Even if further studies are necessary, from these results, the HR seems to provide additional information on gait patterns with respect to the traditional spatio-temporal parameters, advancing the assessment of the effects of FDS devices in stroke patients.X-ray analysis cannot provide quantitative estimates of the relative contribution of…[Read more]

The most prevalent sleep disorder among students was narcolepsy at 226 (51.6%). Female students, second year students and students spending significant time watching television or on smartphones were more affected than others with p values of 0.001, 0.005, and 0.004 respectively. Conclusions Sleep disorders are common among medical students. It is…[Read more]

8 vs. 5.6%, p < 0.001). ESKD patients more likely had ischemia identified on stress testing (19.3 vs. 8.3%, p = 0.001). Mean LHR was 0.31 (Standard deviation – SD 0.09) and was similar across CKD-ND stages and ESKD. Primary outcome in the lowest (23%) and highest (33.3%) LHR tertile was higher than the middle tertile (12.8%); p = 0.005. click here…[Read more]

esults demonstrated dietary BBR supplementation improved the growth performance of yellow-feathered broilers, and was closely related to the significant changes in cecal microbiota composition.Foodborne illness is an ongoing problem worldwide and is caused by bacteria that invade the food chain from the farm, slaughter house, restaurant or…[Read more]

Instituted under the Paris Agreement, nationally determined contributions (NDCs) outline countries’ plans for mitigating and adapting to climate change. They are the primary policy instrument for protecting people’s health in the face of rising global temperatures. However, evidence on engagement with health in the NDCs is scarce. In this study,…[Read more]

7%, while the ethane selectivity was found to be 15.9 and 10% for the Ag-TNTA and Cu-TNTA, respectively. Adjacent adsorption sites in our photocatalyst develop an asymmetric charge distribution due to quadrupole resonances in large metal nanoparticles and multipole resonances in Ag-Cu heterodimers. Such an asymmetric charge distribution decreases…[Read more]

Thus, principal component analysis was performed to collect the proper components to discriminate low-quality products from standard products. The principal component score-based support vector machine was able to produce highly accurate results, identifying falsified products with no false positive cases.The rechargeable Zn-air batteries as an…[Read more]

Adolescent female athletes are at risk for menstrual dysfunction in the setting of exercise and low energy availability. Education regarding menstrual dysfunction and its associated consequences is important to promote athlete well-being.

The primary aim was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of female athletes who believe…[Read more]

Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of COX2 (cyclooxygenase-2), MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), and eotaxin were reduced in SAC treated animals. Treatment of rats with SAC significantly reduced inflammation and eosinophil infiltration in the lungs. These…[Read more]

ever received cancer information, and knowledge of cervical cancer screening utilization were predictors of cervical cancer screening practice.

Factors like age, educational status, anyone knowing with cervical cancer and ever received cancer information had a significant association with knowledge of cervical cancer screening utilization.…[Read more]

Ischemic stroke is a multifactorial disease contributing to mortality and neurological dysfunction. Isoliquiritin (ISL) has been reported to possess a series of pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anti-depression, anti-neurotoxicity and pro-angiogenesis activities but whether it can be used for ischemic…[Read more]

We developed novel scaffolds for the adherent culture of neural stem/progenitor cells on the woven mesh. Nylon mesh (NM) is an inert material for cell adhesion. We prepared polyacrylic acid-grafted nylon mesh (PAA-NM) by graft polymerization method using gamma-irradiation. Matrigel was covalently immobilized to the carboxyl groups in PAA-NM by…[Read more]

On FFA, seven of these patients (77.8%) showed leakage of fluorescein in the small- and medium-branch veins of the retina, and a “bristle-like” change indicated increased permeability of the vessels. B-mode ultrasound showed proliferative membranes and proliferative bands (33.3%), as well as spotted opacity in the vitreous (66.7%). The antibodies…[Read more]

Electrochemical sensors, with high accuracy, good selectivity, and linear response, have been widely used for environmental protection, health monitoring, and disease treatment. However, to date, these sensors still have limit sensitivity or otherwise require the use of high-cost materials such as noble metals and enzymes. Here, we report a novel…[Read more]
