BACKGROUND Mutations in WDR72 have been identified in autosomal recessive hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). OBJECTIVE to describe a novel WDR72 mutation and report the ultrastructural enamel phenotype associated with a different WDR72 mutation. METHODS A family segregating autosomal recessive hypomaturation AI was recruited, genomic DNA obtained and WDR72 sequenced. Four deciduou...

A collaboration of multidisciplinary experts on the delivery of pharmaceutical aerosols was facilitated by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM), in order to draw up a consensus statement with clear, up-to-date recommendations that enable the pulmonary physician to choose the type of aerosol delivery device that is most suitable for...

The analysis of feedback effects between continental surfaces and the atmosphere is a key element in the understanding of African monsoon dynamics. For this reason, the monitoring of surface parameters, in particular soil moisture, is essential. Satellite remote sensing appears to be the most suitable means of obtaining data relevant to such parameters. The present paper presents the results of...

This paper presents one of the interferometric related applications that has recently attracted more interest from the scientific community. The objective is to exploit the coherence information derivable from a couple of ERS SAR images to evaluate land surface characteristics and its changes. An area located in Patagony has been selected for this work. Results should provide information about ...
