Stroke is a serious cerebrovascular disease and is one of the world’s leading causes of disability. Maintaining good oral health is a challenge among those hospitalised after stroke. A multidisciplinary approach to oral care involving non-dental professionals can be beneficial in improving oral health outcomes for patients. The aim of this study…[Read more]

Residual tetracycline (TC) in animal food caused by abuse of antibiotics leads to many chronic diseases in the human body. The development of a simple and on-site visualization method for TC detection is need of the hour. Herein, a fluorescent europium-based metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) sensor for visual and rapid detection of TC was…[Read more]

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle and balance training on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength (RMS), functional capacity, and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Thirty children with hemiplegic CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System I-II) included in this study. The…[Read more]

To measure the feasibility, reach, and potential impact of a virtual family-centered rounds (FCR) intervention in the neonatal intensive care unit.

We conducted a randomized controlled pilot trial with a 21 intervention-to-control arm allocation ratio. Caregivers of intervention arm neonates were invited to participate in virtual FCR plus…[Read more]

Despite conservation of the diploid number, a huge diversity in karyotype formulae is found in the Ancistrini tribe (Loricariidae, Hypostominae). However, the lack of cytogenetic data for many groups impairs a comprehensive understanding of the chromosomal relationships and the impact of chromosomal changes on their evolutionary history. Here, we…[Read more]

Other studies are needed to confirm our results.

Our data furtherly support peptide receptor radionuclide therapy as a safe and effective treatment of patients affected by pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms allowing disease control in about 71% of patients without showing significant toxicity. Other studies are needed to confirm our…[Read more]

The Croatian version of the three DASS-21 subscales and two MSIS-29 subscales had excellent internal consistencies (Cronbach’s alpha coefficients 0.88-0.93) and good convergent validity, as expressed by inter-correlations between DASS-21 and MSIS-29 subscales. PI3K inhibitor Hierarchical regression analysis using MSIS-29 subscales as criterion…[Read more]

Epigenetic modifications play an essential role in a large variety of multifactorial diseases. This review will focus on the evidence that epigenetic mechanisms play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke.

To perform a systematic review of the literature focused to evaluate in vitro function of prefabricated fiber posts with…[Read more]
