title: Children's coordination in immersive VR

description: The dataset contains the (raw) data and subject demographics for 2 studies investigating the coordination of young children when using immersive VR. <strong>Study 1</strong> The participants executed an immersive flight game, in which an eagle is steered along a path with coins to collect, either with the head or the torso. The experiments consists of 5 phases:<em> evaluation Before, Training1, Training 2, evaluation After, evaluation Day After</em>. The first 4 phases were performed consecutively, the last one on the subsequent day to assess retention. <strong>Study 2</strong> Joint angle reproduction test (JAR) done in VR, with the head and the torso. 3 conditions were tested: <em>feedback</em> (a line represents the segment with which the test is done in addition to the target orientation), still (no feedback line), and <em>forward</em> (no feedback line, and a constant forward speed is stimulated). Flight game: one round of the game executed with the torso, corresponding to the phase <em>evaluation Before</em> of Study 1 The folders contain the following files : Study 1 (Flight game), Study 2 (Flight game) BodyAngles: tridimensional head and torso rotations at each latency manoeuvreList: list of coin position (waypoints) and the required movement with respect to the preceeding one (baseline = straight forward) TimeAngleRatePosRot : position of the flying object (eagle) at each latency waypointDistTime: distance to each coin (waypoint), perpendicular to the theoretical flight path; time from previous coin The files TimeAngleRatePos contain rows filled with '999', which indicate the passing of one coin (specifically crossing the plane containing the coin and perpendicular to the planned flight trajectory). This allows to split the data into trials. The BodyAngle files do not contain these rows; the indices identified in the corresponding TimeAngleRatePos files can be used to split these files. Study 2 Body Angles: as described above Events: Time of the display of a new target orientation and corresponding angle

title: Molecular differential analysis of uterine leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas through weighted gene network and pathway tracing approaches

description: Uterine smooth muscular neoplastic growths like benign leiomyomas (UL) and metastatic leiomyosarcomas (ULMS) share similar clinical symptoms, radiological and histological appearances making their clinical distinction a difficult task. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify key genes and pathways involved in transformation of UL to ULMS through molecular differential analysis. Global gene expression profiles of 25 ULMS, 25 UL, and 29 myometrium (Myo) tissues generated on Affymetrix U133A 2.0 human genome microarrays were analyzed by deploying robust statistical, molecular interaction network, and pathway enrichment methods. The comparison of expression signals across Myo vs UL, Myo vs ULMS, and UL vs ULMS groups identified 249, 1037, and 716 significantly expressed genes, respectively (p ≤ 0.05). The analysis of 249 DEGs from Myo vs UL confirms multistage dysregulation of various key pathways in extracellular matrix, collagen, cell contact inhibition, and cytokine receptors transform normal myometrial cells to benign leiomyomas (p value ≤ 0.01). The 716 DEGs between UL vs ULMS were found to affect cell cycle, cell division related Rho GTPases and PI3K signaling pathways triggering uncontrolled growth and metastasis of tumor cells (p value ≤ 0.01). Integration of gene networking data, with additional parameters like estimation of mutation burden of tumors and cancer driver gene identification, has led to the finding of 4 hubs (JUN, VCAN, TOP2A, and COL1A1) and 8 bottleneck genes (PIK3R1, MYH11, KDR, ESR1, WT1, CCND1, EZH2, and CDKN2A), which showed a clear distinction in their distribution pattern among leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas. This study provides vital clues for molecular distinction of UL and ULMS which could further assist in identification of specific diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. <b>Abbreviations</b> UL: Uterine Leiomyomas; ULMS: Uterine Leiomyosarcoma; Myo: Myometrium; DEGs: Differential Expressed Genes; RMA: Robust Multiarray Average; DC: Degree of Centrality; BC: Betweenness of Centrality; CGC: Cancer Gene Census; FDR: False Discovery Rate; TCGA: Cancer Genome Atlas; BP: Biological Process; CC: Cellular Components; MF: Molecular Function; PPI: Protein–Protein Interaction

