Facial form depends on the precise positioning of cartilage, bone, and tooth fields in the embryonic pharyngeal arches. How complex signaling information is integrated to specify these cell types remains a mystery. We find that modular expression of Forkhead domain transcription factors (Fox proteins) in the zebrafish face arises through integration of Hh, Fgf, Bmp, Edn1 and Jagged-Notch pathways.

J Assist Reprod Genet
December 2017
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the angiogenic balance in fresh compared to frozen embryo transfers, and among neonates with adverse perinatal outcomes.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. All IVF cycles resulting in a singleton live birth at a university academic fertility center from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013, were examined.
Purpose: Prior studies suggest that pregnancy outcomes after autologous oocyte cryopreservation are similar to fresh in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. It is unknown whether there are differences in pregnancy and perinatal outcomes between cryopreserved oocytes and cryopreserved embryos.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study comparing pregnancy and perinatal outcomes between oocyte and embryo cryopreservation at a university-based fertility center.
Study Design: A retrospective, single-center review of all spinal deformity surgeries at the authors' institution.
Objectives: To determine the most sensitive physical examination finding as a test for motor deficits after spinal deformity surgery.
Background: Despite both reported false negatives of neuromonitoring and the potential for development of delayed deficits, the literature has paid relatively little attention to the postoperative evaluation and monitoring of neurologic integrity after correction of spinal deformity.
