There is poor correlation between p-cresyl sulfate uptake and each of the variables considered, but the number of aromatic carbons of the MOF linker was a better predictor of uptake than BET surface area (R2 = 0.7034 and 0.1430, respectively), and pore window aperture was a better predictor of uptake than the pore cage diameter (R2 = 0.4780 and…[Read more]

Emerging advancements in anticancer drug discovery research are leaning towards the plant-based bioactive fractions, which is a cocktail of naturally abundant two or more substances with unique proportions, exhibiting greater potential to combat cancers than the individual molecules. Thus, isolation and characterization of anti-cancer activity…[Read more]

Overall, all mixtures appeared to follow the additivity concept, even though quantitative analysis was limited for some endpoints due to the semi-quantitative nature of the data, raising no specific concern for the risk assessment of the examined pesticides. BACKGROUND The changing evaluation of provider metrics and payments in total hip…[Read more]

3; 95% CI 1.1-1.7; and ORStage III/IV (OR) = 1.6; 95% CI 1.1-2.2) compared to non-Sámi. The Sámi had higher prevalence of periodontal pocket depth (PD) ≥ 4 mm (t = 1.77; p  less then   0.001) and PD ≥ 6 mm (t = 1.08; p = 0.038) than the non-Sámi. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of periodontitis was high in communities in the core area of Sámi s…[Read more]

4%, 7.5%, 34.3%, and 62.5%) increased gradually with statistically significant values among difficulty levels (P ˂ 0.001). Major postoperative complications occurred in 21 (14.8%) patients and its rates (4.8%, 5.6%, 28.1%, 43.7%; P ˂ 0.001) showed the same trend as for intraoperative complications. Then, the mean risk curves of both c…[Read more]

In addition, extraoral neural neoplasms were evident in four patients, including three with NF2. Typical microscopic findings included multiple well-circumscribed tumor nodules, each surrounded by a perineurium-derived capsule with immunoreactivity for epithelial membrane antigen. The nodules contained characteristically bland and diffusely…[Read more]

KGaA, Weinheim.AIM The aim of this paper is to analyze hospital admission and associated factors following presentation to healthcare facilities for low back pain (LBP) in Ethiopia. METHODS A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted between June and November 2018 in South-west Shewa zone of Oromia…[Read more]

Acute stroke care demands real-time, specialist-led treatment decisions, including thrombolysis and referral for mechanical thrombectomy. Pathways designed to deliver time-critical interventions for stroke patients are under intense pressure due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. In response to this unprecedented burden on acute care services,…[Read more]

Objective The SAM- and SH3-domain containing 1 gene (SASH1) has been considered as a tumor suppressor in some cancers. Nevertheless, the effect of SASH1 on the proliferation and invasion of human skin squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) remains poorly understood. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to observe the potential role of SASH1 in…[Read more]
