The present paper explores the use of this alternative methodology, which, relying on membrane technology approach, allows us to study the basic physiological and pathological behaviour of differentiated neuronal cells, as well as their changing behaviour, in response to new potential therapeutic treatment.The drying of bio-colloidal droplets can…[Read more]

Diverse genotypes co-circulated with putative-recombinants predominating. Astrovirus classification was complicated by the lack of a consistent characterisation system and reliable reference database. The VSS should be used cautiously to rate astrovirus diarrhoea. While surveillance in communities and out-patient clinics…[Read more]

Bupleurum species are well-known for their antipyretic, analgesic, gallbladder and other functions so that they are very popular in traditional Chinese medicine. However, to our knowledge, there is no completed chloroplast genome of Bupleurum genus in China. In the present study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome sequences for…[Read more]

Effective treatment has extended the life expectancy and reduced disability in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, previous research has found 45-65% of working-age PLWH were unemployed compared to 5-10% in the general public…[Read more]

In the VMH, ECS increased the expression of multiple genes, notably Bdnf, Adcyap1, and Crhr2, which are not only anorexigenic factors but are also modulators of lipid metabolism. Furthermore, gold-thioglucose-induced hypothalamic lesions affecting the VMH abolished the effect of ECS on the WAT, indicating that hypothalamus activation is required…[Read more]

The original mechanical set-up to test the blood-material interaction helped to prove that acrylic acid-based coatings expressed good haemocompatible properties.Countries with abundant solar radiation have the potential to invest in simple technologies for deactivation of many bacteria and viruses in medical solid waste. In addition to the…[Read more]

Herein, we highlight the youngest case to date of a 5-week-old infant with a left distal MCA pseudoaneurysm treated with Onyx embolization. Pseudoaneurysmal incidence, diagnosis and accepted management is discussed.Background The proximal femoral nail anti-rotation Asia (PFNA 2) is an implant designed for unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric…[Read more]

Neurological disorders such as epilepsy arise from disrupted brain networks. Our capacity to treat these disorders is limited by our inability to map these networks at sufficient temporal and spatial scales to target interventions. Current best techniques either sample broad areas at low temporal resolution (e.g. calcium imaging) or record from…[Read more]
