Abstract Background Lateral epicondylitis is one of the commonly noticed disorders of the arm described by agony focused over lateral epicondyle which is the site of wrist extensors origin.The purpose of this work was to compare the efficiency of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and local corticoid injection in management of lateral epicondylitis
Cross Validation of Prediction Models for Seasonal Time Series by Parametric Bootstrapping
Out-of-sample prediction for the final portion of a sample is a popular tool for model selection in model-based forecasting.We suggest to add a simulation step to this exercise, where pseudo-samples are generated (parametrically bootstrapped), conditional on the observed data and on any of the candidate models, and these pseudo-samples are predicte
In Vitro Comparative Skin Irritation Induced by Nano and Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
This study was designed to determine whether Marmalades nano-sized ZnO has the potential to cause acute cutaneous irritation using cultured HaCaT keratinocytes and a human skin equivalent as in vitro models, compared to non-nanomaterials.Commercial nano ZnO with different sizes (50 nm and 100 nm) was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS)
Oligogenic analysis across broad phenotypes of 46,XY differences in sex development associated with NR5A1/SF-1 variants: findings from the international SF1next studyResearch in context
Summary: Background: Oligogenic inheritance has been suggested as a possible mechanism to explain the broad phenotype observed in individuals with differences of sex development (DSD) harbouring NR5A1/SF-1 variants.Methods: We investigated genetic patterns of possible oligogenicity in a cohort of 30 individuals with NR5A1/SF-1 variants and 46,XY DS
