The changes in brush properties are tunable and become more pronounced when more PMAA is bound. The initial brush state is fully recovered when releasing PMAA by returning to physiological pH. Our findings are relevant for many applications involving functional interfaces, such as capture-release of biomolecules.Acrylamide, a food processing…[Read more]

River sediments generally act as a sink for trace elements but, when resuspended, they contribute to long-term downstream transport of contamination, which may finally reach the marine environment. This study analyzed these processes in a complex aquatic system that includes a contaminated tributary, the Lambro River (Northern Italy) and its…[Read more]

This instrument provides a versatile platform for in situ investigation of surface reactions, without external support structures and under controlled pressure and radiation conditions, relevant to various disciplines such as materials science, astrochemistry, and molecular biology.Two new phosphine ligands, diphenylmethylphosphine (DPMP) and…[Read more]

Introduction Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a widely used patient-reported outcome measure designed for patients with knee osteoarthritis.Purpose To evaluate responsiveness and determine minimal important change (MIC) for Persian-version of KOOS in patients with knee osteoarthritis following physiotherapy…[Read more]

This patient may extend the LTBP2-related phenotype with resulting diagnostic implications.

Botswana has a high pregnancy rate among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). Long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) use among AGYW in Botswana is low, despite its high effectiveness for preventing pregnancy. Using an implementation science…[Read more]

For elderly COVID-19 patients, antiviral therapy, immune regulation, and even auxiliary respiratory therapy can be given after a comprehensive evaluation of the disease. With the approval and use of COVID-19 vaccines, it is reasonable to expect that we can conquer SARS-CoV-2.BACKGROUND Hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN) is…[Read more]

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most prevalent hereditary kidney disorder. Liver cysts are the most common extrarenal manifestation of the disease and usually remain asymptomatic. Liver cyst infection is rare, and its treatment is challenging. Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative therapeutic option in…[Read more]

This article seeks to clarify and define the concept of tremors.

The Walker & Avant (2005) concept analysis method was followed.

A search of PubMed, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, ERIC, Google and Google Scholar was performed.

Through this process, uses of the concept were…[Read more]

7-fold according to field gamma-spectrometry data which corresponded to the radionuclide contamination density of the top 20-cm layer of the soil containing 96-99% of the total radionuclide amount (correlation between the parameters equaled to r0.01 = 0.782, n = 20). A specifically regular structure obviously formed under the set of radionu…[Read more]

005). The completion rate in the diving group was significantly higher (92.19% vs 76.32%, respectively; P= .012). The GTT, SBTT, and lesion detection rate were similar in 2 groups (P= .282, .067, and .577, respectively). No discomfort or adverse events were reported except for a few cases of frequent urination.

The diving method for VCE…[Read more]

Traditional methods of treatment planning and plan evaluation involve the use of generic dose-constraints. We aimed to build a web-based application to generate individualized dose-constraints and plan evaluation against a library of prior approved plan dose-volume histograms (DVH).A prototype was built for intensity modulated radiation therapy…[Read more]

ups with a median occurrence of 1 (interquartile range, 0-4) for both (P=.7). The number of opioid discharge prescriptions among those receiving inpatient opioids was significantly lower in the postintervention group than in the preintervention group (18% vs 38%, respectively), a 53% decrease (P<.001).

Removal of opioids from the…[Read more]
