Impact of maternal antenatal nutrition and infection treatment interventions on Longitudinal Infant Development and Growth in rural Ethiopia: protocol of the LIDG child follow-up study.

Introduction: Maternal undernutrition and inflammation in utero may significantly impact the neurodevelopmental potential of offspring. However, few studies have investigated the effects of pregnancy interventions on long-term child growth and development. This study will examine the effects of prenatal nutrition and infection management interventions on long-term growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes of offspring.

Measuring Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Traumatic Craniomaxillofacial Injuries: Development of the AO CMF Injury Symptom Battery.

Traumatic craniomaxillofacial (CMF) injuries are associated with various symptoms/concerns that affect patients' quality of life. The assessment of outcomes from the patient perspective has been limited by the absence of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures tailored to this patient population. To address this need, we employed a mixed methods, multi-step process to first identify the most important symptoms/concerns and then use this information to construct a PRO symptom battery.

Autotransplantation of Premolars to the Anterior Maxilla: A Long-Term Retrospective Cohort Study of Survival, Success, Esthetic, and Patient-Reported Outcome With up to 38-Year Follow-Up.

Background/aim: Autotransplantation is a well-documented procedure for replacing missing teeth in the anterior maxilla. This retrospective study aims to evaluate long-term survival rate, success rate as well as esthetics and patient-reported outcome of premolars autotransplanted to the anterior maxilla and secondarily to identify potential prognostic factors for survival, success, esthetic, and biological complications.

Material And Methods: One hundred and twenty-two patients with 153 transplants were assessed on survival rate and potential prognostic factors, while 50 patients with 61 autotransplanted premolars underwent clinical, radiographic, and esthetic assessment.

Integrated Experimental and Mathematical Modeling to Guide Microbial Biocatalysis: Pseudomonas putida Conversion of L-Phenylalanine to trans-Cinnamic Acid.

trans-Cinnamic acid (tCA) can be produced by the deamination of L-phenylalanine using phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL). In bioprocesses, optimizing production processes to improve key performance metrics such as titer, rate, and yield has proved challenging. This study investigates tCA production in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 using a whole-cell biocatalyst expressing four different PAL genes.
