A novel frameshift variant in the gene is associated with recessive oculodentodigital dysplasia.

Background: Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) is a rare syndrome that causes a constellation of facial, ophthalmic, dental, and limb abnormalities. Variants in the gap junction alpha-1 () gene have been described in patients with ODDD. Hereby we present the ocular manifestations in a patient with recessive ODDD due to a novel homozygous frameshift variant in .

Taxonomy of high pressure vibration spectra of zincblende semiconductor alloys based on the percolation model.

Due to their simple structure (two bond species randomly arranged on a cubic lattice), the zincblende ABC semiconductor alloys (zb-SCA) set a benchmark to explore how physical properties are impacted by disorder. A longstanding controversy was whether the lattice dynamics (phonons), governed by the bond force constant, i.e.

Sex-dependent gastrointestinal colonization resistance to MRSA is microbiota and Th17 dependent.

Gastrointestinal (GI) colonization by methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is associated with a high risk of transmission and invasive disease in vulnerable populations. The immune and microbial factors that permit GI colonization remain unknown. Male sex is correlated with enhanced nasal carriage, skin and soft tissue infections, and bacterial sepsis.

Comparative efficacy of In-office and walking bleach techniques in whitening of non-vital teeth.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two non vital whitening techniques, In-office and Walking Bleach, using 35% hydrogen peroxide. The primary research question was to determine which technique achieves greater tooth color improvement.

Materials And Methods: Fifty non-vital anterior teeth with discoloration were randomly assigned to either the In-office (n = 25) or Walking Bleach (n = 25) groups.

Interleukin 10 drives Staphylococcus aureus imprinting and vaccine failure in murine models via antibody glycosylation.

Despite many attempts, there is currently no approved vaccine to prevent Staphylococcus aureus infections. Preclinical vaccination models have failed to predict vaccine efficacy in humans as S. aureus exposure in humans imprints an immune response that is lacking in naive animals.
