Objective. The brown tumour of hyperparathyroidism is a result of a metabolic disorder caused by primary hyperparathyroidism. Report. We described a case of a 37-year-old female patient presenting bimaxillary intraoral lesions and swelling in the neck. Incisional biopsy of the oral lesion was performed and histopathological examination revealed a central giant cell lesion composed by intense ha...

Past research suggests that teachers who are the most effective classroom managers, are teachers who are the most confident in their abilities. Therefore, the importance of preparedness and classroom experiences as factors that are involved in the development and maintenance of teacher self-efficacy in behaviour management were assessed. Differences in self-efficacy in behaviour management betw...

The effects of retinoic acid (RA) isomers (all-trans-RA and 9-cis-RA) on the appearance of uncoupling protein (UCP; thermogenin), the only unequivocal molecular marker of the brown adipocyte differentiated phenotype, have been investigated in primary cultures of brown adipocytes, in the brown adipocyte cell line HIB 1B and directly in intact mice. The results obtained with cultured cells indica...

INTRODUCTION Mentorship is an important element for a successful career in any field. Physicians who have had mentors report having more career satisfaction and believe that the relationship has positively affected their job experience and promotions in their field. However, multiple studies have documented that a significant number of young physicians report not having a mentor through trainin...

A novel marine strain representing efficient degradation ability toward brown algae was isolated, identified, and assigned to Bacillus weihaiensis Alg07. The alga-associated marine bacteria promote the nutrient cycle and perform important functions in the marine ecosystem. The de novo sequencing of the B. weihaiensis Alg07 genome was carried out. Results of gene annotation and carbohydrate-acti...

Regular physical activity and exercise training have long been known to cause adaptations to white adipose tissue (WAT), including decreases in cell size and lipid content and increases in mitochondrial proteins. In this article, we discuss recent studies that have investigated the effects of exercise training on mitochondrial function, the "beiging" of WAT, regulation of adipokines, metabolic ...
