Abstract Accurate genomic profiling for adult height is of high practical relevance in forensics genetics. Adult height is a classical reference trait in the field of human complex trait genetics characterized by highly polygenic nature and relatively high heritability. A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropocentric Traits (GIANT) consortium has identified 697 DNA variants associated with adult height in Europeans; however, whether...

Abstract Several molecular modifications accumulate in the human organism with increasing age. Some of these "molecular clocks" in DNA and in proteins open up promising approaches for the development of methods for forensic age estimation. A natural limitation of these methods arises from the fact that the chronological age is determined only indirectly by analyzing defined molecular changes that occur during aging. These changes are not linked exclusively to the expired life span...

AbstractBackgroundPediatric emergency telemedicine consultations have been shown to provide support to community emergency departments treating critically ill pediatric patients. However, despite the recognized value of telemedicine, adoption has been slow. To determine why clinicians frequently do not use telemedicine when it is available for pediatric patients, as well as to learn how to improve telemedicine programs, we conducted a qualitative study using stakeholder interviews.MethodsWe...

Abstract Rice cultivation is practiced in various agro-climatic zones ranging from tropical to temperate. Anthesis is a critical stage for deciding productivity which is controlled by numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. Elevated temperature is one of the key abiotic stresses that adversely modulate the pollen formation and structure, i.e., infertility, results in productivity decline. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of elevated temperature on morphological...
