Currently no ideal alternative exists for heparin for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor for which a reversal agent exists. The primary end point of the study was to explore whether Dabigatran was an effective anticoagulant for 120 minutes of simulated CPB. The study was designed in 2 sequential steps. Throughout, human blood from healthy donors was used for...
8). For questionnaire formats, paper had the highest RR at 86%±19.4, a mix of electronic and paper had the second highest at 71%±15.1 and the electronic-only format had a substantially lower RR at 42%±8.7. Sending one reminder (82%±16.5) or more than one reminder (76%±20.9) to non-responders resulted in a higher RR than sending no reminders (39%±6.7)....
Hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are known to cause liver abscesses and other metastatic infections. Being Asian and having diabetes are known host risk factors. Here we present an unusual case of a Filipino ballet dancer-choreographer with diabetes presenting with bilateral leg pains initially thought to be cellulitis, but was eventually diagnosed as bilateral subcutaneous leg...
The present work analyses some particular aspects of Oswaldo Cruz's unique biography, valuing his work, which was built along a successful physician and scientist professional trajectory and also as a courageous and fortunate formulator of public health policies and of fight strategies against the epidemics that seasonally affected the city of Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 20th...
The advanced rechargeable batteries have been upgraded by the production of free-standing electrodes through electrospinning technology. This study aimed to introduce a novel hybrid composition to design a free-standing carbon nanofiber (CNF) based anode by the addition of iron acetylacetonate Fe(AcAc)3 as active material and TEOS(tetraethoxysilane)/APTES(aminopropyl triethoxysilane) as an...
Multimodal analgesic (MMA) injections combined with corticosteroids have recently been shown to be effective for managing pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of corticosteroid injections on the integrity of tendon repairs using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The hypothesis was that MMA injections combined with corticosteroids have no...
To investigate the frequency and factors associated with inadequate self-care behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 355 patients with T2DM, using multistage cluster sampling, attending the Najran UniversityHospital and Primary health care centres in Najran, Saudi Arabia, from January to May 2019. The assessment of...
19% vs. 41.39%; P less then 0.0001). As for PDAC tissues, CD10 was correlated with immune cells infiltration and was expressed by a subset of TAMs. For THP-1 cells, PMA could induce CD10 expression through the MAPK pathway. The Kaplan-Meier plotter results suggested that CD10 expression had an impact on the prognosis of PDAC. CONCLUSIONS In this study we demonstrated that CD10...
The current study explored the accuracy of consensual moral stereotypes that women and men hold about each other, as well as whether the gender differences in morality found in previous literature replicate on a sample of Pakistani individuals. A sample of 300 was used with an equal number of men and women. Data from 50 of the respondents was collected online, whereas the rest was collected in...
Presented here are two titanium-based metal-organic frameworks (Ti-MOFs) based on well-defined [Ti6Cu6(μ3-O)2(μ2-O)9(HSO4)2(SO4)6], which can be easily obtained from a cheap Ti source and CuSO4 and exhibited interesting magnetic properties. Furthermore, this clusters can be isolated in pure phase. Numerous uncoordinated sites of SO4 and labile ligands on the Ti and Cu centers of this...
