tertile 1; HR 0·83; 95 % CI 0·64, 1·07) and all-cause mortality. In summary, higher DFI was associated with lower CVD mortality risk among Chinese MHD patients. This study emphasises the significance of DFI in MHD patients and provides information that is critical for the improvement of dietary guidelines for dialysis patients.Chronic in…[Read more]

Following the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Canadian healthcare providers were advised or mandated by their regulatory bodies to cease all routine and elective care and only provide emergent/urgent care in March 2020. Two months later, the provincial/territorial governments initiated plans to “re-open” their…[Read more]

Of the more than 100 casbane diterpenes known to date, only the eponymous parent hydrocarbon casbene itself has ever been targeted by chemical synthesis. Outlined herein is a conceptually new approach that brings not a single but a variety of casbane derivatives into reach, especially the more highly oxygenated and arguably more relevant members…[Read more]

Increasing the efficiency of the biogas production process is possible by modifying the technological installations of the biogas plant. In this study, specific solutions based on a mathematical model that lead to favorable results were proposed. Three configurations were considered classical…[Read more]

6 mg/L was the lowest dose resulting in nitrification inhibition. Fast recovery of COD removal and nitrification was observed when direct addition of H2O2 and PAA solution ended. Cell viability measurements revealed that the negative impact on nitrification was predominantly attributed to enzyme inhibition rather than to loss of cell viability.…[Read more]

The results obtained in this study suggest that for a definitive diagnosis, combinations of the results from various diagnostics techniques can only be considered.

Berry syndrome, a rare combination of cardiac anomalies, consists of aortopulmonary window (APW); aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery; interrupted aortic arch (IAA) or hypoplastic…[Read more]

The results of this study suggest the presence of sepsis-related immunodeficiency in severe COVID-19 pneumonia with superinfection. Furthermore, our findings indicate that lymphocytopenia in COVID-19 is accompanied by B cell depletion in hematopoietic tissue, which might impede the durability of the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2.

Adjusted logistic regression models showed an odds ratio of 1.37 ± 0.19 (CI 1.05, 1.80; p=.022) for the association of ALI-5 with perceived stress. This association was stronger in females (OR = 1.62 ± 0.28, CI 1.15, 2.28; p = .006) and did not significantly differ between age clusters. Results for the original ALI-10 score did not reach signifi…[Read more]

SDMT had a balanced sensitivity, while CVLT-II and BVMT-R had higher specificities than sensitivities at detecting CI. More specifically, BVMT-R showed 100% specificity for all CI definitions. Raw cut-off scores for BICAMS tests are also provided within the manuscript, along with the diagnostic calculations.

In this study, we confirmed…[Read more]

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory event characterized by stiffness and thickening of the vascular walls. In our daily practice, we assume the atherosclerotic potential of the patient by following the total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride levels (lipid panel). We aimed to…[Read more]

We observed that both IO1 and IO2 increased the expression of eNOS and iNOS significantly compared with the control. Furthermore, when compared with the control, IO1 increased PDE5 expression significantly, while IO2 showed no effect. The different impacts on PDE5 might be the reason that IO2, not IO1, showed significant inducible effect on cGMP…[Read more]
