The antimicrobial triclosan (TCS) is a pervasive and persistent environmental micropollutant which can contaminate land, biota, and water through the land application of biosolids. Many existing sludge management techniques have limited effectiveness against TCS and TCS metabolites including triclosan-sulfate (TCS-SO4). The objective of this study…[Read more]

Regarding ultrasound measurements, BCP was able to significantly ameliorate the posterior disk space (P<0.05) and decreased disk density more than the other groups of the study. Signs/symptoms and mobility were improved with BCP (P<0.05), while rescue medications decreased. The loss of working days was reduced with all managements (significantly…[Read more]

Central corneal thickness (CCT) is a key indicator of the corneal health status and is therefore of clinical importance. The aim of the present study was to determine the agreement between Scheimpflug photography (SP) and optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR) systems in measuring the CCT in children.

In this cross-sectional study, the…[Read more]

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a widespread endocrine disrupting chemical that constitutes a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Data from animal and human studies have demonstrated that early exposure to BPA results in adverse metabolic outcomes in adult life. In the present work, we exposed pregnant heterozygous estrogen receptor β (ERβ) k…[Read more]

The quality of the set of evidence was considered medium due to the presence of different methodological problems, risk of bias, and significant heterogeneity in the evaluated studies. There was a sufficient body of evidence that justified autotransplantation in patients who needed orthodontic movement. In teeth, there was an increase in root…[Read more]

In this paper, we present a proposal of healthcare network modeling for ES treatment in a regional setting.Sudden cardiac death is defined as a natural death due to termination of cardiac activity associated with loss of consciousness, spontaneous breathing and circulation. Nowadays, the prevention of sudden cardiac death represents a major issue…[Read more]

Lesions were missed mostly due to small metastases or adjacent bladder/urine uptake.

The DL-Caf formulation tested was able to improve the permeation of caffeine through the stratum corneum and dermo-epidermal layers, suggesting that this delivery system may be effective for deep skin delivery of hydrophilic drugs.Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is one kind of persistent organic pollutants that is often detected in…[Read more]

Conclusion Our empirical study shows that the BIS includes a well-founded harm threshold combined with contextual information based on SD-M. We propose reconciling BIS and SD-M within the SOA as we believe this will improve paediatric decision-making. What is Known • Parents have wide discretion in deciding for their child in everyday life, w…[Read more]

Chemotherapy and immunotherapy yield survival benefits for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients, in which tumor microenvironment has been found to exert crucial roles through tipping the balance between antitumor immunity and immune evasion. Our study aims to explore the clinical significance and therapeutic role of intratumoral…[Read more]

The unilateral GPA pedicled flap is a useful technique suitable for the reconstruction of anterior-most perforations that are difficult to cover with other endonasal techniques.
