Abstract

The feasibility and possible effects of palatal soft-tissue expansion in palatal repair were studied. A prospective longitudinal animal experiment was performed in 75 growing cats assigned to 5 groups. In 31 cats, a midline defect was made, and bipediced flaps were raised at the age of 8 weeks (stimulated Langenbeck operation) in order to create palatal scars. At the age of 14 weeks, custom-made tissue expanders were inserted palatally in 61 animals. Tissue expansion was performed by weekly inflation in 33 cats (16 without and 17 with scars) for an 8-week period. The remaining 28 cats (14 without and 14 with scars) served as sham groups. A control group was formed by 14 animals (without scars and without tissue expanders). Soft-tissue gain and its effects on maxillofacial growth and development were measured in the midsagittal plane on tracings from standardized lateral radiographs. The effects of the experimental interventions were evaluated for 8 weeks after removal of the tissue expanders. Not all the cats yielded results at all time periods. This study showed that soft-tissue expansion of palatal mucoperiosteum is feasible. The surgically induced scars did not cause significant differences between the different groups in th...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
