400%±12.242%) compared to uninvolved skin (0.073%±0.185%, P=0.024).

The microenvironment of the comedone differs from that of inflammatory lesions and unaffected skin. The increased frequency of biofilm in comedones may account for the lack of host inflammatory response to these lesions.

The microenvironment of the comedone differs f…[Read more]

Taken together, the co-production of Tet(X) and MCR-1 appears as a major clinic/public health concern.The intestinal mucosa is in continuous contact with milliard of microorganisms, thus intestinal epithelial barrier is a critical component in the arsenal of defense mechanisms required to prevent infection and inflammation. Mucin 2 (MUC2), which…[Read more]

47). In contrast, SCP-VD, retinal thickness, and GCC thickness were statistically different among the groups (P ≤ 0.016), except for the foveal SCP-VD (P ≥ 0.19) and the evening foveal thickness (P = 0.57). Diurnal changes in the CC perfusion area, SCP-VD, retinal thickness, and GCC thickness were not statistically significant (P ≥ 0.16). Syste…[Read more]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is highly prevalent in obese patients and is the leading cause of death. High levels of plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with higher coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on the achievement of the currently…[Read more]

This approach may be useful in a public health context by providing early warning of vector-borne diseases in other settings.

A predictive model has been shown to be useful in forecasting the occurrence of RRV disease, with increased vector populations and rainfall being important factors associated with transmission. This approach may be…[Read more]

In developing countries, crop deterioration is mainly caused by inappropriate storage conditions that promote insect infestation. Synthetic pesticides are associated with serious adverse effects on humans and the environment. Thus, finding alternative “green” insecticides is a very pressing need. Calotropis procera (Aiton) Dryand (Apocynaceae)…[Read more]

In recent years, hydrogels with self-healing capability and conductivity have become ideal materials for the design of electrodes, soft robotics, electronic skin, and flexible wearable devices. However, it is still a critical challenge to achieve the synergistic characteristics of high conductivity, excellent self-healing efficiency without any…[Read more]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasingly contributing to the disease burden in South Asia. This review will summarize the prevalence and risk factors of COPD in South Asia and the interventions regarding COPD that have been introduced in South Asian countries.

This scoping review will primarily follow Arksey and…[Read more]

Moreover, the identification of a human single nucleotide polymorphism at codon 72 of the Tp53 gene that controls p53 mitochondrial localization and cell susceptibility to apoptosis supports the important role of the p53 mitochondrial program in neuronal survival and functional recovery after stroke. In this article, we review the relevance of…[Read more]
