Higher levels of sCD14 and sCD163 were each associated with NCI. The sCD163 (log10) levels were higher for those with 1+ versus 2+ parasitemia level.

HIV and AM coinfection was associated with an increased risk of reduced learning and executive functions, and elevated systemic inflammation. Mood was more depressed in HIV patients with than…[Read more]

The model was first validated by the experimental results. Then numerical model with different air-gap was evaluated on the torque and speed constant changes. In the end, two equations were generated based on the curves derived from the torque and speed constant calculations. Determining these relationships between motor performance and motor…[Read more]

The rhizoplane bacterial diversity was reduced on Day 15 while being vastly enhanced on Day 30. Soil variables, including the electric conductivity, redox potential, and soil moisture, along with the soil haloxyfop residue, jointly shape the bacterial community in rhizosphere soil. Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) contains a large amount of…[Read more]

Patients with cancer often receive acid-suppressive agents (ASAs) to treat common gastroesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer diseases. Our systematic review addresses the association between ASAs and survival outcomes in these patients.

We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane until December 2019, including randomized controlled trials…[Read more]

The consumption of cocoa-rich (99%) chocolate in addition to the habitual diet could be related to a slight improvement in cognitive performance regarding cognitive flexibility and processing speed in postmenopausal women, with no changes in the rest of the cognitive performance variables evaluated.

This clinical trial has been registered at…[Read more]

Aim of this paper is to remind the risk of ototoxicity when using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, in particular as prophylactic agents against SARS-CoV-2, during the pandemic. Healthy subjects taking chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as prophylactic agents against SARS-CoV-2, during the pandemic, should be screened periodically, at least by…[Read more]

against influenza in a way that is consistent with the predictive ability of the Theory of Planned Behavior.Background – Yellow fever (YF) is a viral hemorrhagic fever that is transmitted by arthropods. It can occur with little symptomatic manifestations to the most fulminant forms. The most effective way to avoid YF is through vaccination. There…[Read more]

Directed assembly of nanocrystals from conventional templates suffers from poor control over the periodicity of the nanocrystal assembly, which is largely due to the fact that the template exists prior to the assembly and is not generally adaptive. Herein, small organic molecules (tris-amide triarylamines, TATA) are demonstrated as conceptual…[Read more]
