The purpose of this study was to assess differences in the physiological profiles of completers vs. non-completers following a structured exercise programme (SEP) and the ability to predict non-completers, which is currently unknown in this group.

Sixty-nine patients met the Fukuda criteria. Patients completed baseline measures assessing…[Read more]

Claudication has a relatively benign natural history, associated with a low risk of limb loss. However, rates of progression to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) following lower extremity revascularization (LER) for claudication remain unclear. This study examines the long-term outcomes and risk factors…[Read more]

are service is needed for early identification, prevention and resolution of drug-related problems.

Urolithins are gut microbiota-derived polyphenol metabolites, produced following the consumption of pomegranate, berries, and nuts. Recent studies have shown the potentials of these metabolites on reducing triglycerides accumulation in cultured…[Read more]

The aim of this paper is to draw attention on the politicization of nature, in particular Atewa forest reserve and its bauxite resources.Kerala, a small state in South India, has been celebrated as a development model by scholars across the world for its exemplary achievements in human development and poverty reduction despite relatively low GDP…[Read more]

To effectively confront the type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemic, policymakers and the public need to problematize T2D less as a medical and more as a social problem. An award-winning T2D prevention campaign was harnessed to determine the most successful ways of framing ads on Facebook.

We will observe variation in the effectiveness of ad…[Read more]

Feather damaging behavior (FDB), also referred to as feather picking, feather plucking, or pterotillomania, is one of the most common and frustrating clinical presentations in captive psittacines. The clinical approach to identify underlying medical conditions associated with FDB is reviewed. Primary feather or skin diseases as well as systemic…[Read more]

sponges compared to green sponges. In general, deviations were so severe for both types of sponges, that it appears to be advisable to refrain from visually estimating blood loss whenever possible and instead to use other techniques such as e.g. colorimetric estimation.

Postoperative complications after major gastrointestinal surgery are a…[Read more]

The occurrence and development of primary immune thrombocytopenia is closely related to autoimmune imbalanced. Thus, we conducted the current study to investigate the modulation of IL-35, a newly identified immunological self-tolerance factor on immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). We were enrolled peripheral blood in 21 adult healthy…[Read more]

86, 95% CI 0.75-0.98) that disappeared when adjusting for baseline CNV activity (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.84-1.13).

In this post-hoc RCT analysis we did not observe a protecting or deteriorating effect of etidronate on CNV activity in patients with PXE after adjustment for baseline CNV.

In this post-hoc RCT analysis we did not observe a…[Read more]

A mosaic of cross-phylum chemical interactions occurs between all metazoans and their microbiomes. A number of molecular families that are known to be produced by the microbiome have a marked effect on the balance between health and disease1-9. Considering the diversity of the human microbiome (which numbers over 40,000 operational taxonomic…[Read more]

A series of ionic liquids (ILs) composed by choline (Ch) as a cation and different amino acids (AA) as anions and their respective aqueous mixtures were prepared using different [Ch][AA] contents in a range of 0.4-46 mol % IL. These solvents were used for the first time to achieve an eco-friendlier Paraoxon degradation. The results show that…[Read more]

To increase the supramolecular cooperativity in Fe(ii) spin crossover materials based on N1-substituted tetrazoles, a series of ω-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl) carboxylic acids with chain-lengths of C2-C4 were synthesized. Structural characterization confirmed the formation of a strong hydrogen-bond network, responsible for enhanced cooperativity in the…[Read more]
