Thyroid cancer has become the most common endocrine malignancy.Although the majority of differentiated thyroid cancers have a favorable prognosis, advanced thyroid cancers, iodine-refractory thyroid cancers, and highly malignant undifferentiated carcinomas still face a serious challenge of poor prognosis and even death.Cancer stem cells are recogni
The P3N-PIPO Protein Encoded by Wheat Yellow Mosaic Virus Is a Pathogenicity Determinant and Promotes Its Pathogenicity through Interaction with NbRLK6 in Nicotiana benthamiana
Similarly to other potyvirids, the bymovirus wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) encodes a P3N-PIPO protein that is expressed by frameshifting occurring within the open reading frame of korpskaft the P3 protein.P3N-PIPO is known to be essential for the cell-to-cell movement of several potyviruses, but this has not yet been confirmed for the WYMV.Here,
Karyotypic variation in Rhinophylla pumilio Peters, 1865 and comparative analysis with representatives of two subfamilies of Phyllostomidae (Chiroptera)
The family Phyllostomidae belongs to the most abundant and diverse group of bats in the Neotropics with more morphological traits variation at the family level than any other group within mammals.In this work, we present data of chromosome banding (G, C and Ag-NOR) and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for representatives of Rhinophylla pum
Determining food industry compliance to mandatory sodium limits: successes and challenges from the South African experience
Abstract Objective: To provide an update on the compliance to moondrop quarks the Na reduction regulation (R.214) and to highlight some challenges and successes experienced by South Africa in the implementation of a mandatory Na regulation.Design: The study design was observational.Nutritional information of packaged food (specified in the R.214 re
Full resolution of subacute acetabular osteomyelitis in an 11-year-old patient following nonsurgical management
Subacute acetabular osteomyelitis is uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to ill-defined symptomology and indolent disease course.An afebrile 11-year-old boy re-presented with 4 weeks atraumatic limp and increasingly severe right hip pain previously believed to be transient synovitis.Examination revealed hip tenderness and reduced mobility.X-rays sh
