This method allows us to accurately estimate the concentration of these resuspended carbon nanotubes, after removing bundles and micrometric aggregates, which can be used as a calibration standard, for dosage-dependent studies in biological systems. This method can also be extended to any other nanomaterial to properly quantify the actual…[Read more]

1-17.2% heterozygosity with normal red blood cell (RBC) parameters. The α haplotype [+ – S + – + -] [S signifies the inter ζ hypervariable region (HVR)] was associated with the Thai Hb Shenyang. The genotype-phenotype relationship indicates Hb Shenyang is likely a non pathological Hb variant that has neither dramatic clinical symptoms nor h…[Read more]

The adverse effects of TI exposure on pregnant women are still unclear, especially regarding the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) Objective We explored the association between maternal urinary Tl burden and the risk of GDM.

A subsample of 1789 pregnant women were enrolled who provided spot urine samples before the diagnostic…[Read more]

Prior research shows that highly religious consumers are more stable through times of uncertainty, in part due to religious support networks. However, several situations (e.g., pandemics, epidemics, natural disasters, mass shootings) represent unique changes where routine large gatherings are restricted due to uncertainty. In such situations,…[Read more]

The open-source integrated-hardware solution and benchmark data that we provide should help with research and clinical testing of knee-ankle prostheses in real-world environments.Bone-marrow endothelial cells in the haematopoietic stem-cell niche form a network of blood vessels that regulates blood-cell traffic as well as the maintenance and…[Read more]

A latent class growth mixture model yielded three distinct developmental trajectory classes of psychological dysregulation (a) a Moderate-Stable group, a modal class that demonstrated stable and average regulative tendencies throughout adolescence, (b) a Low-Decreasing group, which demonstrated greater self-regulation throughout childhood, and a…[Read more]
