Bauhinia cheilantha (Fabaceae), known popularly as pata-de-vaca and mororó has been largely recommended treating several diseases in folk medicine. However, information on safe doses and use is still scarce. The goal was to evaluate in-vitro antioxidant and antihemolytic and also acute and sub-acute toxicity effects of hydroalcoholic extract from…[Read more]

To examine trends and projections of underweight (Body Mass Index, BMI < 18.5 kg/m

) and overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m

) in women of reproductive age in 55 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

We used data from 2,337,855 women aged 15-49 years from nationally representative Demographic and Health Survey conducted between 1990…[Read more]

We propose that the method outlined could provide a powerful tool for testing the impacts of multiple interacting pollutants upon microbial activity, at a range of scales, across aquatic systems and over ecologically relevant time scales.

Understanding and identifying the factors responsible for genetic differentiation is of fundamental…[Read more]

The widespread use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has become a mainstay of care for a variety of malignancies. However, these therapies portend a range of adverse effects, including a potentially fatal form of cardiotoxicity which to date has not been elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the baseline characteristics of ICI-mediated…[Read more]

Effectively designing and evaluating public health responses to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic requires accurate estimation of the prevalence of COVID-19 across the United States (US). Equipment shortages and varying testing capabilities have however hindered the usefulness of the official reported positive COVID-19 case counts. We introduce four…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to explore the relevant factors that affect the risk of cesarean scar diverticulum (CSD).A retrospective, case-control study was designed among women with a history of cesarean section (CS) who were admitted in Zhejiang Tongde Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. Women with missing information were excluded.…[Read more]

Transcriptome measures revealed the up-regulation of oxidative phosphorylation genes following 6 h of negative lens-wear, concordant with previous reports at 2 days in this model. Signal transduction pathways, with core genes involved in glutamate and G-protein coupled receptor signalling, were down-regulated at 6 h. These findings contribute to a…[Read more]

A wide range of obstetric, social and contextual factors have been measured, including exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) (1-year, 4-year and 10-year follow-up).

1507 eligible women were recruited at a mean gestation of 15weeks. At one year, four years and ten years postpartum, 90.0%, 73.1% and 63.2% of the original cohort took…[Read more]

This tool will enable efficient and reliable numerical prototypes of paper-based electrophoretic devices to accompany the contemporary fast growth in paper-based microfluidics.

To evaluate the influence of surface treatment on roughness (SA), topography, and shear bond strength (SBS) of computer-aided designer and manufacture (CAD/CAM)…[Read more]
