Mutations in the prophet of Pit-1 (PROP-1) gene are responsible for most of the cases of combined pituitary hormone deficiencies (CPHD).We performed this study to determine the prevalence of PROP-1 mutations in a group of Turkish children with CPHD.Fifty-three children with the diagnosis of CPHD Hair Accessories were included in this study.Clinical
Sensitivity analysis and calibration of a soil carbon model (SoilGen2) in two contrasting loess forest soils
To accurately estimate past terrestrial carbon pools is the key to understanding the global carbon cycle and its relationship with the climate system.SoilGen2 is a useful DESKS tool to obtain aspects of soil properties (including carbon content) by simulating soil formation processes; thus it offers an opportunity for both past soil carbon pool rec
Post-normal crises and technology assessment
Reflections on the challenges for science in crises have become an integral part of public policy and technology assessment (TA).The urgency and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic brought up the question of how scientific Window Cleaners disciplines and individual scientists can provide appropriate advice to decision makers and the public while m
Decreased ubiquitin modifying enzyme A20 associated with hyper-responsiveness to ovalbumin challenge following intrauterine growth restriction
Abstract Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is strongly correlated with an increased risk of asthma later in life.Farm dust SWEETS protects mice from developing house dust mite-induced asthma, and loss of ubiquitin modifying enzyme A20 in lung epithelium would abolish this protective effect.However, the mechanisms of A20 in the devel
An investigation of tendon strains in jersey finger injury load cases using a finite element neuromuscular human body model
Introduction: A common hand injury in American football, rugby and basketball is the so-called jersey finger injury Ceiling Lamps (JFI), in which an eccentric overextension of the distal interphalangeal joint leads to an avulsion of the connected musculus flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon.In the field of automotive safety assessment, finite e
