It is known that both magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities suppress unconventional superconductivity. Here we compare their effect on the paradigm unconventional superconductor, superfluid ^3He, using highly dilute silica aerogel. Switching magnetic to nonmagnetic scattering in the same physical system is achieved by coating the aerogel surface…[Read more]

this subtle variability into account.Frequent independent origins of environmental sex determination (ESD) are assumed within amniotes. However, the phylogenetic distribution of sex-determining modes suggests that ESD is likely very ancient and may be homologous across ESD groups. Sex chromosomes are demonstrated to be old and stable in…[Read more]

Research goal Assess the relationships between anxiety levels, physical activity and in utero exposure to Gestational Diabetes mellitus (GDM) in children age 9 to 15, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, participants completed phone call or video calls with study personnel where they were asked to report on their…[Read more]

LT4 administration increased the levels of serum triiodothyronine and thyroxine, activity of oxidative stress markers with a parallel decrease in antioxidant markers and Nrf2. MG149 cell line However, the simultaneous administration of quercetin, reversed all these effects indicating its potential in the regulation of hyperthyroidism. Furthermore,…[Read more]

This study was aimed at investigating the mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) for recurrent neoantigen identification. A total of 1779 samples with whole exome sequencing (WES) data were obtained from 7 published CRC cohorts. Common HLA genotypes were used to predict the probability of neoantigens at high-frequency mutants in the dataset. Based…[Read more]

Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a causative agent of severe infections in humans. There is no publically available vaccine for K. pneumoniae infections yet. Here, using comprehensive immunoinformatics methods, T-cell-specific epitopes of four type 1 fimbriae antigens of K. pneumoniae were predicted and evaluated as potential vaccine…[Read more]

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is now established as a vital sign. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is the gold-standard approach to assessing CRF.

A body of literature spanning several decades clearly supports the clinical utility of CPX in those who are apparently health and at risk for chronic disease as well as numerous patient…[Read more]

The complete genome sequence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) isolate Siena-1/2020 was obtained by Nanopore sequencing, combining the direct RNA sequencing and amplicon sequencing approaches. The isolate belongs to the B1.1 lineage, which is prevalent in Europe, and contains a mutation in the spike protein coding…[Read more]

intussusception, or just a deficient perineum (Guzman Rojas et al. 2016). What do the results of this study add? Our study demonstrates that 3D translabial pelvic floor ultrasound is a useful and reliable tool in assessing the anatomical outcome of prolapse surgery. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further…[Read more]

Groin hernias include indirect inguinal, direct inguinal, and femoral hernias. Obturator and supravesical hernias appear very close to the groin. High-quality repairs are required for groin hernias. The concept of “tension-free repair” is generally accepted, and surgical repairs with mesh are categorized as “hernioplasties”. Surgeons should have…[Read more]

her measures are adopted to protect animal welfare or animal health, for WTO consistency, they must not result in unjustifiable, arbitrary or unnecessary discrimination. Secondly, regardless of how the WTO deals with animal welfare, governments must respond to the growing interest of consumers in farm animal welfare. The OIE standards, as…[Read more]
