Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives called jasmonates (JAs) are lipid-derived signalling molecules that are produced by plants and certain fungi. Beside this function, JAs have a great variety of applications in flavours and fragrances production. In addition, they may have a high potential in agriculture. JAs protect plants against infections.…[Read more]

Porphyrin-based frameworks, as specific kinds of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), have been widely used in energy-related conversion processes, including the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), and also in energy-related storage technologies…[Read more]

Although, human simulation methodology has its origins in medical education, nursing education has increased its use of simulated patient (SP) methodology to improve the education of nursing students across the curricula. This chapter will review the history of human simulation, introduce the human simulation continuum, and review different…[Read more]

Human cathelicidin This study examined prevalence and correlates of CVD risk-factors among patients with diabetes/subclinical atherosclerosis in Central Appalachia.

During 2012-2016, 3000…[Read more]

To determine the relationship between timing of initiation of temporizing neurosurgical treatment and rates of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and neurodevelopmental impairment in premature infants with post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD).

We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, the Cochrane Database of Systematic…[Read more]

Pure autonomic failure (PAF) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are rare disorders causing severe autonomic failure. Their initially similar clinical presentation may lead to years of diagnostic difficulties. Improving the differentiation would have an important impact on patients and families in view of better prediction of disease…[Read more]

Hollow layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanostructures derived from metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles (NPs) are candidate materials for applications in catalysis and energy storage. MOF NPs serve as a sacrificial template and are converted into LDH nanomaterials through two simultaneous processes etching of the NPs and growth of LDHs on…[Read more]

05). Deaths in Baltimore City/County were more likely than in other locations to involve fentanyl/alcohol (P < 0.05).

The majority of fentanyl-involved overdose deaths in Maryland involved multiple substances, and several demographic and geographic differences in these patterns emerged. Geographically-targeted interventions that are tai…[Read more]
