toxic activity of pure TiO2 and PLAL synthesized copper oxide-titanium dioxide nanocomposites against normal and healthy cells (HEK-293) and cancerous cells (HCT-116) were also evaluated by MTT assay. The MTT assay results showed no cytotoxic effects on HEK-293 cells, which suggest TiO2 and PLAL synthesized copper oxide-titanium dioxide…[Lees meer]

BACKGROUND Fish is an essential source of nutrients for human nutrition due to the composition of proteins, vitamins, minerals, among other nutrients. Enzymatic hydrolysis represents an alternative for the use of by-products of the aquaculture industry. OBJECTIVE We propose to evaluate the effect of stirring speed, temperature, and initial protein…[Lees meer]

Context.— Continuing education improves the quality of medical care and is a required part of most health care professions. Although a variety of educational modules are available online or at external conferences, completion of these activities can be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, externally produced modules may have limited a…[Lees meer]

INTRODUCTION Estimation of residual apixaban plasma concentrations may be requested in the management of emergencies. This study aims at assessing the performance of specific anti-Xa assays calibrated with apixaban on real-life samples with low apixaban plasma concentrations ( less then 30 ng/mL) and on-treatment ranges, with and without…[Lees meer]

The data suggest that Qβ VLPs is an excellent approach to elicit high-titer CHIKV E2-protein antibodies at a lower dose of antigen and future studies should assess whether Qβ-CHIKV E2 aa 2800-2818 VLPs and Qβ-CHIKV E2 aa 3025-3058 VLPs can neutralize a Singapore Strain of CHIKV. Determination of influenza-specific antibody titers is commonly do…[Lees meer]

697, with statistical significance (P = 0.000, P  less then  0.01). CONCLUSION it can be concluded that in clinical pregnancy, for many related factors, regression equation can be used to establish a prediction model to diagnose the success rate of pregnancy. In conclusion, a prediction model can be built based on the relevant experimental…[Lees meer]

The fast estimation of blue-green laser transmission characteristics through the fluctuating sea surface, such as refraction angles and transmittance, is very important to correct operating parameters, detection depth and anti-detection warning in airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) applications. However, the geometry of the sea surface…[Lees meer]

Delayed methotrexate (MTX) elimination after treatment with high-dose (HD) MTX may result in life-threatening toxicities as well as acute kidney injury. Treatment includes administration of glucarpidase, an enzyme that rapidly inactivates MTX. Dosing of glucarpidase is based on body weight; however, recommendations for dosage adjustments in obese…[Lees meer]
