Reading Strategies for Children with Developmental Language Disorder.

Developmental language disorder (DLD) is considered a neurodevelopmental disorder that compromises language comprehension and/or expression and constitutes a risk factor for learning to read. The aim of the present study was to analyse the reading strategies used by students with DLD to read sentences. There is evidence in the literature that, when linguistic resources are insufficient, the keyword strategy (identifying some of the words in the sentence with their own semantic content, with barely no processing of the function words) is used to read sentences.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Based on Machine Learning Techniques for the Detection and Transcription of Variable Message Signs on Roads.

Among the reasons for traffic accidents, distractions are the most common. Although there are many traffic signs on the road that contribute to safety, variable message signs (VMSs) require special attention, which is transformed into distraction. ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) devices are advanced systems that perceive the environment and provide assistance to the driver for his comfort or safety.

High glucose-induced oxidative stress accelerates myogenesis by altering SUMO reactions.

Skeletal muscle preservation is a dynamic process that involves constant repair and regeneration. However, the regenerative capacity of muscle cells declines in hyperglycemia. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying this glucotoxicity during myoblast differentiation.

Expression of SUMO enzymes is fiber type dependent in skeletal muscles and is dysregulated in muscle disuse.

SUMOylation is a dynamic, reversible, enzymatic drug-targetable post-translational modification (PTM) reaction where the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) moieties are attached to proteins. This reaction regulates various biological functions like cell growth, differentiation, and it is crucial for maintaining organ homeostasis. However, the actions of SUMO in skeletal muscle pathophysiology are still not investigated.

Circadian regulation of phosphodiesterase 6 genes in zebrafish differs between cones and rods: Implications for photopic and scotopic vision.

A correlation is known to exist between visual sensitivity and oscillations in red opsinand rhodopsin gene expression in zebrafish, both regulated by the clock gene. This indicates that an endogenous circadian clock regulates behavioural visual sensitivity, apart from the regulation exerted by the pineal organ. However, the specific mechanisms for cones (photopic vision) and rods (scotopic vision) are poorly understood.
