Abstract

Anthocyanin accumulation is coordinated in plants by a number of conserved transcription factors. In apple (Malus × domestica), an R2R3 MYB transcription factor has been shown to control fruit flesh and foliage anthocyanin pigmentation (MYB10) and fruit skin color (MYB1). However, the pattern of expression and allelic variation at these loci does not explain all anthocyanin-related apple phenotypes. One such example is an open-pollinated seedling of cv Sangrado that has green foliage and develops red flesh in the fruit cortex late in maturity. We used methods that combine plant breeding, molecular biology, and genomics to identify duplicated MYB transcription factors that could control this phenotype. We then demonstrated that the red-flesh cortex phenotype is associated with enhanced expression of MYB110a, a paralog of MYB10. Functional characterization of MYB110a showed that it was able to up-regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The chromosomal location of MYB110a is consistent with a whole-genome duplication event that occurred during the evolution of apple within the Maloideae family. Both MYB10 and MYB110a have conserved function in some cultivars, but they differ in their expression pattern and response to fruit maturity.

25. [Commentary on] Impairment and function: the difficulty with definition and measurement of outcome in clinical practice.

Author

Bailey, Toni, Doherty, Patrick, Rouse, Simon, Swank, Chad, and Woolcomb, Rachel

Abstract

Background: The term function is used in rehabilitation both as an expression of patient status (e.g. low functional capacity) and also as a term to capture the extent of change following rehabilitation interventions (e.g. improved walking efficiency); however there is a lack of consensus as to the possible terms used to encompass the term function. There is uncertainty about the primary focus of interventions within rehabilitation in the sense that some clinicians work on reducing impairment whereas others believe they are working at a functional level. This suggests that the terms are used interchangeably in clinical practice and that an assumed link exists between altering the impairment and improving function. Aim: This analysis paper investigates the distinctiveness and commonality between function and impairment in rehabilitation within a conceptual framework and encourages clinicians to discuss and debate the potential for a universally recognised definition of function. Conclusion: Function and impairment are not always considered as being distinct, resulting in attributing observed changes in impairment to a change in functional status without the evidence to support the process.

Abstract

The article focuses on research related to the issue of hopping/not hopping for amputees undergoing rehabilitation. It is mentioned that some patients want to hop after amputation because of difficulties associated with wheelchair use. One researcher says that hopping should be avoided because it has an adverse impact on the remaining joints. Another researcher says that walking with crutches puts tremendous stress on shoulders and arms.

Abstract

Introduction: Bare footprints found at a crime scene can be used as forensic evidence to link a person to the incident using comparison methods. Identification relies upon methods of evaluation including measurement; however the science underpinning measurement in this field has not been fully explored. Method: A critical review of the literature revealed various measurement approaches and also demonstrated little or no measurement rigour in terms of reliability and validity. Therefore a novel pragmatic method for collecting and measuring two-dimensional bare foot impressions was developed by the researcher to provide the necessary tool for use in this field. Evaluation involved three static and three dynamic footprints collected from thirty female and thirty one male volunteers using an inkless paper system. The footprints were digitised and widths, lengths and angles constructed and automatically measured using freely vailable measurement software. Measurement rigour was pursued using modern validity and intra-/inter-rater reliability approaches followed by an evaluation of the tool by experts in the field. These explorations are presented within the thesis as separate investigations. Results: Statistically significant differences occurred between paired static and dynamic linear measurements (df 60) with t values ranging from 3.08 to 23.17, P < 0.01. The highest correlations with stature were shown to be the linear measurement from the heel to fifth toe print in the dynamic footprints (r = 0.858, P < 0.01). The reliability analysis found high intra-rater agreement using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.99 with a 95% standard error of measurement 0.84 mm, 95% limits of agreement (LOA) -0.91 to 0.65. Conclusion: The research establishes a valid and reliable two-dimensional measurement approach, useful for footprint identification purposes and also as a baseline method for further research in this field.
