Three-dimensional analysis of facial morphology in nine-year-old children with different unilateral orofacial clefts compared to normative data by Marjolein Crins-de Koning, Robin Bruggink, Marloes Nienhuijs, Till Wagner, Ewald M. Bronkhorst, Edwin M. Ongkosuwito

“…Although these trends were not statistically significant, they suggest a progressive facial retrusion pattern as cleft severity increases. For the secondary objective, no statistical differences were found between the facial morphology of children with fusion and differentiation defects, although a similar progression of maxillary retrusion was observed in the distance maps.…”

Selective Increment of Synovial Soluble TYRO3 Correlates with Disease Severity and Joint Inflammation in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis by Julia Vullings, Juliana P. Vago, Claire E. J. Waterborg, Rogier M. Thurlings, Marije I. Koenders, Peter L. E. M. van Lent, Peter M. van der Kraan, Flavio A. Amaral, Fons A. J. van de Loo

“…TAM receptors were expressed on different locations in the synovial tissue (lining, sublining, and blood vessels), and a similar expression pattern was observed in RA and OA patients. Synovial fluid sTyro3 and sMer were significantly enhanced in RA compared to OA patients, whereas no significant differences in sAxl and Gas6 levels were found. …”

“…In conclusion, the studied <i>S. pyogenes</i> strains were characterized by their susceptibility to antibiotics and the predominance of SpeA superantigen; for the first time in Bulgaria the presence of M1_UK and a novel SNP variation in the <i>mut</i>S gene (d90b) were found. A mixed pattern of pro- and anti-inflammatory immune responses in patients was observed.…”

Evidence-informed language: interpretation and impact on intentions to treat – results of an online survey of medical students and specialists in German-speaking countries by Sven Benson, Reinhard Griebenow, Justine Schmidt, Henrik Herrmann

“…However, use of the subjunctive mood (‘could’) resulted in 87.3% correct differentiations. (2) Even with only four types of clinical practice recommendations (positive/negative and strong/weak), interpretation and translation into intention to treat, respectively, showed a heterogeneous picture: while the presentation of a strong clinical recommendation led to largely congruent responses, the interpretation of weak recommendations showed a high variability, with no clear response pattern for intentions to treat. Responses from physicians and medical students were largely comparable.Conclusion This study demonstrates limitations in the currently used linguistic expressions of strength of evidence and clinical practice recommendations and supports the need to prospectively test effects of language on intentions to treat prior to implementation of a certain wording. …”

Brain connectivity for constructing new face representations in typical adults versus a prosopagnosic patient by Ela I. Olivares, Jorge F. Bosch-Bayard, Ana S. Urraca, Alba Jiménez-Bascuñán, Rolando J. Biscay, Jaime Iglesias

“…Meanwhile, the predominant connections for whole faces completing the I-E sequence were more restricted to specific brain areas, with relevant prefrontal activity and a few connected nodes in right posterior regions, suggesting high attentional load plus initial and intermediate processing of face identity. Interestingly, the pattern of connections that distinguished typical participants from E.C. in the I-E sequence was the recruitment of left posterior visual regions, presumably underlying analytical subroutines for structural encoding of facial stimuli. …”

Characteristics of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo among adults with ADHD: objective neurocognitive measures align with self-report of executive function by Beth Krone, Lenard A. Adler, Deepti Anbarasan, Terry Leon, Richard Gallagher, Pooja Patel, Stephen V. Faraone, Jeffrey H. Newcorn

“…SCT was also associated with a significantly distinct profile on the neuropsychological battery, characterized by a pattern of slower latencies and cognitive strategy choices across CANTAB and WAIS subtests, that reveals difficulty with increased cognitive load, which primarily accounted for the higher level of impairment in the SCT group.DiscussionThe convergence of clinical ratings and neurocognitive measures of EF deficits is consistent with the conclusion that SCT represents a distinct subgroup of adults with ADHD.…”

Characteristics of Soil Active Carbon Fractions and Carbon Pool Stability in Major Forest Types in Northern Daxing’an Mountains by LIU Beibei, CAI Tijiu

“…[Objective] Soil organic carbon is an important component of the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems, and active organic carbon can indicate changes in soil carbon pools. Studying the pattern of change of soil active carbon fractions and carbon pool stability in different forest types is of great significance to the understanding of the biogeochemical processes of the carbon cycle, and can provide a basis for the management of ecosystem carbon pools oriented to carbon sequestration and emission reduction. …”
