The macroscopic viscosity of polymer solutions in general differs strongly from the viscosity at the nanometer scale, and the relation between the two can be complicated. To investigate this relation, we use a fluorescent molecular rotor that probes the local viscosity of its molecular environment. For a range of chain lengths and concentrations,…[Read more]

As the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection continues its spread all over the world, data on perinatal management of the maternal-infant dyad are urgent. We performed an observational study to describe the effects of the early separation of the maternal-infant dyad, in case of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. We…[Read more]

The aim To investigate haematological and biochemical parameters and their potential for grading the severity of coronary artery lesions to predict the course atherosclerosis.

Materials and methods The study is based on data obtained from a prospective analysis of 131 patients at the age of 51 to 82 years old from…[Read more]

This study indicated that although IPP is valued by SLPs and AUDs, barriers continue to limit the percentage of practitioners engaging in IPP. Although both professions experienced common barriers, their beliefs about barriers to collaboration differed.

GT mismatches, the major mispairs generated during DNA metabolism, are repaired in part by mismatch-specific DNA glycosylases such as methyl-CpG-binding domain 4 (MBD4) and thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG). Mismatch-specific DNA glycosylases must discriminate the mismatches against million-fold excess correct base pairs. MBD4 efficiently removes…[Read more]

an uncontrolled, free-living setting, regardless of specific weight loss interventions. The beneficial associations of regular self-weighing were more pronounced for overweight or obese individuals.

Frequent self-weighing was associated with favorable weight loss outcomes also in an uncontrolled, free-living setting, regardless of specific…[Read more]
