Opportunistic muscle measurements on staging chest CT for extremity and truncal soft tissue sarcoma are associated with survival Open
Background and Objectives Computed tomography (CT) measurements of sarcopenia have been proposed as biomarkers associated with outcomes in various cancers and have typically been evaluated at the L3 vertebral level. However, staging imagin…

Retinal Defocus and Form-Deprivation Exposure Duration Affects RPE BMP Gene Expression Open
In the context of ocular development and eye growth regulation, retinal defocus and/or image contrast appear key variables although the nature of the signal(s) relayed from the retina to the sclera remains poorly understood. Nonetheless, u…

Differential gene expression of BMP2 and BMP receptors in chick retina & choroid induced by imposed optical defocus Open
Recent studies have demonstrated the defocus sign-dependent, bidirectional gene expression regulation of bone morphogenetic proteins, BMP2, 4 and 7 in chick RPE. In this study, we examined the effects of imposed positive (+10 D) and negati…
