Profile-analysis experiments measure the ability to discriminate complex sounds based on patterns, or profiles, in their amplitude spectra. Studies of profile analysis have focused on normal-hearing listeners and target frequencies near 1 kHz. To provide more insight into underlying mechanisms, we studied profile analysis over a large target frequency range (0.

Objective: Adreno CorticoTropic Hormone (ACTH)-independent Cushing's syndrome (CS) in children is very rare but potentially fatal. In bilateral nodular hyperplasia, synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy (SBA) represents the definitive treatment to correct hypercortisolism. We aim to report the multidisciplinary management of this rare condition.

Superficial angiomyxoma is a benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that affects both sexes with a slight predilection for males. It can present in a solitary or multiple form, within the framework of the Carney complex, an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by the triad: cutaneous and cardiac myxomas, skin pigmentation and endocrine overactivity. They occur more commonly in the head and neck, trunk and lower limbs; the location in the genital region and particularly in the scrotum is very unusual.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed a method to create living microlenses using engineered bacteria that produce a silica biomineralization enzyme, allowing for advanced control over their structure.
  • These bacteria form a shell of polysilicate, enabling them to focus light into intense nanojets that are significantly brighter than unmodified bacteria.
  • This innovative approach presents a cost-effective and durable solution for producing photonic components with unique optical properties, showcasing the potential of synthetic biology in the field.
