1Vitamin A regulates fibroblast growth factor 23.

Sep 24, 2020

Renal phosphate and vitamin D metabolism are regulated by proteohormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which is secreted by bone cells. FGF23 inhibits phosphate reabsorption and the production o...

The influence of a meniscal bucket handle tear on the Posterior Cruciate Ligament Angle in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture - A case report.

Sep 24, 2020

Chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear might be difficult to diagnose on MRI. Indirect signs might be a typical meniscal or cartilage lesion, or a spontaneous anterior drawer visualized by a de...

Machine learning demonstrates that somatic mutations imprint invariant morphologic features in myelodysplastic syndromes.

Sep 24, 2020

Morphological interpretation is the standard in diagnosing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but it has limitations, such as varying reliability in pathologic evaluation and lack of integration with gen...

Sep 21, 2020

Injectable hydrogels with conductivity are highly desirable as scaffolds for the engineering of various electrical stimuli-responsive tissues, including nerve, muscle, retina, and bone. However, oxyge...

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors - Outcomes and prognostic factors based on the reference center experience.

Sep 21, 2020

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) accounts for about 5% of soft tissue sarcomas. It can occur as sporadic diseases or can be associated with type 1 neurofibromatosis. MPNST is usually as...

Prevalence and incidence of vertebral fractures: a 7-year follow-up study in institutionalized adults with refractory epilepsy and intellectual disability.

Sep 21, 2020

The main objective of this cohort study is to determine the prevalence and incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures (VFs) over 7 years follow-up, in institutionalized adults with refractory epile...

Lower-Extremity Motor Synergies in Individuals With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability.

Sep 17, 2020

Current theoretical models suggest that ankle sprain copers exhibit movement adaptations contributing to the avoidance of chronic ankle instability. However, few studies have examined adaptations at t...

Differences in Activity of the Brain Networks During Voluntary Motor Tasks Engaging the Local and Global Muscular Systems of the Lower Trunk.

Sep 17, 2020

Low back pain constitutes a multidimensional problem of largely unknown origin. One of the recent theories explaining its frequent occurrence includes speculative statements on patterns of central ner...
