In this study, analytic models were used to simulate marginal resection in the area of the second premolar to the second molar region, and the mechanical effects on the mandible of residual bone mass, a maxillofacial prosthesis, and a reconstruction plate were evaluated by three-dimensional finite element analysis. As residual bone mass decreased,…[Read more]

LARCs were discussed less frequently during consultations than other contraceptives and HCPs may be perceived to hold negative opinions on LARCs.

A lack of knowledge about the features and benefits of LARCs can contribute to misconceptions and low adoption rates. HCPs play an important role in addressing this, as information conveyed…[Read more]

Eighty-eight (7%) patients developed an S-SSI. Patients who developed S-SSI had higher final lactate, blood loss, transfusion requirements, and wound classification. Patients with S-SSI more frequently had mesenteric or large bowel injury than those without S-SSI. Superficial SSI was associated with increased complications and prolonged length of…[Read more]

Anti retroviral drugs for HIV has problems with uncomfortable side effects and that endanger the lives of HIV sufferers. Several herbs have been empirically proven to have an effect on HIV eradication through inhibition of reverse transcriptase. One of such antiviral herbs is Justicia gendarussa (J. gendarussa). The aim of research is to evaluate…[Read more]

d Ag.The modulation of conformational flexibility in antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) has been investigated as a strategy to improve their efficacy against bacterial pathogens while reducing their toxicity. Here, we synthesized a library of helicity-modulated antimicrobial peptoids by the position-specific incorporation of helix-inducing monomers.…[Read more]

This article is part of the theme issue ‘The role of the microbiome in host evolution’.In many animal hosts, microbial symbionts are housed within specialized structures known as symbiotic organs, but the evolutionary origins of these structures have rarely been investigated. Here, I adopt an evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) approach,…[Read more]

Ultimately, the results demonstrate the possibility of performing injection sequences using an array of MHD pumps that can perform fluid handling in the 0-5 µL s-1 range.Pharmacists have demonstrated effectiveness in managing diabetes mellitus (DM) and lowering hemoglobin A1C (A1C) through direct patient management. Often patients with diabetes…[Read more]

Background Terminal complement component deficiencies are risk factors for neisserial infections. Objective To review the clinical characteristics, the diagnosis and the management of patients with a terminal complement component deficiency. Methods Pertinent articles were selected and reviewed in relation to a case presentation of C6 deficiency.…[Read more]

BMSCs-derived exosomes restrained apoptosis in hippocampal tissues of depressed rats. BMSCs-derived exosomes and upregulated miR-26a elevated SOD level, lessened MDA, LDH, TNF-α and IL-1β levels, boosted hippocampal neuron proliferation and suppressed apoptosis in depressed rats. CONCLUSION Collectively, our study reveals that miR-26a is lowly e…[Read more]

ing and death. The benefit of stroke/TIA reduction was not significantly evident for either warfarin or NOAC. However, NOAC was associated with the positive net clinical benefit over no OAC.

Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) is universal in patients with a Fontan circulation. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of its severe…[Read more]

Covid-19 is affecting our societies for more than just one, two or three months, maybe for even longer depending on where we live. In Germany, where I am located we have meanwhile ended the lockdown phase and started reopening. In this Editorial, I will try to describe the different aspects of the changes for an Orthopaedic Surgeon in this second…[Read more]

The subjects felt hotter and more uncomfortable, and they found indoor air quality was more difficult to accept. The subjects are acclimatized to hot environments and more tolerant to heat. Therefore, the results are applicable to the acclimated people living in hot-humid climate.

The policy enforcing visiting restriction during the COVID-19…[Read more]
