cone beam computed tomography is a useful technique for imaging the craniofacial lesions. it produces more realistic images that facilitate interpretation. juvenile ossifying fibroma (jof) is a rare and benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones, especially in the maxilla. mandibular lesions can be seen in 10% of the cases.in both jaws, it has a predilection for the...

Background the crucial role of hyperactivation IFN I signaling pathway has been proved in pathogenesis dermatomyositis. genes and chemokines activity vary according to subtype inflammatory myopathies. type 1 signature could be measured using different blood, skin muscle tissue [1]. Objectives evaluate IFN-score children with dermatomyositis compare disease Methods 15 patients (5 boys 10 girls) ...

Growth hormone (GH) is an important factor in the developmental adaptation to enhance P(i) reabsorption; however, the nephron sites and mechanisms by which GH regulates renal P(i) uptake remain unclear and are the focus of the present study. Micropuncture experiments were performed after acute thyroparathyroidectomy in the presence and absence of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in adult (14- to 17-wk...

Raised serum IgG and IgM antibody levels to native type II collagen were found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in patients with juvenile chronic arthritis. There was a good correlation between the serum IgG and the IgM antibody levels in rheumatoid arthritis and a weaker correlation in juvenile chronic arthritis. Raised serum IgM antibody levels to native type II collagen were found i...

recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of arylsulphatase A (ASA). It is characterized by accumulation of sulphatide in the white matter in the central nervous system and peripheral nerves1. The disease is divided in four subtypes, according to onset, severity and progression of the disease: late infantile (before age 4), early juvenile (age 4 to 6), late juvenile (age 6 to 1...

Local synchronization, both prolonged and transient, of oscillatory neuronal behavior in cortical networks plays a fundamental role in many aspects of perception and cognition. Here we study networks of Hindmarsh-Rose neurons with a new type of adaptive coupling, and show that these networks naturally produce both permanent and transient synchronization of local clusters of neurons. These deter...
