Homing endonucleases (HE) are enzymes capable of cutting DNA at highly specific target sequences, the repair of the generated double-strand break resulting in the insertion of the HE-encoding gene (“homing” mechanism). HEs are present in all three domains of life and viruses; in eukaryotes, they are mostly found in the genomes of mitochondria and…[Read more]

154, P=0.003). Additionally, crystalline lens decentration and AL explained 54.6% of the variability in IOL decentration. AL was the factor most highly associated with IOL decentration (R

=0.332, P<0.001), rather than crystalline lens decentration (R

=0.214, P<0.001).

The position of the preoperative crystalline lens and AL were…[Read more]

Subjects with a score ≥4.1 compared to those with a score less then 4.1, had a higher risk of decompensation (sHR 6.7, 95% CI 4.0-11.2, p less then 0.001), a greater five-year cumulative incidence (37% versus 6%, p less then 0.001) and shorter mean duration to decompensation (3.8 vs 6.7 years, p less then 0.001). The accuracy of the ABIDE model a…[Read more]

To determine the prevalence of potential interactions in COVID19 patients receiving lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r). The secondary objective was to develop recommendations and identify the risk factors associated with presenting potential interactions with LPV/r.

Cross-sectional and multicenter study with the participation of 2 hospitals.…[Read more]

The use of selective insecticides aids farmers in maintaining pest populations below the economic threshold level. The integrated use of biological and chemical control is only possible if the effects of insecticides on natural enemies are studied. Although the IOBC/WPRS standards allow us to compare these studies worldwide, the methods used are…[Read more]

We aimed to investigate the image quality of the U-SPECT5/CT E-Class a micro single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system with two large stationary detectors for visualization of rat hearts and bones using clinically available 99mTc-labelled tracers. Sensitivity, spatial resolution, uniformity and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the…[Read more]

Mung bean is gaining attention as a sustainable and economic source of plant protein. The current study evaluates the techno-functionality, anti-nutrient properties, in vivo protein quality and toxicity of texturized mung bean protein (TMBP) produced under optimized conditions. Our work successfully produces TMBP with improved…[Read more]
