 Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery , Analysis of contemporary tools for the measurement of enophthalmos: a PRISMA-driven systematic reviewEnophthalmos has many causes, and serious post-traumatic cases indicate the need for operation. Such diagnoses should be made objectively, and a robust method for quantifying the degree to which the globe has been displaced is key. Current methods of measurement, however, have long been considered unreliable and inconsistent, in particular with regard to interobserver...

Up-regulating microRNA-203 alleviates myocardial remodeling and cell apoptosis through down-regulating PTP1B in rats with myocardial infarctionMyocardial infarction (MI) is one of cardiovascular diseases with high incidence and mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as post-transcriptional regulators of genes, are involved in many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. The aim of present study was to determine whether miR-203 was functional in MI therapy and how it worked. Left anterior descending...

Evaluating the performance of automated sphygmomanometers using a patient simulatorBackground and objective: Automated sphygmomanometers use the oscillometric method to measure blood pressure, which is based on an algorithm that relates the amplitude of the oscillometric waveform pulses and the pressure inside the cuff. Validation uses empirical information from clinical trials conducted by each manufacturer. Consequently, measurement algorithms are not harmonized, being based on distinct arterial...

Behavioral States Modulate Sensory Processing in Early DevelopmentAbstractPurpose of ReviewSleep-wake states modulate cortical activity in adults. In infants, however, such modulation is less clear; indeed, early cortical activity comprises bursts of neural activity driven predominantly by peripheral sensory input. Consequently, in many studies of sensory development in rodents, sensory processing has been carefully investigated, but the modulatory role of behavioral state has typically been ignored.Recent...
