At fixation distances more posterior to the limbus, mean ΔSEQ was more hyperopic at 3 months, 1-year, and the last follow-up (P = 0.02, P = 0.01, and P = 0.006, respectively).

Refractive outcomes for sutureless intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens with pars plana vitrectomy were favorable and showed stability postoperatively. These…[Read more]

Honey bee is an economically important insect for honey production and pollination. Frequent exposure to toxic pesticides is one of the major risk factors causing the pollinator population decline. However, age effects of honey bees on pesticide susceptibility have been largely ignored and many researchers use bees of unknown age for assessing the…[Read more]

Conservation of threatened animals is frequently limited by lack of knowledge about their ecological preferences, and often artificial feeding is one of the few chances to save endangered species. We investigated the possibility to artificially feed two endangered flat bark beetles dependent on dead wood for their diet-namely, Cucujus cinnaberinus…[Read more]

338; 95% CI 1.045-10.66/HR 3.191; 95% CI 1.543-6.597). PAGE-B-DNA, which is the combined PAGE-B and HBV DNA status, was valuable for a more refined stratification of PAGE-B.Fumarate hydratase (FH) is an enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, biallelic loss-of-function mutations of which are associated with hereditary leiomyomatosis and…[Read more]

7%). PID patients are at high risk of developing fungal infections.This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of preparing a hydrogel based on (OMePhSe)2-loaded poly(Ɛ-caprolactone) nanocapsules using carrageenan gum as a gel-forming agent. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory action of hydrogel was assessed in an animal model of skin lesion…[Read more]

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the United States and is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance (IR). Weight loss is the best treatment for NAFLD. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a promising endoscopic procedure for treatment of obesity. Our aim is to evaluate…[Read more]

Insomnia affects up to one in four adolescents and has been shown to have a negative impact on their mental and physical health. This study aimed to investigate the association between insomnia, academic performance, self-reported health, physical activity, school start time, and substance use among adolescents.

We extracted and purified three polysaccharides from Echinacea purpurea using pectinase-assisted extraction to obtain crude preparations and optimized the method using an orthogonal analysis. We obtained three polysaccharide fractions (EPPS-1, -2 and -3) using DEAE ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The homogeneity of the fractions…[Read more]

A novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged from China in late 2019 and rapidly spread across the globe, infecting millions of people and generating societal disruption on a level not seen since the 1918 influenza pandemic. A safe and effective vaccine is desperately needed to prevent the continued spread of SARS-CoV-2; yet, rational vaccine design…[Read more]

We developed a STAT3 silencing siRNA to both tumor cells and M2 macrophages. The dual-targeting system prepared by electronic self-assembly was composed of folic acid-conjugated carboxymethyl chitosan for targeting and cationic chitosan derivatives for siRNA package. The effects of siRNA delivery was investigated in M2 macrophages and Lewis lung…[Read more]

This corrects the article DOI 10.1103/PhysRevE.98.013302.We explore the intriguing effects of the underlying star topological structure in the framework of Schelling’s segregation model with blocks. The significant consequences exerted by the star topology are both theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated with and without introducing a…[Read more]

Furthermore, possible mode of action, efficacy and current stage of clinical trials of various drug combinations against COVID-19 disease has also been discussed in detail. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.Heterophragma adenophyllum (HA) is an important medicinal plant which is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of muscular tension…[Read more]

The group with access scored higher than those without access (70% versus 50%, P=0.0005) as well as those with the old version of the app in the 2015 study (70% versus 55%, P=0.0250). App access eliminated a significant difference in exam scores between residents and attendings that was present without the app.

A mobile app with offline…[Read more]
