Use of real-time videoconferencing to deliver physical therapy services: A scoping review of published and emerging evidence.

Introduction: Telehealth may be a viable means to deliver physical therapy services across a range of practice settings and health conditions; however, there is limited uptake of telehealth in clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to examine and describe trends, gaps and opportunities in published and emerging evidence regarding the use of real-time videoconferencing to deliver physical therapy services.

Methods: Four databases and three trial registries were searched using terms for physical therapy and telehealth.

PyroMark® Instruments, Chemistry, and Software for Pyrosequencing® Analysis.

Since the early 2000s, Pyrosequencing(®) technology has been adapted for various instrument platforms to enable users to examine the role of epigenetic DNA methylation in gene expression regulation, genetic markers for specific phenotypes in livestock, drug resistance development in pathogens, and polymorphisms in forensic samples of mitochondrial DNA.The instruments, software, and chemistry have been modified to facilitate different sample throughputs and sample amounts. Just recently, major changes have been implemented to enable increased read length and more precise Pyrosequencing results.

Escalating immunotherapy of multiple sclerosis--new aspects and practical application.

Recent clinical studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) provide new data on the treatment of clinically isolated syndromes, on secondary progression, on direct comparison of immunomodulatory treatments and on dosing issues. All these studies have important implications for the optimized care of MS patients. The multiple sclerosis therapy consensus group (MSTCG) critically evaluated the available data and provides recommendations for the application of immunoprophylactic therapies.

Complexity and expression of the glutamine synthetase multigene family in the amphidiploid crop Brassica napus.

In the amphidiploid genome of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) the diploid ancestral genomes of B. campestris and B. oleracea have been merged.

Expression of CD44 isoforms in basal cell carcinomas.

The expression of CD44 isoforms (CD44std, CD44v6, CD44v10) was investigated by an immunohistochemical technique in 42 basal cell carcinomas (BCC) of the superficial and nodular variety. All BCCs studied displayed very low amounts of CD44std, a receptor for hyaluronic acid. Except for single CD44std-positive cells located preferentially in the central parts of the BCC nests, the bulk of the tumour formations were CD44std-negative.
