To determine effectiveness of proprioceptive training and conventional physical therapy in managing patients with adhesive capsulitis.

A pre-test post-test control group study was conducted at Rehman Medical Institute from June to December 2019. Thirty-eight patients, aged 30 to 60 years, with diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis for more than…[Read more]

These results suggest that G. lucidum can increase longevity by inducing autophagy and stress resistance.

E2F2 is a member of the E2F transcription factor family and has important but not fully understood biological functions in cancers. The biological role of E2F2 in gastric cancer (GC) also remains unclear.

We examined the expression…[Read more]

Population health management (PHM) is the holistic process of improving health outcomes of groups of individuals through the support of appropriate financial and care models. Radiologists’ presence at the intersection of many aspects of healthcare, including screening, diagnostic imaging, and image-guided therapies, provides significant…[Read more]

Accurate organ segmentation is a relatively challenging subject in medical imaging, especially for the pancreas, whose morphological characteristics are subtle but variable. In this paper, a novel dual adversarial convolutional network with multilevel cues (DACN-MC) is proposed to segment the pancreas in computerized tomography (CT). DACN-MC first…[Read more]

Because oceanographic changes predicted to occur due to climate change may result in reduced coastal krill availability, adversely affecting these seabird predators, further information on foraging zones and feeding behaviour of small procellariform species is needed to elucidate more fully the segregation of foraging niches, the capacity of…[Read more]

Corals are experiencing unprecedented decline from climate change-induced mass bleaching events. Dispersal not only contributes to coral reef persistence through demographic rescue but can also hinder or facilitate evolutionary adaptation. Locations of reefs that are likely to survive future warming therefore remain largely unknown, particularly…[Read more]

We investigated whether acute carbohydrate ingestion reduced arterial potassium concentration ([K

]) during and after intense exercise and delayed fatigue.

In a randomized, double-blind crossover design, eight males ingested 300ml water containing 75g glucose (CHO) or placebo (CON); rested for 60min, then performed high-intensity…[Read more]

Moreover, the ZnO-NPs supplement has also positive effects on photosynthesis related parameters, SPAD value (40%), chloroplast structure, and qualitatively high fluorescence observed by confocal microscopy even under Cd stress. ZnO-NPs also substantially prevented the increases of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) triggered by Cd.…[Read more]
