BACKGROUND The optimal operative method for acromioclavicular joint reconstruction remains controversial. The modified Weaver-Dunn method is one of the most popular methods. Anatomic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligaments with autogenous tendon grafts, widely used in treating chronic acromioclavicular joint instability, reportedly diminishes pain, eliminates sequelae, and improves functio...

Abstract Antioxidant potential of weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina (adult & brood) and termite Odontotermes sp the two common species insects used as food by tribes Arunachal Pradesh elsewhere in India. Our findings highlight antioxidant these insects. DPPH • scavenging activity IC50 (µg/mL) ranged from 59.56 (weaver adult) to 66.30 (termite). Termite scored higher ABTS •+ (IC50: µg/mL), Fe...

PURPOSE. To compare the subjective outcome of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) reconstruction using the modified Weaver-Dunn procedure versus the Surgilig synthetic ligament. METHODS. 55 patients aged 19 to 72 (mean, 42) years underwent ACJ reconstruction of Rockwood grade 3 (n=38), grade 4 (n=8), and grade 5 (n=9) using the modified Weaver-Dunn procedure (n=31) or the Surgilig synthetic ligament ...

The weaver (wv) gene has been identified as a glycine to serine substitution at residue 156 in the H5 region of inwardly rectifying K(+) channel, GIRK2. The mutation is permissive for the expression of homotetrameric channels that are nonselective for cations and G-protein-independent. Coexpression of GIRK2wv with GIRK1, GIRK2, or GIRK3 in Xenopus oocytes along with expression of subunit combin...

Stimulation of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors, such as gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABAB) receptors, activates G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ channels (GIRK) which, in turn, influence membrane excitability. Seizure activity has been reported in a Girk2 null mutant mouse lacking GIRK2 channels but showing normal cerebellar development as well as in the weaver mouse, which has ...

Aneuploidy and structural variations (SVs) generate cancer genomes containing a mixture of rearranged genomic segments with extensive somatic copy number alterations. However, existing methods can identify either SVs or allele-specific copy number alterations but not both simultaneously, which provides a limited view of cancer genome structure. Here, we introduce Weaver, an algorithm for the qu...

Previous studies have identified the cerebellar granule cell as a primary site of gene action in the weaver mutant mouse. The temporal expression of the weaver mutant granule cell phenotype has not been fully investigated. To identify early postnatal expression of the weaver mutant phenotype, we quantitated 4 parameters of cerebellar development in postnatal day 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 +/+, wv/+, and...
