Synthesis and characterization of self-curing hydrophilic bone cements for protein delivery.
New formulations of acrylic bone cements for bone defect reparation, based on self-hardening methyl methacrylate (MMA)/methacrylic acid (MAA), with a high capacity for protein delivery, have been developed. The self-curing formulations were prepared by partial substitution of solid phase PMMA microparticles by newly ob...

Compound heterozygous PLEC mutations in a patient of consanguineous parentage with epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy and diffuse alopecia.
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy (EBS-MD; OMIM 226670) is an autosomal recessive form of EBS, characterized by skin blistering at birth and delayed onset of muscle dystrophy. Mutations in PLEC, the gene encoding plectin, have been identified to be causal for EBS-MD. We report a case of EBS-MD with ...

Preterm delivery among first-time Mexico-born mothers: a binational population-based comparison of deliveries in California and Mexico.
While studies have attributed the favourable birth outcomes of Mexico-born mothers in the USA to a 'healthy immigrant effect' that confers protection to immigrants, a comparison of immigrants with the source population in Mexico has been lacking. We compared preterm delivery (PTD) rates of Mexico-born immigrants who de...
