To accelerate the conversion to more sustainable lubricants, there is a need for an improved understanding of the adsorption at the solid/liquid interface. As a first step, the density functional theory computed adsorption energies can be used to screen the ability of additives to cover a surface. Analogously to what has been found in catalysis…[Read more]

Homeostatic matching of pre- and postsynaptic function has been observed in many species and neural structures, but whether transcriptional changes contribute to this form of trans-synaptic coordination remains unknown. To identify genes whose expression is altered in presynaptic neurons as a result of perturbing postsynaptic excitability, we…[Read more]

We found statistically significant difference to the answers on Q1-Q3, Q5, Q7, and Q8. The effect of offspring on the answers on the AUDIT was analyzed and a statistically significant difference was noted in the answers to the Q1-Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8, and in alcohol use risk groups.

Alcohol use among women is commonly and severely overlooked.…[Read more]

[Figure see text].[Figure see text].Facebook is often cited in health-related research as a practical option to recruit participants into research studies, but issues with recruiting verifiable and qualified participants and unpredictable costs exist. Zongertinib nmr The purpose of this paper is to describe a social network theory-guided, no-cost,…[Read more]

MGMT (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) is primarily responsible for limiting the activity of some widely used chemotherapeutic agents, including temozolomide (TMZ) and carmustine (BCNU). Sitagliptin in vivo The gene encoding this protein is epigenetically regulated, and assessment of methylation at its promoter region is used to predict…[Read more]

Immigrant women are a vulnerable group within Norwegian prenatal care and have an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this exploratory literature review was to compile an overview of the available knowledge on the prenatal health of immigrant women in Norway.

The literature review covers 44peer-reviewed articles on…[Read more]

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) facilitate the rapid and diverse construction of molecular scaffolds with modularity and step economy. In this work, engagement of boronic acids as carbon nucleophiles culminates in a Passerini-type three-component coupling reaction towards the synthesis of an expanded inventory of α-hydroxyketones with skeletal…[Read more]

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic compounds generated mainly by anthropogenic sources. They are considered toxic to mammals, since they have carcinogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic properties, among others. Although mycoremediation is an efficient, economical and eco-friendly technique for degrading PAHs, the fungal degradation…[Read more]

It is believed that this selection will help to further understand and drive the development of seawater-degradable polymers.Patients suffering from heart failure often require circulatory support using ventricular assist devices (VADs). However, most existing VADs provide nonpulsatile flow, involve direct contact between the blood flow and the…[Read more]

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently one of the most frequent malignant neoplasms, ranking 3rd in incidence and 2nd in mortality both in the USA and across the world. The pathogenesis of CRC is a complex interaction between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors such as exposure to metals. Therefore, the present study was intended to…[Read more]

Mortality risk is known to be associated with many physiological or biochemical risk factors, and polygenic risk scores (PRSs) may offer an additional or alternative approach to risk stratification. We have compared the predictive value of common biochemical tests, PRSs and information on parental survival in a cohort of twins and their families.…[Read more]
