Comparison between ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block and paravertebral block on acute and chronic post mastectomy pain after modified radical mastectomy: randomized controlled trial.

Background: Inadequate acute postoperative pain management is linked to the effect on the stress response and development of chronic pain. A unique regional anaesthetic method that is becoming more important for postoperative pain management is erector spinea plane block (ESP). Since its initial description, physicians have questioned weather this novel easy method can take the place of paravertebral block (PVB).

ME2 Deficiency Is Associated With Recessive Neurodevelopmental Disorder.

Malate is an important dicarboxylic acid produced from fumarate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Deficiencies of fumarate hydrolase (FH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), responsible for malate formation and metabolism, respectively, are known to cause recessive forms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The malic enzyme isoforms, malic enzyme 1 (ME1) and 2 (ME2), are required for the conversion of malate to pyruvate.

Response surface optimization of a single-step castor oil-based biodiesel production process using a stator-rotor hydrodynamic cavitation reactor.

In order to combat environmental pollution and the depletion of non-renewable fuels, feasible, eco-friendly, and sustainable biodiesel production from non-edible oil crops must be augmented. This study is the first to intensify biodiesel production from castor oil using a self-manufactured cylindrical stator-rotor hydrodynamic cavitation reactor. In order to model and optimize the biodiesel yield, a response surface methodology based on a 1/2 fraction-three-level face center composite design of three levels and five experimental factors was used.

MiRNA expression profiling reveals a potential role of microRNA-148b-3p in cerebral vasospasm in subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) is an important contributor to delayed cerebral ischemia following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), leading to high morbidity and long-term disability. While several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in vasospasm, the underlying mechanisms for CVS remain poorly understood. Our study aims to identify miRNAs that may contribute to the development of CVS.

Chromosomal structural rearrangements implicate long non-coding RNAs in rare germline disorders.

In recent years, there has been increased focus on exploring the role the non-protein-coding genome plays in Mendelian disorders. One class of particular interest is long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which has recently been implicated in the regulation of diverse molecular processes. However, because lncRNAs do not encode protein, there is uncertainty regarding what constitutes a pathogenic lncRNA variant, and thus annotating such elements is challenging.
