The functionality and feasibility of the developed physiological monitoring system was demonstrated by the assisting robotic glove with an adaptive strategy for upper limb rehabilitation training improvement. The feasible results provided a novel technique to monitor individual ECG and EMG information holistically and practically, and a technical…[Read more]

Our data show that the solvent casting approach offers improved drug distribution within the polymeric matrix, as was observed from micro-computed topography and scanning electron microscopy visualization. Moreover, this approach shows a higher drug release rate and thus improved antibacterial efficacy. However, there were no differences among the…[Read more]

In summary, our study revealed that MNX1 exerted an oncogenic role in cervical cancer via repressing the transcription of p21cip1 and thus accelerating cell cycle progression. Our results suggested that MNX1 was a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for cervical cancer patients.Melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer. Human…[Read more]

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem, and an unfavorable lifestyle has been suggested as a modifiable risk factor for CKD. Selleck BI-D1870 Cigarette smoking is closely associated with cardiovascular disease and cancers; however, there is a lack of evidence to prove that smoking is harmful for…[Read more]

Surgical treatment was more frequently adopted for patients in a better clinical condition (

≤ 0.05).

More than two thirds of the patients (72.5%) reached a favorable outcome. There was no difference in age between the treatment modalities. Risks of complications are present and specific for both modalities.

It is well established that periodontal disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) can have a detrimental effect on each other’s disease course, and that cigarette smoking exacerbates both conditions. However, literature on the periodontal status of smokers with DM is scarce, and the studies conducted to date did not use healthy controls or…[Read more]

The SAIF is an effective and safe approach to reconstruct the pharyngocutaneous fistula after laryngopharyngeal surgery in patients with laryngopharyngeal cancer with previous radiotherapy, especially for those who have received high-dose radiation and have large fistula.We report a case of primary temporal bone diffuse B-cell non-Hodgkin…[Read more]

Rhodolith beds (RBs) are bioconstructions characterized by coralline algae, which provide habitat for several associated species. Mediterranean RBs are usually located in the mesophotic zone (below 40 m), and thus are frequently remote and unexplored. Recently, the importance and vulnerability of these habitats have been recognized by the European…[Read more]

As demand for genetic services grows, innovative genetic counseling service delivery models (SDMs) are needed. However, there is limited research on the barriers and needs of genetic counselors (GCs) interested in implementing new SDMs into their practice. In fall 2017, the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) Access and Service Delivery…[Read more]

05, respectively). CONCLUSION Deep learning reconstruction significantly improved the CNR of coronary arteries on HR-MRCA, resulting in both higher visual image quality and better vessel traceability compared with C-MRCA.ABSTRACTPeople living with HIV (PLWH) would decide whether to disclose their HIV serostatus to others based on the weight of…[Read more]

Salinization of soil is a global environmental concern. To bioremediate or use saline-alkali lands, most studies focused on screening of halophytes and breeding of saline-tolerant non-halophyte vegetables. Seldom studies investigated effects of salinity on general landscape plants, which are important for landscape construction in urban areas. In…[Read more]
