Such parenchymal injuries include hypoxic-ischaemic damage, clefts, contusion and focal haemorrhage. We offer our perspectives on current thinking on these entities and put them in the context of the immensely important question – how do we recognise abusive head trauma?

Tubercular meningitis (TBM) has the propensity to cause secondary…[Read more]

attenuated, such as disorders of consciousness or major depression.Virulence factor, sortase A (SrtA), has crucial roles in the pathogenesis of Gram-positive superbugs. SrtA is a bacterial cell membrane enzyme that anchors crucial virulence factors to the cell wall surface of Gram-positive bacteria. SrtA is not necessary for bacterial growth and…[Read more]

Conclusion Among the participant population sampled, the risks and benefits of general and professional social media were discussed and, in some cases, these overlapped. The findings suggest that dentists are aware of the risks and benefits and employ techniques to balance risk. There were a range of social media user types that varied by…[Read more]

The magnitude of cognitive decline was significantly larger in MDD/PTSD relative to HC on attention only (p = .012, d = 0.56). Ketamine did not affect working memory (WM) performance. Cognitive function (baseline, change from baseline to post-ketamine) was not associated with antidepressant response to ketamine. Results suggest that while ketamin…[Read more]

or replacement procedures. Compared to standard electrocautery, low-temperature electrocautery significantly reduces adverse effects from these procedures.The vein of Marshall (VOM) contains innervation, myocardial connections, and arrhythmogenic foci that make it an attractive target in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Additionally,…[Read more]

Water pollution by excessive amounts of nitrate (NO3-) has become a global issue. Technologies to clean up nitrate-contaminated water bodies include phytoremediation. In this context, this research aimed to evaluate four tree species (Salix alba L., Populus alba L., Corylus avellana L. and Sambucus nigra L.) to remediate nitrate-contaminated…[Read more]

622, 0.563; specificity 61%, 59%; sensitivity 69%, 60%; cut-off point 87.95, 92.95 cm, respectively], while WHtR had the highest discriminatory power for abnormal BP (AUC = 0.585; specificity 60%; sensitivity 65%; cut-off point 0.575) and WHR tended to be the best predictor of CVDs (AUC = 0.527; specificity 58%; sensitivity 64%; cut-off point…[Read more]

Tumors differ from normal tissues in several meaningful ways including cellular size, morphology, and protein expression, which will accordingly change the refractive index and the size/morphology of cells. There are also important differences in tissue organization and unique tissue specific cell densities. Instead of time-consuming and…[Read more]
