The RAR1 and SGT1 proteins function synergistically or antagonistically in plant innate immune responses.Here, we show that the rice orthologs OsRAR1 and OsSGT1 physically interact in vivo and in yeast.They displayed conserved roles in Arabidopsis disease resistance through ectopic expression in the Arabidopsis rar1 and sgt1 mutants.Overexpression
A nomogram based on radiomics intermuscular adipose analysis to indicate arteriosclerosis in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes
ObjectiveEarly identifying arteriosclerosis in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients could contribute to choosing proper subjects for early prevention.Here, we aimed to investigate whether radiomic intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) analysis could be used as a novel marker to indicate arteriosclerosis in newly diagnosed T2D patients.Metho
The pattern and prevalence of vertebral artery injury in patients with cervical spine fractures
Aim: It is not uncommon for vertebral artery injury to occur when there are fractures through the transverse foraminae of the first to the sixth vertebral bodies.Other important risk factors for vertebral artery injury include facet joint dislocations and fractures of the first to the third cervical vertebral bodies.The aim of this study was to det
Confound modelling in UK Biobank brain imaging
Dealing with confounds is an essential Dressing Stool step in large cohort studies to address problems such as unexplained variance and spurious correlations.UK Biobank is a powerful resource for studying associations between imaging and non-imaging measures such as lifestyle factors and health outcomes, in part because of the large subject numbers
