The occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 has been reported to be as high as 43%. This is comparable to AKI in other forms of pneumonia requiring…[Read more]

The eyes are our windows to the brain. There are differences in brain activity between people who have their eyes closed (EC) and eyes open (EO). Previous studies focused on differences in brain functional properties between these eyes conditions based on an assumption that brain activity is a static phenomenon. However, the dynamic nature of the…[Read more]

Multivariate analysis revealed a better survival in overall patients with OBC patients according to breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS). Propensity score analysis also achieved a similar result for OBC patients. Stratified analyses by nodal status and molecular subtypes indicated that these survival advantage were…[Read more]

The precision was 1.4-degrees for O-DFA and 3.0-degrees for P-DFA. Repeatability and reproducibility were excellent in both techniques. In the group of patients with poor foveal definition, the precision of P-DFA changed from 3.0-degrees to 4.8-degrees, whereas the O-DFA remained stable.

OCT had a good agreement with the fundus photography…[Read more]

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) continues to be one of the most complex reproductive and endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age. Recent reports have identified close interaction of Vitamin D deficiency and oxidative stress (OS) in exacerbating the pathophysiology of PCOS. This current study aims at assessing the combine effect of…[Read more]

This work provides a superior synthesis strategy for the effective design and rational fabrication of low-cost, highly active, and highly stable non-precious metal HER electrocatalysts for electricity-to-hydrogen applications.Metal nitrides have been suggested as prospective catalysts for the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) in…[Read more]

These results point toward the MERTK apoptotic-cell clearance/response pathway playing a key role in growth of aggressive B-cell lymphoma and identifies MERTK as a novel potential antilymphoma target.The majority of medical students and many physicians find basic science immunology confusing and the teaching of immunology to be uninteresting.…[Read more]
