Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry supported by mobility classification (ESI-DMA-MS) is a strong technique for a comprehensive analysis of organic and inorganic clusters and small nanoparticles. In-depth understanding and optimization of the electrospray process are key for unlocking new fields of application and for extension of the…[Read more]

Furthermore, those who came in after a week had a dry cough and fever as their main complaint. Majority of ingested foreign bodies was a vegetative type (80%) as compared to the non -vegetative.

Unlike adults, foreign body aspiration in children is most commonly diagnosed on history, suspicion and clinical findings. Chest x ray has been…[Read more]

Exhaled breath contains thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced during various metabolic processes both in health and disease.Analysis of breath with electronic nose BIONOTE-V allows modifications of exhaled VOCs to be studied, which are clinically recognized to be a marker for several disorders, including heart failure. New…[Read more]

Two independent tests on L929 mice fibroblasts (ToxiLight and PrestoBlue) showed that ZSM-55, in moderate concentrations may be safely used as a carrier of drug molecules, not having negative effect on the cells viability or proliferation rate.Follicular fluid (FF) constitutes the microenvironment of the developing oocyte. We recently…[Read more]

This study demonstrated an inhibitory effect of the intestinal vitamin D signaling pathway on necroptosis in DSS-induced colitis. The vitamin D receptor shifts from the nucleus to the cytosol to impede the formation of RIPK1/3. Our findings may offer some theoretical basis for a novel treatment of IBD in clinical practice.”My biggest motivation is…[Read more]

In this chapter we will discuss whether prion strain variation can affect the efficacy of methods used to decontaminate prions and whether strain variation in pre-clinical models of prion disease can be used to identify therapeutic strategies that have the best possible chance of success in the clinic.Human prion disease may present in a…[Read more]

Interestingly, we noted a similarity in the dependence of membrane dipole potential and cholesterol with progress of the cell cycle. In addition, we observed an increase in neutral lipid (which contains esterified cholesterol) content as cells progressed from the G1 to G2/M phase via the S phase of the cell cycle. Importantly, we further observed…[Read more]

To (a) explore how the diary contributes to patient motivation for monitoring self-management and (b) explore the nurses’ experience of how the diary supports the patients’ self-management after lung transplantation.

A quantitative and qualitative study design.

Fifteen patients and four nurses participated. Data were analysed…[Read more]

All had gastric/endocervical-like mucinous epithelium, but 5 also had a focal intestinal-like epithelium. Cytologic atypia was graded as 1 to 3 and defined as 1A mucinous, without cytoarchitectural atypia (n=3), 1B mild (n=7), 2 moderate (n=2), and 3 severe atypia (n=7, 3 of which also had invasive carcinoma, 16%). Background gallbladder mucosal…[Read more]
