Anti-MDA5 Antibody-Positive Dermatomyositis Presenting with Cellulitis-Like Erythema on the Mandible as an Initial Symptom

Panniculitis is an uncommon skin eruption observed in patients with dermatomyositis Alpha Lipoic Acid (DM)/clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM), especially in anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody-positive DM.We present here a 51-year-old Japanese woman with an anti-MDA5 antibody-positive DM who initially had cellu

Influence of the Sludge Retention Time on Membrane Fouling in an Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) Treating Lipid-Rich Dairy Wastewater

This study evaluated the effects of sludge retention time (SRT) on the membrane filtration performance of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) fed lipid-rich synthetic dairy wastewater.The membrane filtration performance was Alpha Lipoic Acid evaluated in two AnMBR systems operated at two different SRTs, i.e., 20 and 40 days.For the AnMBR opera

Rapid eye movements during sleep in mice: High trait-like stability qualifies rapid eye movement density for characterization of phenotypic variation in sleep patterns of rodents

Abstract Background In humans, rapid eye movements (REM) density during REM sleep plays a prominent role in psychiatric diseases.Especially in depression, an increased REM density is a vulnerability marker for depression.In clinical practice and research measurement of REM density is highly standardized.In basic animal research, almost no tools are