title: Effect of online instruction on volunteers who support people with complex communication needs in active recreation

description: This study was conducted to teach and evaluate the effectiveness of an online training called The CAPTURE & Share program. The program was taught using online instruction in an asynchronous manner with six volunteers who facilitate recreational participation for individuals with complex communication needs. The online training focused on teaching volunteers how to support opportunities for individuals to capture photos and videos from recreation and then share them across their social networks. The first aim of the study was to teach the volunteers about implementation and use of the 8-step CAPTURE & Share program while the second aim was to evaluate the programs’ overall effectiveness. Two multiple baselines designs across three participants each were used to evaluate the volunteers’ written responses to probes delivered during baseline, intervention, maintenance, and generalization phases. Additionally, social validation data were collected. Results indicated that volunteers were not only successful in learning the program, but were also highly satisfied with the online training methods. Implications for using online instruction are discussed for speech-language pathologists, caregivers, individuals with complex communication needs, and recreational professionals.

title: <i>In vitro Candida albicans</i> biofilm formation on different titanium surface topographies

description: To investigate if differences in titanium implant surface topography influence <i>Candida albicans</i> biofilm formation. Titanium discs were prepared and characterized using a profilometer: Group A (<i>R</i><sub>a</sub> 0.15 µm, smooth), Group B (<i>R</i><sub>a</sub> 0.64 µm, minimally rough) and Group C (<i>R</i><sub>a</sub> 1.3 µm, moderately rough). Contact angle and surface free energy (SFE) were determined for each group. Non-preconditioned titanium discs were incubated with <i>C. albicans</i> for 24 h. In additional experiments, the titanium discs were initially coated with human saliva, bovine serum albumin or phosphate-buffered saline for 2 h before incubation with <i>C. albicans</i> for 24 h. The amount of fungal biofilm formation was quantified using a colorimetric assay. <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm formation was significantly lower (<i>p</i> p C. albicans biofilm formation than the other two groups. Salivary coating resulted in greater adherence of <i>C. albicans</i> with increased surface roughness. The minimally rough titanium discs displayed lowest SFE compared to smooth and moderately rough surfaces and showed the least <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm formation. This study demonstrated that <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm formation increased in a SFE-dependent manner. These findings suggest that SFE might be a more explanatory factor for <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm formation on titanium surfaces than roughness. The presence of a pellicle coating may negate the impact of SFE on <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm formation on titanium surfaces.

title: Co-expressed functional module-related genes in ovarian cancer stem cells represent novel prognostic biomarkers in ovarian cancer

description: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies. Cancer stem cells (CSC) seem to play a crucial role in tumor metastasis, recurrence, and chemoresistance. Therefore, CSCs offer significant potential for developing therapeutic targets and to understand tumor recurrence and chemoresistance mechanisms. In the present study, our aim was the identification of the gene group in ovarian CSCs (O-CSCs) and the potential of the resultant gene group in ovarian cancer prognosis. Two different microarray data sets were analyzed by comparing gene expression levels between O-CSCs and cancer samples. The O-CSC co-expression network was reconstructed and its modules were identified. According to the analysis results, 74 mutual DEGs were identified. The O-CSC-specific co-expression network included 32 nodes and 95 edges (network density: 19%), while the co-expression network in cancer samples was reconstructed with 74 nodes and 1066 edges (network density: 39%). Understanding of the molecular mechanism and signatures of O-CSCs should provide valuable insight into chemotherapy resistance and recurrence of ovarian tumors. A highly connected 12 gene module in O-CSC samples of BAMB1, NFKB12, EZR, TNFAIP3, C1orf86, PMAIP1, GEM, KHDRBS3, FILIP1, FGFR2, TGFBR3 and PEG10, (network density: 67%) was identified. Prognostic performance of these genes was evaluated independently using six ovarian cancer datasets (n = 1933 patient samples) via survival analysis. These co-expressed genes were determined as prognostic targets in ovarian cancer. Through literature search validation, five genes (C1orf86, PMAIP1, FILIP1, NFKB12 and PEG10) suggested as novel molecular targets in ovarian cancer. The presented prognostic biomarkers here provide a resource for the understanding of tumor recurrence and chemoresistance and may facilitate critical research directions and development of new prognostic and therapeutic strategies for ovarian cancer.

