BACKGROUND National cancer strategy calls for comprehensive assessments for older people but current practice across the United Kingdom is not well described. AIM To identify current assessment methods and access to relevant supporting services for older people with cancer. METHODS A web-based survey (SurveyMonkey) targeting health professionals…[Read more]

69-0.97]). Conclusions Among postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes, higher levels of stressful life events were associated with higher risk of CHD. Experience of stressful life events might be considered as a risk factor for CHD among women with type 2 diabetes.Introduction A clinical prediction rule (CPR) using psychosocial questions was…[Read more]

14% (CI 99.07-99.17). Sensitivity of the Toxo IgM prototype assay was 100% (CI 87.66-100.00) and specificity was 99.64% (98.96-99.93). In acute maternal infections, IgM assays were detected as early with the prototype as with the other two. In the congenitally infected children, IgM were detected on their first sample in 25/40 with the prototype…[Read more]

Lignin is a poly-aromatic polymer contained in the plant cell wall, and it is considered the most abundant non-carbohydrate polymer on Earth. The aromaticity and richness of its functional groups render lignin an attractive starting biomacromolecule for conversion into a variety of value-added products. The development of successful strategies for…[Read more]

Replication, virus excretion and bird-to-bird transmission of H4N2 was remarkably compromised by the CS mutations, but restored after reassortment with HPAIV H5N1, although not with HPAIV H7N7. Viruses carrying the H4-HA with or without R327 or K327 mutations and the other seven gene segments from HPAIV H5N1 exhibited high virulence and efficient…[Read more]

5 kyr. The presence of geographically structured clades in north, center, and south sections of the species range signifies the disjunct populations that have emerged in three different refugium. This study illustrates the importance of the effect of previous glacial cycles in shaping the genetic structure of mountain species in the Zagros range.…[Read more]

A relatively common polymorphism in the human brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene (Val66Met, which corresponds to Val68Met in mice) has been shown to modulate cognitive function and vulnerability to mental health disorders. This substitution impairs trafficking and activity-dependent release of BDNF. A number of studies with both humans…[Read more]

The capability of graphene-based biosensors used to detect biomolecules, such as DNA and cancer marker, is enormously affected by the quality of graphene. In this work, high quality and cleanness graphene were obtained by CVD based on acetic acid (AA) and ammonium persulfate (AP) pretreated copper foil substrate. Hall effect devices were made by…[Read more]

We discuss whether strains with increased virulence play a role in recent EFB outbreaks.MicroRNAs are regulators of gene expressionand may be key markers in liquid biopsy.Early diagnosis is an effective means to increase patients’ overall survival. We generated genome-wide miRNA profiles from serum of patients and controls from the…[Read more]

Objective This study investigates the effect of cognitive overload on assembly task performance and muscle activity. Background Understanding an operator’s cognitive workload is an important component in assessing human-machine interaction. However, little evidence is available on the effect that cognitive overload has on task performance and…[Read more]

The incidence of pain in the group that received the classical incision (A) was 20% (n=4) and in group B was 35% (n=7). CONCLUSIONS We found a higher rate of post-craniectomy headache in patients who underwent a “modified Dandy” incision. These are preliminary data of an undergoing study and we hope to obtain more representative information in the…[Read more]

A positive association between structural organization of the right SLF and subsequent decoding skills was found to be specific to at-risk children and not observed among typical controls. Among at-risk children, several kindergarten-age factors were found to significantly contribute to the prediction of subsequent decoding skills white matter…[Read more]

A higher monocyte count (> median) at day + 90 was also associated with better OS, DFS, and GRFS. Donor/recipient CMV status matching was independently associated with GRFS. In conclusion, our data support the fact that there is no need to manipulate the graft before infusion in the particular context of PBSC/PTCY Baltimore-based all…[Read more]

© 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Decellularized corneal scaffolds have the potential to be used as alternatives to donor corneas during keratoplasty. Here a decellularization technique is described that involves the use of sodium dodecyl sulfate, Triton-X100, DNAse and RNAse to remove cells and cellular constituents. We have previously…[Read more]
