of the association between maternal 25(OH)D level and maternal bone mass during pregnancy and lactation.

Studying cognition in the wild is a challenge. Field researchers and their study animals face many factors that can easily interfere with their variables of interest and that many say are 'impossible' to control for. A novel observational approach for field research can now guide young scholars, who want to study cognition in the field before this opportunity disappears.

Fracture Resistance of Additively Manufactured Zirconia Crowns when Cemented to Implant Supported Zirconia Abutments: An in vitro Study
Abstract Purpose To compare the fracture resistance of implant‐supported milled zirconia, milled lithium disilicate, and additively manufactured zirconia crowns. Materials and Methods : Maxillary cast with a dental implant replacing right second bicuspid was obtained. Custom abutments and full‐contour crowns for milled zirconia, milled lithium disilicate, and additively manufactured zirconia crowns (n = 10/group) were digitally designed and fabricated. The crowns were cemented to implant...

Unresectable Advanced Gastric Cancer with Skin Invasion followed by Total Gastrectomy after Second-Line Chemotherapy
Conversion surgery has been reported but few cases have undergone surgical R0 resection after second-line chemotherapy. We report a case of an unresectable locally advanced gastric cancer in a patient who finally underwent the operation (R0) after second-line chemotherapy. The 77-year-old male was diagnosed with gastric cancer (cT4 [SI; Skin, Liver] N0M0 c Stage IIIA) with invasion to the skin of the abdominal wall, and chemotherapy was initially performed because of his poor performance status and...

Expression of transcription factors and signaling molecules in the cerebellar granule cell development
Publication date: Available online 20 August 2019Source: Gene Expression PatternsAuthor(s): Ryo D. Shiraishi, Sathoshi Miyashita, Mariko Yamashita, Toma Adachi, Mana M. Shimoda, Tomoo Owa, Mikio HoshinoAbstractCerebellar granule cell precursors (GCPs) and granule cells (GCs) constitute a good model system to investigate proliferation of neural precursors and differentiation of neurons. During development, GCPs proliferate in the outer external granule cell layer (outer EGL) and then exit the cell...

Efficacy and potential use of novel sustained release fillers as intracanal medicaments against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm in vitro
Abstract Background Enterococcus faecalis is a bacterium frequently isolated after failed root canal therapy. This study analyzed the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects in vitro of sustained-release fillers (SRF) containing cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) against vancomycin resistant E. faecalis. Methods First, the solidification capability...

Association between poor oral health and diabetes among Indian adult population: potential for integration with NCDs
Abstract Background Studies in high-income countries have reported associations between oral health and diabetes. There is however a lack of evidence on this association from low and middle-income countries, especially India. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of common oral diseases and their association with diabetes. Methods ...

Optic Nerve Stimulation Device Could Provide Visual Aid for Blind People
Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have developed a new type of intraneural electrode to bypass the eyeball and send messages directly to the brain through the optic nerve. The technique could provide a visual aid for permanently blind people. Using retinal implants to treat blindness is a developing field. The concept involves allowing users to have the sensation of observing light, which is experienced as white patterns. While this isn’t the same as full...

High-Performance Handheld Ultrasound Based on Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers
The company EXO Imaging out of Redwood City, CA recently emerged from stealth mode to announce the development of a novel technology called Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (pMUT) for ultrasound imaging. EXO Imaging is bringing together advances in micromachined materials and artificial intelligence to enhance both the ultrasound probe as well as the receiver that a clinician uses to visualize the ultrasound images. Traditional ultrasound transducers are built from bulk piezoelectric...
