ObjectiveTo elucidate the molecular cause in a well-characterized cohort of patients with Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) and Dyshormonogenesis (DH) by using targeted next-generation sequencing (TNGS).Study designWe studied 19 well-characterized patients diagnosed with CH and sofia barclay sexy DH by targeted NGS including genes involved in thyroid
BackgroundAcute sleep deprivation (ASD) can effect mood, attention, memory, alertness and metabolism.Especially, it is often accompanied by cognitive impairment of the brain.Acupuncture is safe and effective for improving cognitive function, but its underlying mechanism is not fully understood.In this study, an event-related potential (ERP) superdr
The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences launched its airborne sniffer program in 2015 whereby a custom-built sniffer sensor u11-200ps was installed onboard the Belgian coastguard aircraft enabling the measurement of SO2 and NOx emitted by ocean-going vessels (OGVs).The data gathered on non-compliant OGVs were subsequently sent to port inspe
BackgroundThe comparative advantages of robotic posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (RPRA) over laparoscopic posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (LPRA) remain a topic of ongoing debate within the medical community.This systematic literature review and meta-analysis aim to assess the safety and efficacy of RPRA compared to LPRA, with the ult
Differences in mRNA expression levels have been observed in failing versus non-failing human hearts for several membrane channel proteins and accessory subunits.These differences may play a causal role in electrophysiological changes observed in human heart failure and atrial fibrillation, such as action potential (AP) prolongation, increased AP tr
