The treatment of severe alopecia areata (AA) remains highly challenging. A breakdown immune privilege the hair follicle resulting in development an admixed infiltrate antigen-presenting cells and CD4+ CD8+ T lymphocytes is hypothesized to represent important driver AA (Pratt et al., 2017Pratt C.H.

The researchers of this collective case study sought to explore and understand the population of a cohort group of 22 pre-service teachers in agricultural education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcomes of using problem-based learning cases by pre-service teachers to learn how to manage difficult student problems related to FF...

There is no agreement on the etiology of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and the main theories (behavioural and viral/immune) do not satisfactorily explain all findings. A growing body of evidence shows that CFS appears to be a dysfunction of the stress system—and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis in particular—as a result of chronic stress. CFS shares many similarities to occupatio...

Despite the increasing clinical importance of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), little is known about its underlying pathogenesis or specific treatment. The senescence marker protein 30 (SMP30), which regulates biosynthesis vitamin C (VC) in many mammals, except primates and humans, was recently recognized as a gluconolactonase. However, precise relation between VC lipid metabolism NAFL...

Higham and Vokey (1999, Experiment 1) demonstrated that identifying a briefly displayed word prior to presenting that item in the clear for recognition, enhanced the bias to respond “old” relative to misidentification and that this effect was independent of item selection artifacts. Three experiments investigated the phenomenology associated with this illusion of memory using the standard R/K p...
