Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. However, the management of chronic kidney disease, particularly diabetes, requires vast improvements. Recently, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, originally developed for the treatment of diabetes, have been shown to protect against kidney…[Read more]

Striatin-interacting protein 1 (Strip1) is a core component of the striatin interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complex, which is involved in embryogenesis and development, circadian rhythms, type 2 diabetes, and cancer progression. However, the expression and role of Strip1 in the mammalian cochlea remains unclear. Here we studied the…[Read more]

Our study observed the seasonal dynamics of filamentous cyanobacteria in tropical urban reservoirs and highlighted the association between temperature and filamentous cyanobacteria. our data and analysis provided an evidence that increased temperature could increase the likelihood of frequency and intensity of filamentous cyanobacteria blooms. In…[Read more]

RPS mandates are similarly embedded in markets and networks in both cases with similar effects on RE production, but Minnesota’s more traditional approach gives regulators greater authority over the type and location of RE production compared to Connecticut’s more market-driven approach. Our analysis suggests that policy analysts should pay closer…[Read more]

Other studies have noted that EMS agencies are tasked with transporting the “sickest of the sick.” We found that PPE is particularly essential where the frequency of encounters between potentially-or actually-infected patients is high, because from Los Angeles County to rural Texas, without sufficient…[Read more]

No studies were found investigating the effects of air filters on the incidence of respiratory infections. Two studies investigated bacterial capture within filters and bacterial load in indoor air. One reported higher numbers of viable bacteria in the HEPA filter than in floor dust samples. The other reported HEPA filtration combined with…[Read more]

high level of preoperative NLR was an independent predictor for CLNM in PTC patients with T2DM. And the verified optimal cutoff value of NLR in this study was 2.9204. Applying this nomogram will help stratify high-risk CLNM patients, consequently enabling these patients to be treated with appropriate measures. What is more, we hope to find more…[Read more]

The Geriatrician clinicians of the Texas Elder Abuse and Mistreatment Institute – Forensic Assessment Center Network (TEAM-FACN) in Houston, have many years of experience providing capacity assessment services for Adult Protective Services (APS) and Texas courts.
