Ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptor cells represent two main lines of photoreceptor-cell evolution in animals.The two cell types coexist in some animals, however how these cells functionally integrate is unknown.We used connectomics to map synaptic paths between ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptors in the planktonic larva of the annelid Platyne

This paper presents a review on using friction coefficient in modelling ballistic impact.The are discussed on friction introduced in modelling the impact at different levels: micro (fiber and yarns), meso (woven or unidirectional fabrics) and CPAP Masks macro (layered or equivalent monoblock structures).Recent works simulating the impact projectile

Introduction Priapism is an abnormally prolonged erection, painful and irreducible, unrelated to sexual stimulation.Around 25-40% of cases are iatrogenic, especially associated with pharmacological treatments, of which antipsychotics (first and second generation) account for 50%.Objectives The aim is to discuss a clinical case to provide further ev

Background and Aims: To date, more than 2,500 micro-RNAs (miRNAs) have been discovered and some of which are considered to play important roles in window of implantation (WOI).In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a miRNA-based endometrial receptivity analysis (MIRA) in IVF patients.Method: Patients who were planning for frozen-thawed

The fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot, a destructive foliar disease of wheat worldwide.The pathogen produces several necrotrophic effectors, which induce necrosis or chlorosis on susceptible wheat lines.Multiple races of Ptr have been identified, based on their ability to produce one or more of these effectors.Ptr has a wide
