INTRODUCTION The efficiency of extracorporeal shock waves (SW) for Peyronie’s disease (PD) is controversial. METHODS A systematic review of the literature published between 2000 and 2019 was conducted using the PRISMA methodology. We used Medline data with the following. RESULTS Thirteen articles were selected. Our review showed that SW were…[Read more]

Successful excystation of sporulated Eimeria spp. oocysts is an important step to acquire large numbers of viable sporozoites for molecular, biochemical, immunological and in vitro experiments for detailed studies on complex host cell-parasite interactions. An improved method for excystation of sporulated oocysts and collection of infective E.…[Read more]

OBJECTIVE Presbyopia is the gradual inability to focus near objects with age. This study explores patients’ attitudes and beliefs towards presbyopia including preferred modes of near refractive correction. METHODS In the United Kingdom, twenty-four volunteers completed an online questionnaire and attended a structured, recorded focus group.…[Read more]

Making decisions on how best to treat cancer patients requires the integration of different data sets, including genomic profiles, tumour histopathology, radiological images, proteomic analysis and more. This wealth of biological information calls for novel strategies to integrate such information in a meaningful, predictive and experimentally…[Read more]

Two groups of grouted sleeve splices for steel profile were tested to investigate their tensile behavior, serving as pilot studies for novel prefabricated reinforced concrete shear wall structures. In the first group, four splice specimens with different embedded lengths of steel profile were monotonic tensile loaded to determine an appropriate…[Read more]

In addition, a loss-of-function experiment demonstrated that lnc-TSPAN12 knockdown inhibited HCC cell migration and invasion in vitro. Our findings suggest that lnc-TSPAN12 may function as an oncogene in HCC progression and could serve as a novel diagnostic/prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for HCC with MVI. Essential oil…[Read more]
