Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous drinking water contaminants of concern due to mounting evidence implicating adverse health outcomes associated with exposure, including reduced kidney function, metabolic syndrome, thyroid disruption, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. PFAS have been produced in the U.S. since the 1940s and…[Read more]

The hazard for technical complications and implant loss peaked at 0.7years and 0.2years, respectively, while the hazard for peri-implantitis was consistent throughout the observation period. The overall proportion of satisfied patients at 9years was high (95%), and only minor differences between individuals with and without complications were…[Read more]

To report our experience with a noneverted stoma technique used in ileal conduit urinary diversion. We successfully utilize this technique in patients when traditional everted stoma maturation is difficult due to a thick abdominal wall, bulky mesentery, and poor bowel compliance.

We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent…[Read more]

The results suggested that the synthesized MgO-biochar with enough MgO active site dispersed on a higher external surface can be used as a potential adsorbent for phosphate removal and recovery from aqueous solution. Biphenyl 2,3-dioxygenase (BphA), a Rieske-type and first enzyme in the aerobic degradation process, plays a key role in the…[Read more]

Our data suggested the absence of immune-escaped ASFV variants circulating among free-ranging pigs, indicating that other elements contributed to virus circulation among these animals. Understanding factors behind disease persistence in endemic settings might contribute to developing effective countermeasures against this disease.Propolis (PR) is…[Read more]

and anterior vaginal wall prolapse stage ≥ 3 had a higher risk of presenting de novo SUI.

The incidence of de novo SUI after the surgical correction of anterior vaginal wall prolapse with synthetic mesh in this population was 15.8 % and 20.5 % at 3 and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. Continent women who underwent this surgical procedure a…[Read more]

Herein we report the design and synthesis of a new series of phthalazine derivatives as Topo II inhibitors and DNA intercalators. The synthesized compounds were in vitro evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HepG-2, MCF-7 and HCT-116 cell lines. Additionally, Topo II inhibitory activity and DNA intercalating affinity were investigated…[Read more]

In situ quantitative measurements of neurotransmitter activities can provide useful insights into the underlying mechanisms of stem cell differentiation, the formation of neuronal networks, and neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, neurotransmitter detection methods suffer from poor spatial resolution, nonspecific detection, and a lack of in situ…[Read more]

In this study we investigated the mitigating effects of Liriope platyphylla Wang et Tang extract on behavioral sensitization and the quantification of its major compounds. The extract of L. platyphylla reduces the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) protein, which is increased by nicotine, back to normal levels, and increases the expression of…[Read more]
