MS vs. NMS had decreased accuracy on CPT and MPT and efficiency during Stroop. No significant effects of cigarette type preference by menthol or nicotine were found for any task. Significant effects of nicotine by menthol were found during Stroop, where participants had greater accuracy for high nicotine compared to saline during the low menthol…[Lees meer]

812 vs. 0.736, p = 0.038; sensitivity 70.4% vs. 57.4%, p = 0.015; specificity 80.3% vs. 86.9%, p = 0.052). DL attention maps could visualize peritumoral high-risk areas with genuine histopathologic confirmation. Both DL models could stratify high and low-risk groups regarding progression free survival and overall survival (p less then 0.05). Thus,…[Lees meer]

However, the emergence of strain co-harboring plasmid-mediated resistance genes indicated that ECC is a potential carrier for the horizontal spread of carbapenems and colistin resistance.

This study suggested that there is no overlap between the resistance mechanism of co-resistant ECC strains to carbapenem and colistin. However, the emergence…[Lees meer]

The virulent clade I strains encoded two clusters of type IV secretion systems, while clade II and III strains encoded only one cluster. Clade I and II strains encoded one more VgrG/PAAR spike protein than clade III. Thus, we predicted that the presence of additional virulence-related genes may have enabled the unique clade I strain to become…[Lees meer]

With billions of phones in circulation, these devices might be responsible for the rise of community acquired infections. These pilot results highlight the importance of public health authorities considering mobile phones as ‘Trojan Horse’ devices for microbial transmission and ensure appropriate decontamination campaigns are implemented.Methods…[Lees meer]

lar performance to the likelihood ratio method.

A growing proportion of research has proved that microRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate the function of target genes and have close relations with various diseases. Developing computational methods to exploit more potential miRNA-disease associations can provide clues for further functional…[Lees meer]

These findings suggest that Fitts’ law metrics offer a reliable and objective way of measuring the progress of physical training or therapy.Campania, due to its pedo-climatic conditions and to its large varietal heritage, is able to produce oils with high typicity, each different from the other. In this study a “minor” autochthonous cultivar of…[Lees meer]

We studied the effect of conditioned media of GM-CSF-differentiated human macrophages polarized in M1(LPS), M2a(IL-4), M2c(dexamethasone), and M2(low serum) phenotypes on proliferation, differentiation, and collagen-producing activity of dermal fibroblasts. It was found that M1(LPS) and M2a(IL-4) were characterized by moderate influence on…[Lees meer]

Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the most commonly used disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs which can cause gastrointestinal side effects. MTX intolerance is defined as gastrointestinal and behavioral symptoms occurring before and after MTX administration. This study aims to evaluate and compare the frequency of methotrexate intolerance in adult…[Lees meer]
