Cactus species are plants that grow in the arid and semiarid regions of the world. They have long fascinated the attention of the scientific community due to their unusual biology. Cactus species are used for a variety of purposes, such as food, fodder, ornamental, and as medicinal plants. In the last regard, they have been used in traditional…[Read more]

The antidote DMPS (dimercaptopropanesulfonate is considered the drug of choice for polonium decorporation. DTPA (diethylenetriamine pentaacetate) is a potent chelator especially approved for radionuclide mobilization, including polonium and other actinides. Other chelators and drugs are under investigation as potential chelators of transuranic…[Read more]

A unified and protecting-group-free six-step total synthesis of bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoid beshanzuenone D and its stereoisomers and abiespiroside A using S-(+)-carvone as a common chiral-pool building block is disclosed. This synthetic route features chemoselective allylic chlorination of carvone, Au(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization induced…[Read more]

The experiment also revealed that rotation rates in the given short-period range noticeably changed over a distance as short as 2 m.We developed an algorithm to detect premature atrial contraction (PAC) and premature ventricular contraction (PVC) using photoplethysmographic (PPG) data acquired from a smartwatch. Our PAC/PVC detection algorithm is…[Read more]

58, P < 0.0001).

Our methods provide a direct measure of ingested calories and stool calories needed to accurately assess relative stool calorie loss as a measure of nutrient absorption. The weight of stool samples across the marked diet period is crucial to determining total stool calories.

Our methods provide a direct measure of ing…[Read more]

Finally, the clinical therapeutic uses of members of the TGF-β superfamily and their associated complications are debated.The study was aimed at comparing lower-limb strength and respiratory parameters between male and female athletes and their interaction with performance in a 107 km mountain ultramarathon. Forty seven runners (29 males and 18…[Read more]
