Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.4K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Ribosomes01:27

Ribosomes

81.5K
Ribosomes translate genetic information encoded by messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes. Cells that synthesize large quantities of protein—such as secretory cells in the human pancreas—can contain millions of ribosomes.
Ribosome Structure and Assembly
Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In eukaryotes, rRNA is transcribed from genes in the nucleolus—a part of the nucleus that specializes in ribosome...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis02:53

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

15.4K
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology and Imaging
  • Orthopedics
  • Spinal Deformity Analysis

Background:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) diagnosis and management rely on accurate assessment methods.
  • The double rib contour sign (DRCS) and rib index (RI) have emerged as tools for evaluating rib cage deformities associated with IS.
  • Understanding the historical development and validation of these signs is crucial for their effective application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive analysis of the double rib contour sign (DRCS) and rib index (RI).
  • To explore the historical context, methodology, reliability, and clinical applications of the RI in idiopathic scoliosis.
  • To evaluate the RI's utility in screening, documentation, and treatment assessment for spinal deformities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and historical publications concerning the DRCS and RI.
  • Analysis of the quantification methods for the DRCS and RI.
  • Examination of reliability studies and factors influencing RI measurements, including radiation source distance.

Main Results:

  • The DRCS and RI provide a quantifiable method for assessing rib cage asymmetry in idiopathic scoliosis.
  • The RI demonstrates reliability and its measurements are minimally affected by radiation source distance.
  • The RI has diverse applications in documenting deformity, assessing physiotherapy, brace treatment, and pre/post-operative evaluations.

Conclusions:

  • The DRCS and RI are valuable, reliable tools for the assessment and management of idiopathic scoliosis.
  • The RI's established references in spinal textbooks and citation impact indicate its significance in the field.
  • The RI holds potential for refining scoliosis screening policies and improving patient care through objective deformity assessment.
