To retrospectively evaluate the clinical and immunological characteristics of patients who died of COVID-19 and to identify patients at high risk of death at an early stage and reduce their mortality.

Total white blood cell count, neutrophil count and C-reactive protein were significantly higher in patients who died of COVID-19 than those…[Read more]

Worldwide 50% of soil is acidic, which induces aluminum (Al) toxicity in plants; as the phyto-availability of Al3+ increases in acidic soil. Plants responds to Al3+ toxicity by exuding organic acids into the rhizosphere. Organic acid responsible for Al3+ stress response varies from species to species, which in case of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) is…[Read more]

Protein oxidation is considered as an important factor affecting the texture quality of surimi. In this work, the myofibrillar protein (MP) from shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) was subjected to a hydroxyl radical generating system at various concentrations of H2O2, to simulate the oxidative environment during surimi processing. After the hydroxyl…[Read more]

Importantly, this specific cortical circuit is different from those that relate to the cognitive aspects of language production (e.g., Broca’s area on the inferior frontal gyrus).Vaccination is considered to be one of the greatest public health achievements in the 20th century. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has triggered a worldwide…[Read more]

Cushing’s disease (CD) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by chronic exposure to hypercortisolism due to an adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma. The adverse effects of chronic exposure to hypercortisolism on the human brain remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of cerebral microbleeds…[Read more]

e., less heterogeneity, no superspreading events), that difference disappeared. These results suggest that overdispersion of COVID-19 transmission gives the virus an Achilles’ heel Reducing contacts between people who do not regularly meet would substantially reduce the pandemic, while reducing repeated contacts in defined social groups would be…[Read more]

The analysis of the contour plots revealed that even these four materials showed a fluorescence excess for the excitation wavelengths below about 400 nm and a deficit above this wavelength.

None of the materials analyzed in this study were able to reproduce the natural fluorescence spectrum of the enamel-dentin specimens.

Unlike t…[Read more]

Children with E-ALT and MIS-C were more often boys (P=.001), Hispanic (P=.04), or Black (P<.001). In MIS-C, male gender (OR 5.3, P=.02) and Black race (OR 4.4, P=.04) were associated with increased odds of E-ALT. Children with E-ALT in both cohorts had significantly higher multiorgan dysfunction, longer hospitalization, and ICU stay. Children with…[Read more]

Nevertheless, these aspects have not been frequently and directly evaluated in studies. This review article is focused on analysis of the current knowledge about the role of osteoblast dysregulation occurring in rheumatoid arthritis a better knowledge of these mechanisms could contribute to the realization of new therapeutic strategies.…[Read more]

LGOX R305E is a thermostable and pH stable enzyme. The amount of hydrogen peroxide, which is a byproduct of oxidative deamination of l-arginine by LGOX R305E, is proportional to the concentration of l-arginine in a range from 0 to 100 μM. The linear relationship is maintained around 1 μM of l-arginine. Thus, LGOX R305E is suitable for the det…[Read more]

Logistic regression showed that combination of plaque index (PI), RSH, RSV, RSpH and SSM provided accurate association (permanent teeth 92.1%, primary teeth 100%) of caries status and PI plus BCSS provided accurate association (permanent teeth 92.1%, primary teeth 93%) of gingival health status.

This study has suggested that combination of…[Read more]
