The study by Y. Lu et al. (2008) reported here is a retrospective analysis of an original cohort of more than 1000 children who attended the Neuropediatric Department of Kiel University Hospital in Germany over a period of almost 30 years (1975-2002). To be included, patients had to have had at least two EEG studies with intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) performed between the ages of five a...

Recent identification of several different types of RNA editing factors in plant organelles suggests complex RNA editosomes within which each factor has a different task. However, the precise protein interactions between the different editing factors are still poorly understood. In this paper, we show that the E+-type pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein SLO2, which lacks a C-terminal cytidin...

OBJECTIVE To identify the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) changes associated with a patient-centered interview (PCI) and a positive provider-patient relationship (PPR). METHODS Nine female patients participated, five randomly selected to undergo a replicable, evidence-based PCI, the other four receiving standard clinician-centered interviews (CCI). To verify that PCI differed fro...

BACKGROUND Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute infectious viral disease affecting domestic small ruminants (sheep and goats) and some wild ruminant species in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. A global PPR control strategy based on mass vaccination-in regions where PPR is endemic-was recently designed and launched by international organizations. Sahelian Africa is one of the most chall...

Introduction: Traditional treatment for papulopustular rosacea (PPR) has been challenged due to systemic side effects or frequent relapses, which necessitates new treatments. Preliminary evidence showed that conventional photodynamic therapy (c-PDT) is an efficient in treating PPR, but the pain and severe hyperpigmentation are urgent need of improvement, while use daylight (DL-PDT) AHA 30% chem...

A pre-performance routine (PPR) refers to a set of task-relevant thoughts and actions an athlete systematically engages in prior performance execution. The aim this meta-analysis was determine the effectiveness PPR intervention facilitate sport performance. included 112 effect sizes from pre–post experimental designs low-pressure pressurised conditions. Extensive PPRs with several preparatory e...

With the abundance of conversations happening everywhere, dialogue summarization plays an increasingly important role in real world. However, dialogues inevitably involve many personal pronouns, which hinder performance existing models. This work proposes a framework named WHORU to inject external pronoun resolution (PPR) information into abstractive A simple and effective PPR method for domain...

Mean trophic level (MTL) of landings and primary production required (PPR) by fisheries are increasingly used in the assessment of sustainability in fisheries. However, in their present form, MTL and PPR are prone to misinterpretation. We show that it is important to account for actual catch data, define an appropriate historical and spatial domain, and carefully consider the effects of fisheri...

The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) is a degenerate 35–amino acid repeat motif that is widely distributed among eukaryotes. Genetic, biochemical, and bioinformatic data suggest that many PPR proteins influence specific posttranscriptional steps in mitochondrial or chloroplast gene expression and that they may typically bind RNA. However, biological functions have been determined for only a few P...
