In vitro mechanical evaluation of equine laryngeal tie-forward constructs performed with different suture materials and placement patterns
… larynx, also known as the laryngeal tie-forward (LTF) procedure, is the treatment of choice for dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP) in horses. The LTF procedure can be performed with different suture materials and different suture patterns or techniques. We investigated and compared the …

Central Neural Cardiorespiratory Areas in Exercise
… because neurons in the lateral tegmental field (LTF) respond to muscular contraction and produce pressor responses when stimulated, it was hypothesized that spinal neurons project directly to LTF. Wheat-germ agglutin conjugated with horseradish peroxidase was injected into LTF of cats, with a …

Characterization and Reversal of Doxorubicin-Mediated Changes In Sensory Neurons
… (5-HT)-induced long-term synaptic facilitation (LTF) in <em>Aplysia</em> sensorimotor co-cultures, a cellular analog of long-term memory formation. In addition, DOX leads to dynamic activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), consisting of an immediate and a delayed phase of …

Retention in care among HIV-infected women initiating ART during pregnancy: a cohort study
… of non-adherence and/or loss to follow-up (LTF) that may attenuate the benefits of ART for HIV transmission and maternal health. We investigated missed visits and LTF among women initiating ART during pregnancy in Cape Town, South Africa. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study was …

Efficacy of an Early Biopsychosocial Intervention for Patients with Acute Temporomandibular Disorder-Related Pain: A Long-Term Follow-Up Study
A long-term follow-up (LTF) study was conducted to further evaluate the efficacy of a biopsychosocial intervention for acute high risk (HR) temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients. Subjects from Gatchel and colleagues' one-year outcome study (Gatchel, Stowell, Wildenstein, Riggs,&Ellis, 2006) …

Rise of present-day tetrapods in the paleotropics of Late Triassic equatorial Pangaea: new insights from microvertebrate data
… termed the 'Living [Triassic to Recent] Fauna', =LTF; i.e. Salientia, Caudata, Gymnophiona, Mammaliaformes, Squamata, Rhynchocephalia, Testudinata, Crocodylomorpha, and Dinosauria). With few exceptions, only the LTF assemblage survives the end-Triassic Extinction (~201.5 Ma), highlighting the Late …

The Effects of TET2-Deficiency on Neutrophil Gene Expression and Function
… myeloperoxidase (MPO) and lactotransferrin (LTF), were assessed using quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MPO and LTF serum protein titers were quantified with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Additionally, the Tet2flox/flox Vav-iCre mouse model …

From lost to found: the silent transfer of patients on Antiretroviral Therapy in Khayelitsha, South Africa
… transfer (STF) patients as lost to follow-up (LTF) negatively impacts accurate assessment of retention in care for antiretroviral (ART) programmes. Understanding reasons why patients STF and what proportion of LTF patients constitute this silent transfer phenomenon is necessary to ensure …

Timber shear walls for a sustainable build future
… mechanically joined to the frame. Consequently LTF walls are considered, the study is directed towards shear wall models for the evaluation of deformations. The second paper focuses on the evaluation of the displacement at the top of LTF walls subjected to horizontal loads. This is a key aspect …

HYDRAULIC COMPATIBILITY OF GEOTEXTILES FILTERING RECYCLED MATERIALS
… are essential. A series of long-term filtration (LTF) tests were performed to evaluate the hydraulic compatibility of several woven and nonwoven geotextiles with four recycled materials commonly used in construction (recycled concrete aggregate, recycled asphalt pavement, foundry sand and recycled …

Role of Synapsin In Long-Term Synaptic Facilitation In Aplysia
… synapse induces long-term facilitation (LTF) of synaptic transmission, which lasts for days, as well as the formation of new connections between the sensory and motor neuron.</p> <p>Results from immunofluorescence analysis indicated that 5-HT treatment upregulates synapsin protein levels …

The evolution and effectiveness of the South African antiretroviral therapy program
… outcomes like mortality and loss to follow-up (LTF) are limited. A few cohorts have published patient outcomes but there is no national reporting on ART scale-up and its impact on the health of HIV-infected individuals. Yet such monitoring of outcomes is vital to inform and improve service …

Decoding details : integrating physics of assembly in discrete element structures
… local instability. Local translation freedom (LTF) analysis shows the range of feasible assembly directions. Detailing knowledge is studied and encoded in shape rules to create a detail grammar. Real time visual feedback of the constraints informs the designer to apply these rules to create …

Synthesis of zeolites from geological materials and industrial wastes for potential application in environmental problems
… CHA and SOD with traces of TOB, ANA, zeolite LTF (LTF) and herschelite (HER), appearing occasionally. By the fusion approach, FAU was obtained with NaOH as activator, whereas no zeolitic material crystallized using KOH. Experimental results indicate that the method, mineralizer, concentration …

The Role of PRICKLE1 in the Regulation of Uterine Structure and Physiology
… endometrial epithelial-specific cKO (Prickle1f/f Ltf+/icre), I hypothesized that the loss of PRICKLE1 in the myometrium leads to a UL phenotype and disrupts PCP in the endometrial epithelium. The findings showed that PRICKLE1 loss in the myometrium resulted in fibrotic structure formation, altered …
