Neauvia hydrogel (N-Gel) is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, cross-linked with polyethylene glycol. This filler contains sodium hyaluronate at different concentrations, is poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether cross-linked, the hydrogel contains also glycine and l-prolyne. Assessing any effects of N-Gel on immunity and inflammation is of…[Read more]

Together, our findings demonstrate that epigenetic silencing of SIX3 is controlled by a sophisticated and highly ordered oncogenic signaling pathway and therefore provide new insights into initiation and progression of glioblastoma.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has evolved over several thousands of years, which has been shown to be…[Read more]

Over the period of one year, 4.2% and 6.1% of risk-free students became tobacco user and sexual risk-takers, respectively, and 22.4% of tobacco user students, transfer to the multiple risk-taker group. CONCLUSION The prevalence of risk-taking behaviors increased during the freshman year. Tobacco smoking was  predispose acquiring more risky…[Read more]

INTRODUCTION After the first patellar dislocation, most patients report damage of the medio-patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and surgical reconstruction is required. The purpose of this study is to systematically review current evidence and to clarify the role of the gracilis and semitendinosus tendons as graft for isolated MPFL reconstruction.…[Read more]

Background Responsive vagus nerve stimulation (rVNS) utilizes an electrocardiograph (ECG)-based algorithm to detect rapid sympathetic activations associated with the onset of a seizure. Abrupt sympathetic activation may also be associated with nocturnal arousals between sleep cycles or transitioning from sleep to wakefulness, a period in which…[Read more]

OBJECTIVES To investigate the widely concerned issue about positive real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results after discharge in patients recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS We identified seven cases of COVID-19 who was readmitted to hospital because of positive RT-PCR after discharge,…[Read more]

We study the transport phenomena of an inertial Brownian particle in a symmetric potential with periodicity, which is driven by an external time-periodic force and an external constant bias for both cases of the deterministic dynamics and the existence of friction coefficient fluctuations. For the deterministic case, it is shown that for suitable…[Read more]

n the literature cannot be extrapolated (limited external validity). Although meta-analyses are useful to overview the burden of diseases across studies, their ability to summarize extensive literature with various economic assessments is limited. These limitations in loss assessments also suggest the need to focus on management strategies rather…[Read more]

RESULTS We found no differences in knowledge between the in-person lecture and the online module. However, students who completed the online module performed better on the application questions. Students in the lecture group reported greater satisfaction with the course than students in the online group. CONCLUSIONS Lecture resulted in adequate…[Read more]

BACKGROUND The neonatal period carries the highest risk of bacterial meningitis (~ 1 in 5000 births), bearing high mortality (~ 10%) and morbidity (20-50%) rates. Lumbar puncture (LP) remains essential to the diagnosis of meningitis. Though LP is a common procedure in neonates, success rates are lower (50-60%) than in other patient pop…[Read more]
