ion making. We recommend that policy makers should promote mass media campaigns scheduled on regular intervals in order to inform the target audience about safe abortions in Ghana. This could go a long way to ensure that cases of unsafe abortions are reduced to the starkest minimum.Zymomonas mobilis, as an ethanologenic microorganism with many…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Early screening of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains a major challenge. Our aim was to evaluate the value of urinary orosomucoid 1 protein (UORM1) in early renal impairment screening in type-2 diabetes patients. METHODS The concentration of UORM1, the UORM1-to-creatinine ratio (UORM1CR), the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio…[Read more]

t may provide a protective effect against TIC and warrants further investigation. The low sensitivity and positive predictive value demonstrated that the CRS has minimal utility as a screening tool for prediction of patients at high risk for TIC. selleck products Therefore, closer surveillance of patients receiving TRA is warranted for early…[Read more]

There is a growing interest in implementing intersectoral approaches to address social determinants especially within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) era. However, there is limited research that uses policy analysis approaches to understand the barriers to adoption and implementation of intersectoral approaches. In this paper we apply a…[Read more]

Students ranked “making a broader impact on health care” and “pursuing leadership in clinical practice” highest among reasons to pursue an MD/MBA. Students reported high rates of acquiring MBA-oriented skills.

MD/MBA students in this study focused on pursuing clinical careers. Students appear satisfied with their education, reporting high…[Read more]

Sodium and magnesium batteries with intercalation electrodes are currently alternatives of great interest to lithium in stationary applications, such as distribution networks or renewable energies. Hydrated laminar oxides such as birnessites are an attractive cathode material for these batteries. Sodium and potassium birnessite samples have been…[Read more]

Individually, supramaximal concentrations of sarpogrelate and SB224289, a selective 5-HT1B receptor antagonist, only partially inhibited the 5-HT-induced vasoconstriction. However, simultaneous pretreatment with both these antagonists almost completely inhibited the 5-HT-induced vasoconstriction. The inhibitory effect of M-1 pretreatment mimicked…[Read more]

These changes were associated with a marked rise in oxidative markers and decline in the activities of testicular enzymatic antioxidants, as well as oxidative DNA damage, inflammatory response, testicular DNA fragmentation, and caspase-dependent apoptosis (p less then 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE In conclusion, chronic codeine use resulted in testicular…[Read more]

Effective integration between the electronic components with garments, human skin, and living organisms is illustrated, presenting multifunctional platforms with self-powered potential for human-robot interactions and biomedicine. Lastly, the relationships between robotic/wearable fibers/fabrics and the external stimuli, together with the…[Read more]
