Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be associated with difficulties and decreased rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Lemborexant (LEM), a dual-orexin-receptor-antagonist approved to treat adults insomnia, increases total time (TST) REM sleep, demonstrated respiratory safety in subjects mild through severe OSA. Sleep architecture was thus analyzed after LEM treatment those subjects. Metho...

BACKGROUND HuR expression has been noted in several cancer types, in which it may contribute to increased expression of cellular inhibitors of apoptosis protein-2 (cIAP2) observed during tumorigenesis. METHODS To assess the correlation between cIAP2 and HuR in cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the expression patterns of HuR and cIAP2 were assessed by immunohistochemical analyses o...

Virtual Compton Scattering (VCS), which can be studied in the reaction e+p! e0+p+ , is a powerful new tool to access nucleon structure. It is the natural complement to form factor measurements, real Compton scattering ( + p ! 0 + p), and realand virtualphotoproduction. The p(e; e0p) reaction includes the coherent sum of the VCS amplitude and the Bethe-Heitler (BH) or radiative tail amplitude. I...

Introduction Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) accounts for 10-20% of all patients with JIA. The clinical features include fever, evanescent rash, arthralgia and arthritis, myalgia, lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and serositis. Interleukin 1 (IL-1) has been shown to be a major mediator of the inflammatory cascade that underlies sJIA (1). Treatment with anakinra, IL-1 re...

This study evaluated the mechanical strength correlated to percentage of total volume weld and porosities Co-Cr alloy joints welded with TIG technique. Thirty specimens were perpendicularly sectioned long-axis rejoined by using X30-shaped joint design welding. They divided into 3 groups (n=10): CG1 a 60-A depth 90-ms pulse; CG2 120-ms pulse CG3 160-ms pulse. The submitted nondestructive tests: ...

CONTEXT The mechanisms that contribute to the development of chronic ankle instability are not understood. Investigators have developed a hypothetical model in which neuromuscular alterations that stem from damaged ankle ligaments are thought to affect periarticular and proximal muscle activity. However, the retrospective nature of these studies does not allow a causal link to be established. ...
