It was able to properly distinguish 31 procedures where the patient who underwent stenting had follow-up scheduled before surgery. More importantly, it alerted our schedulers to 18 procedures for which no return visit had been scheduled. Furthermore, our software was able to register follow-up attendance, correctly identifying 10 procedures where…[Read more]

ention paradigm markedly increased expression of phosphorylated PI3K, AKT and GSK-3, but reduced phosphorylated β-catenin. Moreover, the axon guidance proteins expression level was significant higher in EE group. In parallel to these findings, EE significantly enhanced recovery of lost spatial learning memory function in MCAO rats without…[Read more]

In conclusion, eating an earlier evening meal resulted in favourable changes in weight loss and plasma cardiometabolic risk markers during a weight loss programme.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a major challenge. Various strategies have been tried to prevent or control HAIs. Positive deviance, a strategy that has been used in…[Read more]

The personalized reference intervals of the study participants were different from one another and, as expected, located within the common reference interval. However, in general they made up only a small proportion of the population-based reference interval.

Our study shows that, if using results from patients in steady state, only a few…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the tissue reaction stimulated by BaSO4 – and Bi2 O3 -containing White MTA Angelus, in comparison with Bi2 O3 -containing white Portland cement, and white ProRoot MTA. Thirty-six adult male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), weighing between 250 and 300 g, were distributed into three groups (n = 12) in a…[Read more]

Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a multifactorial oral inflammatory disease characterized by progressive destruction of bone and ultimate tooth loss. The alarming rise in the prevalence of periodontitis has led to the development of innovative diagnostic techniques. Several quantifiable biomarkers in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva of…[Read more]

The addition of bone marrow stem cell therapy to the use of external fixation may have contributed to the healing observed radiographically 24 days after administration; therefore, bone marrow stem cell therapy, in addition to traditional surgical fracture reduction and stabilization, may be a promising therapeutic approach for avian cases with…[Read more]

Background An increasing number of patients with a peripheral arterial occlusive disease were put on statins during the past years. This study assessed whether statin therapy was effective and safe for these new users. Methods and Results Using health insurance claims data from Germany’s second-largest insurance fund, BARMER, we identified…[Read more]

The colon showed damage in the simple prismatic tissue and decreased crypt depth, and changes in microbiota and a decrease in the apparent fecal digestibility of crude protein were determined. Our results show that the adverse effects provoked by TBLF were partially reversed after 6 weeks of recovery post-treatment, suggesting that increasing the…[Read more]

Most importantly, this macrocyclic peptide also showed an improved cellular inhibition of the K48-Ub2 recognition by deubiquitinating enzymes and the 26S proteasome, resulting in the promotion of apoptosis in cancer cells. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.OBJECTIVE The identification of sensitive biomarkers is essential to…[Read more]
