en a preventive and therapeutic effect against T2DM and suggests that this is a potential combination of phytoconstituents for excellent hypoglycemic activity in T2DM.

The combination of swertiamarin and quercetin (CSQ) has proven a preventive and therapeutic effect against T2DM and suggests that this is a potential combination of…[Read more]

The influence of water content on mode I fracture toughness (KIc) of mudstones has been studied using semi-circular bend (SCB) specimens subject to three-point bendings. And the mudstone SCB specimens are divided into three types, including Type-A, Type-B and Type-C, corresponding to the three configurations of the bedding planes, including…[Read more]

The detection and diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is of paramount importance for optimal treatment and for participation in disease-modifying trials. The present study assesses the diagnostic accuracy of the Baylor Functional Assessment Scale (BFAS), a self-administered screening instrument, designed to…[Read more]

Interestingly 2 and 3 are thermally stable and they do not undergo benzyne formation via LiF elimination.

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are at greater cardiovascular risk than those with T2D without MetS. In the current report we aim to study the characteristics, cardio-renal outcomes and the effect of…[Read more]

The source of Zn was tyre wear and traffic. Ni, Cr, Fe, and Cd were correlated to Zn and shared a common/similar origin. PCA suggested that Cu features quasi-independent behaviour. The Pb isotopic ratios of RSW indicated Pb enrichment originating from coal combustion, while the gasoline and diesel source of Pb was excluded. The Pb isotopic ratios…[Read more]

Infrared (IR) laser ablation-remote-electrospray ionization (LARESI) platform coupled to a tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) operated in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) or multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes was developed and employed for imaging of target metabolites in human kidney cancer tissue. SRM or MRM modes were employed to avoid…[Read more]

The CTS residents with children were more likely to express regret toward pursuing CTS training. A greater proportion of women than men reported poor levels of balance/quality of life during training as measured by missed health appointments, negative impact on relationships, and self-perception. Similarly, those in the final 3 years of training…[Read more]

This article develops an adaptive neural-network (NN) boundary control scheme for a flexible manipulator subject to input constraints, model uncertainties, and external disturbances. First, a radial basis function NN method is utilized to tackle the unknown input saturations, dead zones, and model uncertainties. Then, based on the backstepping…[Read more]

The predictive values of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels for postoperative infectious complications were investigated in patients who underwent elective laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer.

A total of 154 consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) were…[Read more]

The DBH-based lux reporter array was successfully used for simultaneous identification, quantification, and toxicity/bioactivity assessment of multiple metal ions. Obviously, all the chemical synthetic material-based metal ion sensing methods cannot simultaneously achieve analysis and toxicity evaluation. This approach possessed additional…[Read more]
