Modern ecumenical engagement presupposes more critical historiography its attempts to deconstruct naively self-interested narrations identity, particularly the ways which competing vis...

objective a 4-month-old female with osteogenesis imperfecta (oi) type ii was admitted in picu of our center due to severe respiratory distress and fever with a diagnosis of severe pneumonia, and mechanical ventilation was initiated. due to severe hypotonia, ncv and emg were performed, and spinal muscular atrophy (sma) type i was diagnosed.

objective(s) it is believed that the mesenchymal stem cell (msc) differentiation and proliferation are the results of activation of wnt signaling pathway. on the other hand, lithium chloride is reported to be able to activate this pathway. the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of lithium on in vitro proliferation and bone differentiation of marrow-derived msc. materials and ...

background: characteristics of differentiated osteoblasts from adipose derived stem cells (adscs) in compared with isolated osteoblasts from normal bone such as calvaria are unknown. the aim of this study was determination and comparison of phenotypic characterization between differentiated osteoblasts from stem cells and calvaria osteoblasts in vitro . methods: in this study, mesenchymal stem ...

rGO densification prior to polymer compounding affects the composite printability and physicochemical properties, which also depend on concentration. The resulting scaffolds support cell viability osteogenesis, possess antibacterial properties.

A 77-year-old woman with osteogenesis imperfecta was admitted with symptomatic choledocholithiasis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was carried out and mild resistance was encountered in the distal esophagus with “red out” during intubation. The duodenoscope was withdrawn and gastroscopy revealed a tear in the distal esophagus (●" Fig.1). As a perforation was suspected, a ...
