FEASIBILITY AND SAFETY OF RESEARCH SIGMOID COLON BIOPSY IN A COHORT OF THAI MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN WITH ACUTE HIV-1

Feasibility and safety of research sigmoid colon biopsy in a cohort of Thai men who have sex with men with acute HIV-1

Background: The gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is a major reservoir of HIV-1 established early in acute HIV-1 infection (AHI).Sampling tissue from GALT can provide information about viral reservoirs and immune responses but may be complicated during AHI for reasons such as high viral replication, CD4 T cell depletion and immune activation.Ri

A missing piece in the puzzle: the presence of Euglossa viridissima in the Baja California Peninsula (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

Orchid bees are a conspicuous component of the neotropical bee fauna, with Support Bracket a few species reaching the northernmost natural distribution for the group in northwestern continental Mexico.Among them, Euglossa viridissima Friese is here reported for the first time in the Cape Region of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico, where no spe

Oral fibrolipoma: A rare histological variant

Lipomas are benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms.Fibrolipoma is a histological variant of lipoma Support Bracket that mostly affects the buccal mucosa and causes functional and cosmetic disabilities.The diagnosis and differentiation of fibrolipoma with clinically similar lesions such as fibroma and pleomorphic adenoma is very essential for a co

Reconstructing sources location of visual color cortex by the task-irrelevant visual stimuli through machine learning decoding

Visual color sensing is generated by electrical discharges from endocranial neuronal sources that penetrate the skull and reach to the cerebral cortex.However, the space location of the source generated by this neural mechanism remains elusive.In this paper, we emulate the generation of visual color signal by task-irrelevant stimuli to activate bra
