Non-surgical rhinoplasty using polydioxanone threads.

Objective: To demonstrate the effects of PDO threads non-surgical rhinoplasty on patients' quality of life (using FACE-Q Scale) and first impression assessments.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 10 adult patients who sought non surgical rhinoplasty to improve tip rotation or reduce the appearance of a dorsal hump. All patients fulfilled the study's enrollment criteria.

Passive Cycle Training Promotes Bone Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury without Altering Resting-State Bone Perfusion.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) produces diminished bone perfusion and bone loss in the paralyzed limbs. Activity-based physical therapy (ABPT) modalities that mobilize and/or reload the paralyzed limbs (e.g.

Transcriptomic Response of Huanglongbing-Infected Following Field Application of a Microbial Fermentation Product.

Huanglongbing (HLB) is considered the most destructive disease in production and threatens the future of the industry. Microbial-derived defense elicitors have gained recognition for their role in plant defense priming. This work assessed a 5% (V/V) microbial fermentation application (MFA) and its role in the elicitation of defense responses in HLB-infected trees following a foliar application with a pump sprayer.

Bone loss after severe spinal cord injury coincides with reduced bone formation and precedes bone blood flow deficits.

Diminished bone perfusion develops in response to disuse and has been proposed as a mechanism underlying bone loss. Bone blood flow (BF) has not been investigated within the unique context of severe contusion spinal cord injury (SCI), a condition that produces neurogenic bone loss that is precipitated by disuse and other physiological consequences of central nervous system injury. Herein, 4-mo-old male Sprague-Dawley rats received T laminectomy (SHAM) or laminectomy with severe contusion SCI ( = 20/group).

Study of inherited thrombocytopenia resulting from mutations in ETV6 or RUNX1 using a human pluripotent stem cell model.

Inherited thrombocytopenia results in low platelet counts and increased bleeding. Subsets of these patients have monoallelic germline mutations in ETV6 or RUNX1 and a heightened risk of developing hematologic malignancies. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9, we compared the in vitro phenotype of hematopoietic progenitor cells and megakaryocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines harboring mutations in either ETV6 or RUNX1.
