For the 1,2-polyols, there is a tenuous empirical relationship between the existence of a bond critical point for O─H… OH hydrogen bonding and the interaction energies of competing exchange channels, but the primary/secondary ratio is always less than unity. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.INTRODUCTION A student’s academic success in graduate and…[Read more]

Ambroxol (Ax) is used as a mucolytics in the treatment of respiratory tract infections. Ax, at a general dose for humans, does not alter Chlamydia pneumoniae growth in mice. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the potential anti-chlamydial effect of Ax at a concentration four timed higher than that used in human medicine. Mice were infected with C.…[Read more]

Background Data on hospital variation in 30-day readmission rates after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are limited. Further, whether such variation is explained by differences in hospital characteristics and hospital practice patterns remains unknown. Methods and Results We used the 2017 Nationwide Readmissions Database to identify…[Read more]

Prior research has indicated a varying relationship of food security and obesity risk between men and women yet factors affecting this relationship are unclear.

The objective of this study was to examine factors related to the gender disparity in the food insecurity-obesity paradox within a sample of low-income parents.

Low-income…[Read more]

We conclude that NMRT changes the miR profile and modulates the HDAC and the NAD(+)/NADH signaling in human chondrocytes. These findings underline once more that NMRT counteracts IL-1β induced changes by reducing catabolic effects, thereby decreasing inflammatory mechanisms under OA by changing NF-ĸB signaling.Sox proteins are known as crucial t…[Read more]

ors, thereby inhibiting inflammation. Naturally occurring luteolin holds promise as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agent.

Our study suggests that luteolin may transform BMDM polarity through p-STAT1/6 to regulate the expression of inflammatory mediators, thereby inhibiting inflammation. Naturally occurring luteolin holds promise as…[Read more]

It has been observed that Classical pathway can be activated via C1q binding to apoptotic cells in the liver and contributes to the development of hepatic inflammation. C3 contributes to the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver and in adipose tissue, while C5 seems to be involved with inflammation and liver injury after chronic ethanol…[Read more]

Warming observed in moderate climate conditions of northern wine regions in central Europe (Slovakia) has not yet caused changes in the grapevine phenology stable enough to require serious adaptation measures.Sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) has attracted enormous interests due to its wide applications in the Internet of Things (IoT),…[Read more]

Streptococcus agalactiae, a species of β-haemolytic streptococcus belonging to Lancefield’s group B (GBS), is known as a common infecting agent transmitted to infants during childbirth, causing sepsis, meningitis, or both, with a high incidence of mortality. Following the observation of a great variability between regional laboratories both in…[Read more]

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of cataract surgery in patients with chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

A retrospective review was performed on 77 eyes of 42 patients with chronic ocular GVHD that underwent cataract surgery between January 2014 and February 2020 in a tertiary institution.

Posterior…[Read more]

Considering the tolerable upper intake level of studied elements, the tested products could be regarded as safe to consume.

All tested products can be recommended as a source of Cu, Mn, and Se, while a majority of studied products can be considered a source of Mg and Zn in the diet of the adult European population.

All tested products…[Read more]

The value of measurement errors and total harmonic distortion (THD) have been calculated. The general conclusions for disturbances in the processing realized in polarimetric current sensor have been formulated. In addition, the impact of the molar concentration of the dopant GeO2 in the core of the single mode telecommunication optical fibers and…[Read more]

Ways of improvement for TcPO2 performance applied to the optimization of the amputation-level are reported herein. Further prospective data are needed to better approach a TcPO2 value that will promise an acceptable risk of re-amputation. Standardized TcPO2 measurement is crucial to ensure quality of data.The potential of first-void (FV) urine as…[Read more]
