BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess correlation between pain and degenerative bony changes on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of temporomandibular joints (TMJs). METHODS Two hundred eighty-three temporomandibular joints with degenerative bony changes were evaluated. Pain intensity (numeric rating scale, NRS) and pain duration in patients with degenerative joint disease ...

This paper uses Factored Latent Analysis (FLA) to learn a factorized, segmental representation for observations of tracked objects over time. Factored Latent Analysis is latent class analysis in which the observation space is subdivided and each aspect of the original space is represented by a separate latent class model. One could simply treat these factors as completely independent and ignore...

Naegleria fowleri is a pathogenic free-living amoeba (FLA) that causes an acute fatal disease known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). The major problem for infections with any pathogenic FLA is a lack of effective therapeutics, since PAM has a case mortality rate approaching 99%. Clearly, new drugs that are potent and have rapid onset of action are needed to enhance the treatment re...

UNLABELLED The free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous and opportunistic protozoa. They can induce human and animal diseases. The aim of our study was to detect the FLA and Acanthamoeba genus in the hydraulic system of an hemodialysis unit. It was a prospective study of 46 water samples. The first collect (23) was before cleaning and after the haemodialysis sessions and the second (23) after c...

The complex flagellar filaments of the LIO8 serogroup member Campylobacter coli VC167 are composed of two highly related subunit proteins encoded by the flaA and flaB genes which share 92% identity. Using oligonucleotide primers based on the known DNA sequence of both the flaA and flaB genes from C. coli VC167 in the polymerase chain reaction, we have shown conservation of both fla genes among ...

BACKGROUND The current method for cell line authentication is genotyping based on short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR involving coamplification of a panel of STR loci by multiplex PCR and downstream fragment length analysis (FLA), usually performed by capillary electrophoresis. FLA by capillary electrophoresis is time-consuming and can be expensive, as the facilities are generally not accessible for ...

Background. The current method for cell line authentication is short tandem repeat PCR (STR-PCR) -based genotyping involving co-amplification of a panel of STR loci by multiplex PCR and the downstream fragment length analysis (FLA), usually performed by capillary electrophoresis. FLA by capillary electrophoresis is time-consuming and can be expensive as the facilities are generally not accessib...

Thermal annealing (TA) is one of the most used processing techniques for fabrication polymer solar cells. The method not only to dry solution-processed films but also improving electrical conductivity and optical absorption materials after coating as films. Its use questionable in combination with high throughput manufacturing such roll-to-roll large-scale production since times several minutes...

A general method is presented for the direct selection of transductional clones of Salmonella containing suppressor mutations. The supD locus is about 40% cotransducible with the closest fla markers examined. The probable map order is: supD501-(flaD42-flaB36)-(flaA41-flaA37).
