Despite knowledge about eating disorder symptoms in children and adolescents in the general population, relatively little is known about self-reported and sex-specific eating-disorder-related psychopathology, as well as its specific correlates.

880 German school-attending adolescents (15.4±2.2 years) and 30 female patients with AN (1…[Read more]

These collective results suggested that ARPE-derived exosomes may serve as significant mediators of cell-to-cell crosstalk to suppress EndoMT by transferring miR-202-5p through the TGF/Smad pathway, and may be a potential treatment for PDR patients.Many flesh flies of the subfamily Sarcophaginae are very competitive carrion visitors and breeders,…[Read more]

This present study aims to investigate the relationship between laboratory parameters on admission and prognosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in maintenance hemodialysis patients, as well as providing a theoretical basis for clinical evaluation of prognosis and corresponding intervention measures.

Retrospective analysis was…[Read more]

From the point of view of dynamics, obstacles reduced the capacity of networks to spontaneously activate, with triangles in turn strongly dictating the direction of activity propagation. Effective connectivity networks, inferred using transfer entropy, exhibited distinct modular traits, indicating that the presence of obstacles facilitated the…[Read more]

Speckle-tracking echocardiography has become a major tool in the evaluation of heart function. Atrial strain has emerged as an important component in the assessment of cardiac function, but there is a paucity of prenatal data. The aim of this study was to describe our initial experience ofmeasurement of atrial strain in fetuses, with respect to…[Read more]

To compare the analgesic efficacy of two techniques of morphine titration (intermittent intravenous bolus vs infusion) by calculating rescue dosage in a day at 1 week after analgesic titration.

One hundred and forty cancer patients were randomised into two groups. In group 1, intravenous morphine 1.5 mg bolus given every 10 min until Numer…[Read more]

This system is suited to handle a mass of wafers by continuous processing on site for its high reliability and measurement consistency. The measurement accuracy, validated by laser interferometry, was better than 0.5 μm and the repeatability was superior to 0.1 μm.Increasing evidence suggests that apoptosis of tubular cells and renal i…[Read more]

Bioprinting holds great promise towards engineering functional cardiac tissue constructs for regenerative medicine and as drug test models. However, it is highly limited by the choice of inks that require maintaining a balance between the structure and functional properties associated with the cardiac tissue. check details In this regard, we have…[Read more]
