background : glenoid bone damages consisting of anterior rim erosion and bony avulsion are very important in decision making for treatment of recurrent dislocation in shoulder joint. this study was aimed to determine the prevalence of these damages in patients with anterior recurrent shoulder dislocation. methods : the study was a cross-sectional study evaluating patients with unstable shoulder...

Pico is a user authentication system that does not require remembering secrets. It is based on a personal handheld token that holds the user’s credentials and that is unlocked by a “personal aura” generated by digital accessories worn by the owner. The token, acting as prover, engages in a public-key-based authentication protocol with the verifier. What would happen to Pico if success of the my...

Information on recent photosynthetic biomass distribution and biogeography of Arctic marine pico-eukaryotes (0.2-3 μm) is needed to better understand consequences of environmental change for Arctic marine ecosystems. We analysed pico-eukaryote biomass and community composition in Fram Strait and large parts of the Central Arctic Ocean (Nansen Basin, Amundsen Basin) using chlorophyll a (Chl a) m...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful and widely used approach to investigate gene function, but a major limitation of the approach is the high incidence of non-specific phenotypes that arise due to off-target effects. We previously showed that RNAi-mediated knock-down of pico, which encodes the only member of the MRL family of adapter proteins in Drosophila, resulted in reduction in cell numbe...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between sublingual PCO(2) (PslCO(2)) and other indexes of tissue perfusion. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Medical and coronary ICUs in a tertiary-care teaching hospital. SUBJECTS Twenty-five patients with circulatory failure, 19 patients with sepsis, and 6 patients with cardiac failure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS PslCO(2), gastr...

The Internet enables new forms of crowdsourcing by electronic platforms. Companies can use these platforms for opening up their innovation processes and for integrating customers by small, highly structured paid tasks. We call these tasks Pico-Jobs and illustrate them as an open innovation tool for systematically utilising the creative potential of customers for activities during the innovation...

BACKGROUND Greater than half of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel report work-related fatigue, yet there are no guidelines for the management of fatigue in EMS. A novel process has been established for evidence-based guideline (EBG) development germane to clinical EMS questions. This process has not yet been applied to operational EMS questions like fatigue risk management. The objecti...

MIG-10/RIAM/lamellipodin (MRL) proteins link activated Ras-GTPases with actin regulatory Ena/VASP proteins to induce local changes in cytoskeletal dynamics and cell motility. MRL proteins alter monomeric (G):filamentous (F) actin ratios, but the impact of these changes had not been fully appreciated. We report here that the Drosophila MRL ortholog, pico, is required for tissue and organismal gr...
