Enhanced sensitivity of TAPscan v4 enables comprehensive analysis of streptophyte transcription factor evolution.

Transcription-associated proteins (TAPs) fulfill multiple functions in regulatory and developmental processes and display lineage-specific evolution. TAPscan is a comprehensive and highly reliable tool for genome-wide TAP annotation via domain profiles. Here, we present TAPscan v4, including an updated web interface (https://tapscan.

Evaluation of oral health in 148 patients with systemic sclerosis-data from a prospective interdisciplinary monocentric cohort.

In daily rheumatology practice, systemic sclerosis is primarily regarded as a potentially life-threatening disease characterized by fibrosis of various organs. Therefore, other manifestations, such as orofacial involvement, are often not of primary concern. Furthermore, due to its rarity, the disease might not be well known by dentists, which contrasts with the increased risk of various problems in the oral cavity.

Craniofacial risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea-systematic review and meta-analysis.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by temporary partial or complete constriction of the upper airway during sleep which leads to reduced blood oxygen and cardiovascular risks. Main symptoms vary between adults and children leading to misdiagnosis or delayed patient identification. To improve early diagnosis, lateral cephalograms can provide craniofacial measurements associated with a higher risk of OSA.

Retrospective evaluation of the orthodontic treatment needs in primary school children with Robin sequence following Tübingen palatal plate therapy in infancy.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the orthodontic treatment needs (OTN) of children with RS treated with the TPP in infancy compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

Methods: The aim of this study was to investigate the orthodontic treatment needs (OTN) of children with RS treated with the TPP in infancy compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

Results: In 21 children with RS (n = 23; 19 non-syndromic, 4 syndromic; average age 9.
