Thus, the biodegradation of these reactive azo dyes was found to be a suitable alternative for the effective treatment of textile dyes.This study tests for measurement invariance of impulsivity assessed by the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) across Black and White adults with cocaine use disorder and examines the association of BIS…[Read more]

Background and study aims  Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) are now widely used even for patients with borderline resectable (BR) pancreatic cancer (PC), as neoadjuvant therapy has become common. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate safety of SEMS placement in the population including BR PC and to explore risk factors for r…[Read more]

Disorders of sex development (DSD) are congenital conditions with atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex. The estimated incidence ranges from 1 in 4,500-5,500 for strictly defined “ambiguous genitalia” to 1 in 300 or higher when a broader definition is implemented. In this study, we aim to define DSD phenotypes encountered…[Read more]

Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites that have a significant impact on their animal hosts. Along with mosquitoes, they are the main arthropod vectors of disease agents in domestic animals, wildlife and humans. check details To investigate the occurrence and prevalence of piroplasmids in ticks, DNA was extracted from 519 hard ticks collected from…[Read more]

COVID-19 provides a once in a generation opportunity to create a kinder, fairer society. Early signs are not good Pub re-opening prioritised over school re-opening; no significant investment in children’s services or women’s health, a significant determinant of children’s welfare. We highlight the way COVID-19 has, and continues, to harm children…[Read more]

Severe motor delay was more common among infants exposed to general anesthesia (aOR 1.98, 95% CI 1.06 to 3.69). Infants exposed to general anesthesia had longer neonatal intensive care stays (51 vs 37 days, P=0.010).

General anesthesia for cesarean delivery was not associated with overall neurodevelopmental delay at two years of age, e…[Read more]

Initial management of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important, and includes treatment decision-making and prediction of prognosis. We examined whether biomarkers at admission could be useful prognostic predictors. We focused on electrolytes and blood glucose, which can be measured easily at any facility and for which the results can be…[Read more]

e nomogram based on the fusion radiomics signature can be easily used for CK19 stratification of HCC.OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop a tool for the classification of masses in breast MRI, based on ultrafast TWIST-VIBE Dixon (TVD) dynamic sequences combined with DWI. TVD sequences allow to abbreviate breast MRI protocols, but provide kinetic…[Read more]

Background The benefits of patient-focused pharmaceutical care in improving clinical outcomes and reducing health expenditure have been well documented. However, these services are not fully implemented in many developing countries like China, especially in the community setting at chain pharmacies. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire-based…[Read more]

7%) died from liver abscess postoperatively. During a median follow-up of 18.9 months, 15 patients (55.6%) developed locally recurrent disease; two patients (7.4%) also had pulmonary metastases additionally. Twelve patients (44.4%) died from local relapse eventually.

PD during RPS resection is feasible, and it may be necessary to achieve…[Read more]

thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication and traditional open surgery can effectively treat congenital diaphragmatic eventration, but compared with open surgery, thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication has the advantages of a short operation time, less trauma, and a rapid recovery. Thus, thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication should be the first choice…[Read more]
