Background: the protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit alpha (PPP3CA) gene encodes for the alpha isoform of the calcineurin catalytic subunit, which controls the phosphorylation status of many targets. Currently, 23 pathogenic variants of PPP3CA are known, with clinical manifestations varying by mutation type and domain.
Results: through whole exome sequencing, we found two de novo variants in PPP3CA: a frameshift variant predicted leading to a truncated protein in Pt.
Purpose: In this study, we investigated whether experimental knee pain alters lower limb kinematics and knee arthrokinematics during gait, and if this motor adaptation depends on the spatial characteristics of the painful stimulus.
Methods: Twenty-one participants walked on a treadmill for 60-s trials, either without stimulation or while experiencing painful electrical stimulation in the medial, lateral or anterior region of the knee. Perceived pain location was analyzed using pain drawing.
Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to evaluate the effects of pulse modulation technology on laser lithotripsy and prostate enucleation in endourology, focusing on efficiency, safety, and tissue interaction.
- A systematic search of studies from the last 20 years identified 29 articles that examined these technologies, with preclinical studies showing promise in stone fragmentation but mixed results in clinical settings.
- While pulse modulation can improve operational efficiency and reduce thermal safety risks, its benefits for prostate surgery outcomes remain inconsistent, yielding comparable rates to standard modalities in terms of stone-free status and complications.
The cardoon ( L.), is a perennial plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, and its cultivated species are widely used in the Mediterranean diet. This review provides an overview of cardoons' chemical composition, bioactive properties and multiple industrial and food applications.
