Background: Lateral facial clefts are atypical with a low incidence in the facial cleft spectrum. With the development of ultrasonography (US) prenatal screening, such facial malformations can be detected and diagnosed prenatally rather than at birth. Although three-dimensional US (3DUS) can render the fetus' face 3D reconstruction, the 3D images are displayed on two-dimensional screens without field depth, which impedes the understanding of untrained individuals.

- This study examined how the position of the placenta affects uterine artery Doppler measurements and their role in predicting early-onset preeclampsia (PE) in pregnant women.
- Researchers measured the pulsatility index (PI) of both uterine arteries in women with uncomplicated pregnancies and compared the measurements based on placental position.
- The results indicated that the PI of the uterine artery on the side with the placenta was significantly lower than the opposite side, and specific PI cut-off values demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in predicting early-onset PE.
Article Synopsis
- PPFIA1 (liprin-α1) is found to be expressed at higher levels in liver metastatic breast tumors compared to primary tumors, suggesting its role in metastasis.
- Data from two large databases indicates that high PPFIA1 expression correlates with decreased distant metastasis-free survival in estrogen receptor+ patients, specifically in the estrogen receptor+/N- subgroup.
- This research suggests that elevated PPFIA1 levels could serve as an independent predictor of increased metastatic relapse risk in estrogen receptor+/N- breast cancer patients, but not in those with estrogen receptor+/N+ or estrogen receptor- statuses.
Objective: To enhance the flowers yield of Chrysanthemum morifolium by endophytic fungi.
Methods: Endophytic fungi (Chaetomium globosum strain C4 and Botrytis sp. strain C1) were inoculated to the plantlets which were planted in the pots.