title: Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) polymorphisms and unexplained infertility: A genetic association study

description: The prevalence of infertility is increasing and worrisome. About 10 to 30% of infertility is classified as idiopathic or unexplained infertility (UI).<i>TGF-β</i> is multifunctional and immunoregulatry cytokine which regulates both implantation and adhesion of trophoblasts to the extracellular matrix during pregnancy. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between two polymorphisms rs1800470 (C29T) and rs1800471 (G74C) of the <i>TGF-β1</i> gene in Iranian patients with unexplained infertility. A total of 250 UI patients and 484 healthy individuals with no history of infertility were included in the study. The amplification and sequencing of target DNA fragments were done using PCR and automated sequencing methods, respectively. The effects of these polymorphisms on both <i>TGF-β1</i> structure and function of mRNA and protein were analyzed using new in-silico tools. The frequency distribution of the alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes of both rs1800470 and rs1800471 polymorphisms had a statistically significant difference between subjects and controls. CC genotype of TGF-β1 rs1800470 (29C→T) increase the risk of UI in male UI patients. Moreover, C alleles of TGF-β1 rs1800471 was associated with increased risk of UI in female UI patients. Couples, subgroup analysis revealed a significant association between TGF-β1 polymorphisms (rs1800470, rs1800471) and the risk of UI in male, female, and all UI patients. The frequency of TG and CG haplotypes were statistically different in both UI and healthy subjects group (P TGF-β1 mRNA and resulted in the removal of one mRNA arm and creation of two new arms. Taken together, the results of the current study suggest that <i>TGF-β1</i> functional polymorphisms may play an important role in the susceptibility to UI in Iranian population. According to in silico analysis, polymorphisms in TGF-β1 can reduce mRNA half-life and, therefore, reduced <i>TGF-β1</i> expression.

title: Typical preschoolers’ perceptions of augmentative and alternative communication modes of a preschooler with autism spectrum disorder

description: Understanding typical preschoolers’ perceptions of communication modes could help guide augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention for preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study explored the perceptions of 16 typically developing preschoolers toward an (a) AAC application (app) on a tablet, (b) picture exchange using a binder with printed Picture Communication Symbols<sup>TM</sup>, and (c) prelinguistic communication used by a preschooler with ASD in a series of videos the preschoolers watched. Using a multi-method design, the study implemented both quantitative (rank ordering and preference selection) and qualitative (interview) methodologies. Quantitative results revealed the typical preschoolers had a clear overall preference for the AAC app, but variation in preference existed when selecting a communication mode to use in specific social scenarios. Qualitative data show the children more easily understood the child with ASD when he used the AAC app and associated tablets with fun, which may have accounted for positive perceptions of this AAC mode. The study is exploratory in nature and limited by its size and scope. However, it provides insights useful for clinicians’ understanding not just how typical preschoolers perceive various modes of communication, but also why they may perceive some more favorably than others, in order to tailor intervention accordingly.

title: Discrepancy in alloy composition of imported and non-imported porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns produced by Norwegian dental laboratories

description: Even though the use of full ceramic crowns have become a well-established practice in dental clinics compare to the last decade, the use of imported casted porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFMs) crowns is still prevalent. The use of imported PFMs is often economically driven; however, when dentists order PFMs, they do not have capabilities to examine its true alloy content. Therefore, we raise the questions whether cheaper imported PFMs have more discrepancies in alloy content compared to domestically produced PFMs? This study included 62 porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns: 41 produced in Norway and 21 imported. Their alloy-composition was determined non-destructively by EDX and SEM. Imported PFMs demonstrated larger deviations compared with non-imported PFMs. Significant deviation was found in key metallic elements in the different alloys (W, In, Pd, Ag). The detected deviations in key element such as Wolfram and Indium could influence the PFMs service time. These finding may be of international concern
