In this study, N-doped and TiO2-decorated graphene oxides were developed as efficient nonprecious electrodes for capacitive deionization. The activity of this new material was evaluated in situ and in vivo. The performance of the synthesized material was measured in different saline solutions (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 M NaCl) as an electrolyte. The…[Read more]

To provide a systematic review of brain injury and altered brain development in moderate-late preterm (MLPT) infants as compared to very preterm and term infants.

A systematic search in five databases was performed in January 2020. Original research papers on incidence of brain injury and papers using quantitative data on brain development…[Read more]

CLINICAL RELEVANCE Loss of an eye has a negative impact on the psychological health of a person. BACKGROUND The aims are to (a) identify the concerns of experienced prosthetic eye wearers in representative areas of India; (b) investigate how they change over time; (c) study how some demographic characteristics influence concerns; and (d) compare…[Read more]

Methods A convenience sample of consecutively recruited HIV[-] women (n = 295) and women living with…[Read more]

© 2020, Lee et al.All of the known porcine sapeloviruses (PSVs) currently belong to a single genotype in the genus Sapelovirus (family Picornaviridae). Here, the complete genome of a second, possibly recombinant, genotype of PSV strain SZ1M-F/PSV/HUN2013 (MN807752) from a faecal sample of a paraplegic pig in Hungary was characterized using viral…[Read more]

Universal health coverage (UHC) is driving the global health agenda. Many countries have embarked on national policy reforms towards this goal, including China. In 2009, the Chinese government launched a new round of healthcare reform towards UHC, aiming to provide universal coverage of basic healthcare by the end of 2020. The year of 2019 marks…[Read more]

Understanding the differential diagnosis between device-related pressure ulcers (DRPUs) and pressure ulcers ensures that appropriate prevention, management and intervention plans are identified. National reporting systems now include DRPUs alongside other categories of pressure ulcers listed by international pressure ulcer advisory panels. Medical…[Read more]

The SYK expression, strong in the most self-reactive iNKT clones and variable in ex vivo isolated iNKT cells, seems to decrease the activation threshold of iNKT cells and increase their overall antigenic sensitivity. This study indicates that a modulation of the TCR intracellular signal contributes to iNKT self-reactivity. This article is…[Read more]

th, the cut-off value of gingival thickness to classify thick and thin biotype of Chinese population was 1.1 mm. The average gingival thickness of the maxillary teeth was significantly thicker than that of the mandibular teeth. Besides, CBCT measurement was an accuracy method for evaluating facial gingival thickness.OBJECTIVE To observe and…[Read more]
