The different cellular responses to pre-crosslinked and post-crosslinked films highlight the importance of having fully exposed, non-covalently bound biochemical motifs (pre-crosslinked films) directing certain cellular responses. These results also suggest that high concentrations of nanoscale IKVAV motifs can inhibit fibroblast attachment to…[Read more]

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is gaining considerable traction as a therapeutic approach to influence the course of a plethora of chronic conditions, ranging from metabolic syndrome and malignancies to auto-immune and neurological diseases, and helped to establish the contribution of the gut microbiome to these conditions. Although FMT…[Read more]

Ultimately, success in garnering and maintaining institutional support necessitates moving from the theoretical to the practical, while continually framing discussion for a nonclinical/administrative audience. While the process can be time-consuming, ultimately it is worth the effort, enhancing the care experience for both patients and…[Read more]

Because of the interplay between mitochondrial respiration and cellular metabolism, the simultaneous monitoring of both cellular processes provides important insights for the understanding of biological processes. NMR flow systems provide a unique window into the metabolome of cultured cells. Simplified bioreactor construction based on…[Read more]

. Logistic hindrances were also identified as the most common cause of treatment delay among Filipino patients, suggesting that efforts should be focused into assistance programs that will mitigate these barriers to ensure continuity of cancer care services during the pandemic.

There was no difference in Covid-19 infection between those who…[Read more]

34, 95% CI 0.12-0.96). Use of “chief” is extremely common among departments listing divisional leadership, at 82.7% (67/81). Alternative terms used included “chair,” “head,” “chairperson,” and “director.” Among departments, the proportion of women in leadership roles is low, representing 19.7% (22/122) of chairs and 31.1% (272/874) of other…[Read more]

Background Iran will face the “aging Tsunami” phenomenon by the 2040s. Therefore, paying attention to the elderly’s driving to maintain and promote their independence and quality of life on the one hand and paying attention to the dangers of driving by the elderly for road safety will be important. The purpose of this research was to determine the…[Read more]

Uterine atony is a serious obstetrical complication since it is the leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the 5 major causes of postpartum mortality; therefore, it requires immediate medical intervention, independent of whether delivery occurs normally or with a cesarean section. While in the past years most…[Read more]

35; 95% CI 3.36-13.95) exhibited significantly higher relative risk of any cancer in siblings and mothers when compared to non-Latino White subjects (SIR = 3.02; 95% CI 2.12-4.16). For hematologic cancers, higher familial risk was evident for Asian/Pacific Islanders (SIR = 7.56; 95% CI 3.26-14.90) compared to non-Latino whites (SIR = 2.69; 95% CI…[Read more]

0% using only 40 mM H2O2 within 50 min at 60 °C. Further adding 40 mM of H2O2, the chemical oxygen demand removal reached 75.1% after 100 min. M2 showed excellent stability and could be reused at least three times without any obvious deterioration in catalytic activity. M2 fitted well with the Freundlich isotherms and the first-order rate…[Read more]

Though the F-GFA and G-GFA showcased higher water absorption ratio than the natural sand due to the presence of unreacted fly ash and GGBS particles, the complete replacement of fine aggregate with geopolymerized sand initiated the adequate compressive strength attainment up to 90% of natural sand, by reacting with the lime expelled out of the…[Read more]

This failure is thought to be at least partly due to the downregulation by α-synuclein of Ret, the common co-receptor of glial cell line-derived neurorophic factor and neurturin. Growth/differentiation factor 5 is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family of neurotrophic factors, that signals through the Ret-independent canonical Smad…[Read more]
