Drs. John and Ford reported in that a variant transcript encoding receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), namely ENST00000545203 or variant 3 (), was a predominant transcript of neoplastic or normal cells in the Bioinformatic database, including GTEx and the 33 datasets from TCGA. Unlike the full-length transcript, Drs.

Hand osteoarthritis is a common disease with significant morbidity. This review aimed to update our earlier systematic reviews which included all published randomized controlled trials evaluating pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies in patients with hand osteoarthritis. A total of 133 randomized controlled trials evaluating pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies in hand osteoarthritis were reviewed.

Background And Aims: The most restrictive nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) for controlling the spread of COVID-19 are mandatory stay-at-home and business closures. Given the consequences of these policies, it is important to assess their effects. We evaluate the effects on epidemic case growth of more restrictive NPIs (mrNPIs), above and beyond those of less-restrictive NPIs (lrNPIs).

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare embryonal tumor of the central nervous system with preponderance in very young children, the majority of whom are younger than 3 years of age at diagnosis. Historically, outcomes of this aggressive disease, even with extensive multimodal therapy, have been dismal. Recent improvements have come from therapies directed exclusively towards ATRT, but misdiagnosis or delays in the correct diagnosis lead to significantly worse survival rates.

Introduction: Recent evidence suggests that resistance training (RT) may reduce metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk. We investigated whether overweight/class I obese individuals by BMI classification with high strength fitness exhibit cardiovascular/metabolic phenotypes similar to those overweight/obese and untrained or those normal-weight with high strength fitness.

Methods: A total of 90 young males were categorized into three groups: overweight untrained (OU, n = 30, BMI > 27 kg·m⁻²), overweight trained (OT, n = 30, BMI > 27 kg·m⁻², RT ≥ 4 d·wk⁻¹), and normal-weight trained (NT, n = 30, BMI < 25 kg·m⁻², RT ≥ 4 d·wk⁻¹).

Background: Pineal cysts, both simple and complex, are commonly encountered in children. More cysts are being detected with MR technology; however, nearly all pineal cysts are benign and require no follow-up.

Objective: To discover the prevalence of pineal cysts in children at our institution who have undergone high-resolution 3-T MRI.
