INTRODUCTION Accurate corneal measurements are crucial in corneal refractive surgery (CRS) to ensure successful outcomes. Soft contact lens (SCL) wear may result in changes to corneal curvature and structure. United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pre-operative guidelines recommend that prior to CRS, SCL wearers cease SCL wear for "at least two weeks before examination and treatment" ...

INTRODUCTION Fracture healing is a complex biological process involving inflammation, granulation, callus formation, and bone modeling/remodeling. Optimal fracture healing results in complete restoration of bone structure and function to the pre-fracture levels. However, some fractures are associated with a high risk of delayed union, non-union and other complications. This leads to significant...

In normal hemopoietic cells that are dependent on specific growth factors for cell survival, the expression of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor SCL/Tal1 correlates with that of c-Kit, the receptor for Steel factor (SF) or stem cell factor. To address the possibility that SCL may function upstream of c-kit, we sought to modulate endogenous SCL function in the CD34(+) hemopoietic c...

Anti-PM/Scl antibodies represent a specific serological marker for a subset of patients with scleroderma (Scl) and polymyositis (PM), and especially with the PM/Scl overlap syndrome (PM/Scl). Anti-PM/Scl reactivity is found in 24% of PM/Scl patients and is found in 3-10% of Scl and PM patients. The PM/Scl autoantigen complex comprises 11-16 different polypeptides. Many of those proteins can ser...

speculated that bHLH SCL functions against WT SCL through the competition for binding to these proteins. To further explore the underlying biochemical mechanisms, we have sequenced some of these coprecipitated proteins, which we hope will be reported in the near future. We disagree with the comment by the questioners that we should be able to show the rescue of the effect of bHLH SCL with WT SC...

Abstract We propose a new calculus SCL(EQ) for first-order logic with equality that only learns non-redundant clauses. Following the idea of CDCL (Conflict Driven Clause Learning) and SCL (Clause Learning from Simple Models) ground literal model assumption is used to guide inferences are then guaranteed be non-redundant. Redundancy defined respect dynamically changing ordering derived assumptio...

The stem cell leukemia (SCL) gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor with a critical role in the development of both blood and endothelium. Loss-of-function studies have shown that SCL is essential for the formation of hematopoietic stem cells, for subsequent erythroid development and for yolk sac angiogenesis. SCL exhibits a highly conserved pattern of expression from mammal...
