Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is an age-related cause of vision loss, and the most common repeat expansion-mediated disease in humans characterised to date.Up to 80% of European FECD cases have been attributed to expansion of a non-coding CTG repeat element (termed CTG18.1) located within the ubiquitously expressed transcription factor
Musculoskeletal disorders in upper limbs in dental students: exposure level to risk factors
Aim: This study assessed the risk factors of undergraduate students to develop musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in the upper limbs, regarding gender, type of dental clinical procedure, mouth region treated, and the four-handed dentistry practice.Methods: Dental students enrolled in the 8th semester in the Araraquara School of Dentistry, UNESP, Brazi
Geochemistry of plutons in central Sumatra and their correlation to Southeast Asia tectonic history
Previous investigations of plutons in Sumatra were focused on age dating with minimum geochemistry composition analysis.The purpose of this Slicing study is to define the geochemistry classification of the intrusions in central Sumatra on describing the emplacement mechanism associated with Southeast Asia tectonics.The rocks composed of quartz, K-f
Mediator Effect of Balance Problems on Association Between Grip Strength and Falls in Older Adults: Results From the KORA-Age Study
Objective: To examine the association between grip strength and history of falls among older individuals, and to assess the possible mediating effect of balance problems on this relationship.Method: Data originate from KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg)-Age Study of 808 individuals (65 years and above).Follow-up assessment
Cross-Layer Control with Worst Case Delay Guarantees in Multihop Wireless Networks
The delay guarantee is a challenge to meet different real-time Benches requirements in applications of backpressure-based wireless multihop networks, and therefore, researchers are interested in the possibility of providing bounded end-to-end delay.In this paper, a new cross-layer control algorithm with worst case delay guarantees is proposed.The u
