A masked randomised control design compared the effectiveness of precision ophthalmic tints in improving the recognition of emotion in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Fourteen children aged 10-14 with ASD and 14 control children matched on verbal and non-verbal IQ, wore spectacles with coloured lenses to complete two tasks that involved the…[Read more]

RESULTS Quantile g-computation, unlike WQS regression, allows inference on mixture effects that is unbiased with appropriate CI coverage at sample sizes typically encountered in epidemiologic studies and when the assumptions of WQS regression are not met. Further, WQS regression can magnify bias from unmeasured confounding that might occur if…[Read more]

U pinnatifida extract supplementation also increased the mRNA expression of angiogenesis markers, including VEGFa, VEGFb, FGF1, angiopoietin 1, and angiopoietin 2, in the gastrocnemius muscles. Importantly, U pinnatifida extracts upregulated the estrogen-related receptor γ and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1-alpha…[Read more]

RESULTS 26/61 (42.6%) patients with and 14/33 (42.2%) without material had a C. acnes infection. Age (OR 0.959; 95% CI 0.914-1.000) and BMI (OR 0.884; 95% CI 0.787-0.977) were risk factors. Time to C. acnes culture positivity was not different between infections and contaminations. CONCLUSION The incidence of C. acnes infections was 42.6% in…[Read more]

All abrasives improved mechanical and surface properties in one-step vs. two-step processes. The abrasives of plastic and glass microspheres are the most appropriate for the one-step process, which increases the hardness and roughness level Ra in the substrate. Corundum abrasives enable the highest stripping rates.This paper addresses a…[Read more]

In this issue, Smyth and colleagues investigate the natural history of AKT1-mutant metastatic breast cancer using the AACR Project GENIE, a novel research platform comprised of real-world, clinicogenomic data. A rare subset of tumors, AKT1-mutant breast cancers demonstrated similar clinical and demographic characteristics and overall survival as…[Read more]
