Wound Healing in External Rhinoplasty-The Effect of Fibrin Glue on Dead Space Closure: A Retrospective Propensity Score-Matched Study.

Introduction: The presence of "dead space" in external rhinoplasty creates a welcoming environment for erratic soft tissue contraction. Poor redraping of the skin over the underlying osseocartilaginous framework at the end of the surgery may result in its creation. If surgeons can control and reliably predict skin contraction and wound healing, septorhinoplasty results would undoubtedly improve.

Treatment of hyoid bone syndrome with surgical excision: our monocentric experience in the past five years.

Purpose: In 1968, Steinmann described the hyoid bone syndrome as a degenerative and inflammatory insertion tendinosis. It causes unilateral pain in the neck, increased by swallowing and palpation. The treatment is conservative, but when this fails, surgery is an option.

A recurrent de novo missense mutation in COL1A1 causes osteogenesis imperfecta type II and preterm delivery in Normande cattle.

Background: Nine male and eight female calves born to a Normande artificial insemination bull named "Ly" were referred to the French National Observatory of Bovine Abnormalities for multiple fractures, shortened gestation, and stillbirth or perinatal mortality.

Results: Using Illumina BovineSNP50 array genotypes from affected calves and 84 half-sib controls, the associated locus was mapped to a 6.5-Mb interval on chromosome 19, assuming autosomal inheritance with germline mosaicism.

Usefulness of serum amyloid A for the diagnosis of pyelonephritis in cats: A prospective evaluation.

Background: The diagnosis of pyelonephritis in cats is challenging and development of a noninvasive and accurate biomarker is needed.

Hypotheses: Serum amyloid A (SAA) is increased in cats with pyelonephritis, but not in cats with other urinary tract diseases.

Animals: A cohort of 125 cats (149 observations).

Evolutionary trade-off between heat shock resistance, growth at high temperature, and virulence expression in Typhimurium.

Unlabelled: Understanding the evolutionary dynamics of foodborne pathogens throughout our food production chain is of utmost importance. In this study, we reveal that Typhimurium can readily and reproducibly acquire vastly increased heat shock resistance upon repeated exposure to heat shock. Counterintuitively, this boost in heat shock resistance was invariantly acquired through loss-of-function mutations in the gene, encoding a heat shock protein that acts as a molecular co-chaperone of DnaK and enables its role in protein folding and disaggregation.
