cibels) in the pure-tone audiometry examination performed before surgery is a favorable prognostic factor in the improvement of the bone-conduction threshold after surgery.

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential protective effect of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) against cis-diamminedichloroplatinum or cisplatin (CDDP)-induced…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ablating postganglionic parasympathetic fibers of the submandibular ganglion in combination with sublingual gland excision in the treatment of primary sialorrhea.

Healthy volunteers were initially chosen to determine a basic saliva flow rate value by saliva collection. Next,…[Read more]

In this paper, bismuth subcarbonate (BiO)2CO3-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite incorporated in Nafion matrix ((BiO)2CO3-rGO-Nafion) was synthesized and further applied, for the first time, in the sensitive detection of Pb(II) and Cd(II) by square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The as-synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by…[Read more]

Insulin and insulin-like growth factors are longevity determinants that negatively regulate Forkhead box class O (FoxO) transcription factors. In C. elegans mutations that constitutively activate DAF-16, the ortholog of mammalian FoxO3a, extend lifespan by two-fold. While environmental insults induce DAF-16 activity in younger animals, it also…[Read more]

In comparison to the traditional titration method, the proposed DPD method was more convenient to operate, required less samples and digestion reagents (i.e., KMnO4 and H2SO4) and could be employed for online monitor.The widespread use of triclosan in personal care products as an antimicrobial agent is leading to its alarming…[Read more]

These factors have been known targets for many anticancer drugs and treatments, and their modulation is a therapeutic goal, with the hope of rendering solid cancer a chronic rather than deadly disease. In this article, the current therapeutic arsenal against cancers is reviewed with a focus on immunotherapies.Realtors match home-seekers with…[Read more]

Ischemia/reperfusion-derived myocardial dysfunction is a common clinical scenario in patients after cardiac surgery. In particular, the sensitivity of cardiomyocytes to ischemic injury is higher than that of other cell populations. At present, hypothermia affords considerable protection against an expected ischemic insult. However, investigations…[Read more]

The effect of fluid balance on outcomes in elderly patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal-replacement therapy (CRRT) is not explained well. We investigated outcomes according to cumulative fluid balance (CFB) in elderly patients with AKI undergoing CRRT.

A total of 607 patients aged 65 years or older who started…[Read more]
