A Rapidly Enlarging Forehead Mass in a Young Retinoblastoma Survivor
The American Medical Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The AMA designates this journal-based CME activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM per course. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Expression of PAX8 Target Genes in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
PAX8 is a thyroid-specific transcription factor whose expression is dysregulated in thyroid cancer. A recent study using a conditional knock-out mouse model identified 58 putative PAX8 target genes. In the present study, we evaluated the expression of 11 of these genes in normal and tumoral thyroid tissues from patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).
Functional Decline in Residents Living in Nursing Homes: A Systematic Review of the Literature
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription . Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. To describe the functional dependence progression over time in older people living in nursing homes (NHs). A systematic review of the literature was performed. Studies involving individuals 65 years and older living in NHs, describing their functional decline, improvement or stability in activities of daily living (ADLs), were eligible.
Chien Ho Develops Bio-Mimicry Method for Preparing and Labeling Stem Cells-CMU News - Carnegie Mellon University
Researchers led by Carnegie Mellon University Professor of Biological Sciences Chien Ho have developed a new method for preparing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that not only leads to the production of more native stem cells, but also labels them with a FDA approved iron-oxide nanoparticle (Ferumoxytol). The technology could allow researchers to track the cells in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during preclinical and clinical trials.
Bio-Mimicry Method Helps Prepare and Track Stem Cells with MRI
Hematopoietic stem cells can be used to form the different types of blood cells, and are used to treat leukemia and multiple myeloma. Mesenchymal stem cells can be used to generate bone, cartilage and fat cells, and have promise for repairing bone and cartilage, damaged heart cells, and treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Asthma inflammatory phenotypes show differential microRNA expression in sputum
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription . Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. Asthma is classified according to severity and inflammatory phenotype and is likely to be distinguished by specific microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles. We sought to associate miRNA expression in sputum supernatants with the inflammatory cell profile and disease severity in asthmatic patients.

Subcutaneous Allergic Sensitization to Protease Allergen Is Dependent on Mast Cells but Not IL-33: Distinct Mechanisms between Subcutaneous and Intranasal Routes
Protease activity of papain, a plant-derived occupational allergen homologous to mite major allergens, is essential to IgE/IgG1 production and lung eosinophilia induced by intranasal papain administration in mice, and IL-33 contributes to these responses. In this work, we investigate skin and Ab responses induced by s.c. papain administration into ear lobes and responses induced by subsequent airway challenge with papain.
Incidence and Estimated Prevalence of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis in Northeast Italy: A Data Linkage Study
Despite being quite frequent and having serious implications in terms of symptomatology and fertility, data on incidence and prevalence of endometriosis and adenomyosis following gold standard definitions are dramatically lacking. The average time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis in industrialized countries still ranges from five to ten years.
Genome-Wide Search for Host Association Factors during Ovine Progressive Pneumonia Virus Infection
Ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) is an important virus that causes serious diseases in sheep and goats with a prevalence of 36% in the USA. Although OPPV was discovered more than half of a century ago, little is known about the infection and pathogenesis of this virus. In this report, we used RNA-seq technology to conduct a genome-wide probe for cellular factors that are associated with OPPV infection.
A comparison of postnatal arterial patterns in a growth series of giraffe (Artiodactyla: Giraffa camelopardalis)
Three cadaveric giraffe specimens were utilized in this study. All specimens were obtained as loans from zoological parks and their partner academic affiliations or were donated to the Ohio University Vertebrate Collection (OUVC). No animals were sacrificed for the purpose of this study, and all required permits and permissions pertain to the transfer of specimens from zoological parks. All specimens are unrelated female Maasai giraffes ( Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis ).
Carnegie Mellon Team Develops Targeted Photosensitizer for Cell Manipulation-CMU News - Carnegie Mellon University
Zebrafish treated with FAP-TAPS (right) experience loss of cardiac function, compared to those not treated with the photosensitizer (left). Researchers led by Carnegie Mellon University’s Molecular and Biosensor Imaging Center (MBIC) Director Marcel Bruchez have re-engineered a fluorescent probe into a powerful optogenetic photosensitizer that can be used to manipulate cells.
Ligand effect of SnO2 on a Pt-Ru catalyst and the relationship between bond strength and CO tolerance
Pt–Ru/SnO /C catalysts were prepared by a rapid quenching method. The structure and morphology of Pt–Ru particles in Pt–Ru/SnO /C are controlled to obtain the same Pt–Ru particle as that in a commercial Pt–Ru catalyst. The Pt–Ru/SnO /C and commercial Pt–Ru catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy.
Nobel Prize round-up
In case you missed them, here is our round-up of who won what in this year’s Nobel Prize announcements in physiology, physics and chemistry. Each prize is worth 8 million SEK (£0.6 million), and is shared amongst the winners. This year the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced eight Nobel Laureates. A novel therapy against infections caused by roundworm parasites has won William Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura half of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Pronounced and prevalent intersexuality does not impede the ‘Demon Shrimp’ invasion
Crustacean intersexuality is widespread and often linked to infection by sex-distorting parasites. However, unlike vertebrate intersexuality, its association with sexual dysfunction is unclear and remains a matter of debate. The ‘Demon Shrimp’, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes, an amphipod that has invaded continental waterways, has recently become widespread in Britain. Intersexuality has been noted in D. haemobaphes but not investigated further.
