BACKGROUND Although supervised exercise therapy (SET) is effective in improving walking distance among adults with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD), some research suggests that individuals with comorbid PAD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may experience a blunted response to SET. It is unknown whether free-living sedentary time…[Read more]

Height is one of the most sensitive indicators of well-being because it combines the external influences of nutrition, economic wealth, health care, social equality, and other important socio-economic factors. The aim of this ecological study was to compare actual values of male and female height from 152 populations (except sub-Saharan Africa)…[Read more]

Results The MAR in the sepsis group was significantly lower than that seen in the healthy group (P less then 0.05 for all inducers). The MAR of patients with sepsis was negatively correlated with their Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores. N-acetylcysteine In the sepsis group, the MAR of non-survivors was significantly lower than that…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Physical exercise is a potential intervention to revert or attenuate frailty syndrome, which may be accomplished by a traditional center-based and home-based programs. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a home-based and center-based exercise program on frailty status, physical and muscle function of frailty older…[Read more]

By avoiding animal transportation, mobile slaughter may have the potential to reduce animal stress. In a cross-sectional study with elements of cohort design, we investigated relationships between animal handling and stress-related animal behaviours in connection with slaughter at two Swedish slaughter plants a newly started small-scale on-farm…[Read more]

The fabricated hemp/PVA films exhibit stronger UV-shielding, in the UVA-I range (340-400 nm) than TiO2/PVA films. The composite films also showed comparable water vapor permeability (WVP) with commercial packaging plastic film made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene). The optimization experiments were reported, with aim at understanding the…[Read more]

The theranostic capability of MNS-GOx was evaluated on A375 tumor-bearing mice with all tumor elimination. Our findings integrated molecular imaging and starvation-based synergistic cancer therapy, which provided a new platform for cancer nanotheranostics. © The author(s).Luminal androgen receptor (LAR) breast cancer accounts for 10% of all…[Read more]

Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to monitor the infrared absorption spectra of 79 mushroom samples from 29 Pleurotus ostreatus, P. eryngii and P. nebrodensis strains cultivated on wheat straw, grape marc and/or by-products of the olive industry. The spectroscopic analysis provided a chemical…[Read more]

Fanconi anemia includes a number of clinically and genetically diverse disorders all of them being associated with genomic instability. Some previous studies reported higher frequencies of certain HLA alleles in patients with Fanconi anemia. In the current study, we genotyped HLA-A/B/DRB1 alleles in 40 Iranian patients with Fanconi anemia. We also…[Read more]

Our objective was to assess the enterotoxigenic potential of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolated from bovine milk in Poland. We analyzed CNS isolates collected from 133 bovine milk batches from dairy farms in the Western Pomerania district during 2 milking seasons. A total of 163 isolates were screened by multiplex/duplex PCR for the…[Read more]
