Abstract Background PubMed data potentially can provide decision support information, but PubMed was not exclusively designed to be a point-of-care tool.Natural language processing applications that summarize PubMed citations hold promise for extracting decision support information.The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a tex
Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic signature of lung alveolar macrophages reveals the integrin CD11b as a regulatory hub during pneumococcal pneumonia infection
IntroductionStreptococcus pneumoniae is one of the main causes of community-acquired infections in the lung alveoli in children and the elderly.Alveolar Stemmed Wine Glass macrophages (AM) patrol alveoli in homeostasis and under infectious conditions.However, the molecular adaptations of AM upon infections with Streptococcus pneumoniae are incomple
Utility of Photodynamic Therapy in Dentistry: Current Concepts
The significant growth in scientific and technological advancements within the field of dentistry has resulted in a wide range of novel treatment modalities for dentists to use.Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an Stemmed Wine Glass emerging, non-invasive treatment method, involving photosensitizers, light of a specific wavelength and the generation of
Selective sweeps on different pigmentation genes mediate convergent evolution of island melanism in two incipient bird species
Insular organisms often evolve predictable phenotypes, like flightlessness, extreme body sizes, or increased melanin deposition.The evolutionary forces and molecular targets mediating these patterns remain mostly unknown.Here we study the Chestnut-bellied Monarch (Monarcha castaneiventris) from the Solomon Islands, a complex of closely related subs
