Then, the chloride diffusion coefficient model under uniaxial and biaxial sustained compressive stress is established based on the apparent chloride diffusion coefficient. Finally, the results demonstrate that the chloride diffusion coefficient model is reasonable and feasible by comparing the experimental data in the opening literature with the…[Read more]

Streptomyces spp. are Gram-positive soil bacteria that have been reported in some cases to cause acute and chronic infections, including mycetomas, pneumonia, and septicemia. Here, we present Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 phage Spernnie. Spernnie is a temperate siphophage containing 89 predicted coding genes in a 50,834-bp genome…[Read more]

18; 95%CI, 1.23-3.83 and 1.87 (95%CI, 1.05-3.36), respectively) and of mortality alone (HR, 2.91; 95%CI, 1.211-7.04 and 5.47; 95%CI, 2.10-14.26, respectively). NT-ProBNP significantly improved the troponin model discrimination of mortality or MV (C-index 0.83 to 0.84), and of mortality alone (C-index 0.85 to 0.87).

No statistically significant difference in revision rate, occurrence of aseptic loosening or RLL nor outcome as measured with PROMS was observed.

No bearing fractures or clinical inferiority was observed for vitamin E-enriched HXLPE at medium-term follow-up (7years) compared to conventional Arcom polyethylene.

Fourteen patients reported they were extremely satisfied with the outcome, 1 was moderately satisfied, and 2 were dissatisfied. 17-DMAG nmr No cases of recurrence of synovitis or loose body formation were noted, nor any signs of malignant transformation during the follow-up period.

We believe the risk of recurrence of PSC, which is in…[Read more]

The majority of older adults with advanced dementia (AD) develop difficulties with eating and swallowing, often prompting concerns about nutrition and quality of life. Employing a palliative approach requires providers to attain skills in addressing symptoms and communicating with family caregivers about the trajectory of AD and associated…[Read more]

The importance of surface charge for PFAS adsorption was further corroborated by the observation that the adsorption of PFASs decreased upon phosphate adsorption in a way that was consistent with the decrease in ferrihydrite ζ-potential. The results show that ferrihydrite can be an important sorbent for PFASs with six or more perfluorinated…[Read more]

The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of Cr (VI) using Green-Graphene Nanosheets (GGN) synthesized from rice straw.

Synthesis of the GGN was optimized using response surface methodology and central composite design (CCD). The effect of two independent variables including KOH-to-raw rice ash (KOH/RRA) ratio and temperature on…[Read more]

25  less then  PIC  less then  0.5). Seven loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction (P  less then  0.0033). No significant linkage disequilibrium was detected between loci pairs. This study provided a large number of genomic resources and 15 polymorphic microsatellite loci that should be helpful for the further gen…[Read more]
