MOLECULAR NETWORK ANALYSIS SUGGESTS A LOGICAL HYPOTHESIS FOR THE PATHOLOGICAL ROLE OF C9ORF72 IN AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS/FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA

Molecular Network Analysis Suggests a Logical Hypothesis for the Pathological Role of C9orf72 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/Frontotemporal Dementia

Background Expanded GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeats, ranging from hundreds to thousands in number, located in the noncoding region of the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 ( C9orf72 ) gene represent the most common genetic abnormality for familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (abbreviated as C9AL

Loop connectors in dentogenic diastema

Patients with a missing tooth along with diastema have limited treatment options to restore the edentulous space.The use of a conventional fixed partial denture (FPD) to replace the missing tooth may result in too wide anterior teeth leading to poor esthetics.Loss of anterior teeth with existing diastema may result concave roller in excess space av

Optimal organ-sparing intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) regimen for the treatment of locally advanced anal canal carcinoma: a comparison of conventional and IMRT plans

Abstract Background To compare the dosimetric advantage of three different intensity-modulated Entertainment Unit radiation therapy (IMRT) plans to a three dimensional (3D) conventional radiation treatment for anal cancer with regards to organs-at-risk (OAR) avoidance, including iliac bone marrow.Methods Five patients with T1-3 N0-1 anal cancer and
