50% and 90.81% on the collected mobile LiDAR data and obtains an average accuracy of 75.4% on an open benchmark, which outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of completeness and correctness.There still involve lots of challenges when applying machine learning algorithms in unknown environments, especially those with limited training…[Read more]

Thalassemia is the most common hereditary blood disorder across the world. This study aimed to identify some mandibular features of thalassaemic patients and compare them with unaffected counterparts.

This retrospective case-control study was carried out on lateral cephalograms of 60 subjects (26 males, 34 females) with class II…[Read more]

INTRODUCTION The benefit of reducing the time of antibiotic initiation in the emergency department (ED) for neutropenic patients is controversial and the research on the impact of antibiotic adherence to international guidelines in the ED is scarce. We aimed to investigate the effect of antibiotic timing and appropriateness on outcomes in patients…[Read more]

2%). Women in both groups responded well to the leaflet, with significant improvements in intention to receive screening. However, 65%-67% were not swayed.

HPV-vaccinated women were more knowledgeable about cervical cancer and had a greater intention to receive screening. Our educational leaflet was moderately effective in both groups for…[Read more]

These reached similar values to those of control mice, which were fed a standard diet. These data suggest that supplementation with 2-OHOA and with EPA and DHA could be an effective nutritional intervention to restore an appropriate redox state in DIO mice.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury is a serious problem caused by vascular trauma,…[Read more]

Ingestion of foreign bodies remains a frequent reason for presentation to paediatric emergency departments worldwide. Among the variety of objects ingested, button batteries are particularly harmful owing to their electrochemical properties, which can cause extensive injuries if not diagnosed and treated rapidly. International trends show an…[Read more]

With the rapid global spread of SARS-CoV-2, we have become acutely aware of the inadequacies of our ability to respond to viral epidemics. Although disrupting the viral life cycle is critical for limiting viral spread and disease, it has proven challenging to develop targeted and selective therapeutics. Synthetic lethality offers a promising but…[Read more]

MitoTEMPO, a mitochondrial antioxidant, has protective effects on liver-related diseases. However, the role of MitoTEMPO on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its possible mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of MitoTEMPO on NAFLD using high fat diet- (HFD-) induced obese mice as animal models. MitoTEMPO was…[Read more]
