Mean time to complete resolution in group A was 1.89 ± 0.28 (range 1.25-2) months, significantly lesser than group B (5.17 ± 2.64 [range 2-9] months, p = 0.005, Mann-Whitney test). Mean time to first sign of resolution (range from 5 days to 10 weeks, p = 0.35) and mean change in BCVA between presentation and final follow up (p = 0.2) were co…[Read more]

Five themes emerged including feeling unwelcome in the UK, Brexit as racism, uncertainty on legal ability to work, strain on relationships, and in contrast, a current lack of concern about Brexit.

To mitigate the adverse personal and professional impact of Brexit, healthcare providers should provide financial and legal support to doctors…[Read more]

gating radiation toxicity.Ultraviolet (UV) induces pyrimidine dimers (PDs) in DNA and replication-dependent fragmentation in chromosomes. The rnhAB mutants in Escherichia coli, accumulating R-loops and single DNA-rNs, are generally resistant to DNA damage, but are surprisingly UV-sensitive, even though they remove PDs normally, suggesting…[Read more]

Chemical modification of biological materials is indispensable for enrichment of phosphorylated peptides. In this work, we synthesized a biomimetic honeycombed affinity chromatography (IMAC) adsorbent by preparing Crosslinked Chitosan, chelating aminomethyl phosphate decorated with Ti (IV) cation. The as-prepared CTSM@AMPA-Ti4+ composites with…[Read more]

Strategies to reduce osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms and increase physical function in persons with lower extremity (LE) OA is a public health priority.

To examine associations between diet quality and measures of physical function among overweight and obese older adults with self-reported LE OA.

413 overweight and obese primarily…[Read more]

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious disorder with a high disability rates and mortality rates. Accumulating evidence has identified the vital functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the treatment of AAA. Hence, this study is aimed at exploring the modulatory role of miR-194 in the development of AAA.

After the establishment of mouse…[Read more]

These findings improve the mechanistic understanding of floral microbiome assembly, and may be generalizable to many other plants that are visited by diverse insect pollinators in natural and managed ecosystems.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has called for research into tobacco harm reduction across ethnicities,…[Read more]
