Finally, we showed the differences in the “last mile” GHG footprint of traditional shopping in the U.K. compared to three other countries (China, Netherlands, and the United States), which are primarily caused by the different shares of modes of transport (walking and by car, bus, and bike).The development of strain sensors with high sensitivity…[Read more]

Liposomal doxorubicin (L-DOX) is a popular drug formulation for the treatment of several cancer types (e.g., recurrent ovarian cancer, metastatic breast cancer, multiple myeloma, etc.), but poor nuclear internalization has hampered its clinical applicability so far. Therefore, novel drug-delivery nanosystems are actively researched in cancer…[Read more]

wly diagnosed COVID-19 cases and “tosse” (cough; r=0.65; p=0.008) or “febbre” (fever; 0.69; p=0.004) become statistically significant with a 3-week delay. All symptoms were also significantly inter-correlated. Conclusions; Continuously monitoring the volume of Google searches and mapping their origin can be a potentially valuable instrument to…[Read more]

Although cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is treatable in the majority of cases, deadly invasive and metastatic cases do occur. To date there are neither reliable predictive biomarkers of disease progression nor FDA-approved targeted therapies as standard of care. To address these issues, we screened patient-derived primary cultured cells…[Read more]

Incomplete understanding of the root canal system leads to endodontic failure. Missed canal was the fourth most common endodontic failure, which needed retreatment. There were a few studies on internal morphology of posterior teeth of Myanmar population. However, there was no report on root canal anatomy of anterior teeth. So, the aim of the in…[Read more]

5% v 9.4%). Of 407332 incompletely vaccinated people aged 10 to less than 20 years, 71502 (17.6%) received catch-up MMR2 during the first two years of “No jab, no pay”, increasing overall coverage for this age group from 86.6% to 89.0%. MMR2 catch-up activity in this age group was greater in the lowest socio-economic status areas than in the…[Read more]

A few months ago, the Bioscience Reports journal showed that growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) rs143383 genetic polymorphism increases the susceptibility of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but previous studies’ results have debates about available data. Considering the availability of more recent data, we focus on clarifying the relationship of…[Read more]

Malaria is one of the most critical diseases causing about 219 million cases worldwide in developing countries. The spread and development of resistance against chemical antimalarial drugs is one of the major problems associated with malaria control. The present study was to investigate the antimalarial efficacy of ethyl acetate extract and one…[Read more]

ber (25°C, 16-h light and 8-h dark period). Leaf spot symptoms developed on the inoculated plants about 10 days post inoculation while all control plants remained healthy. The similar isolates were re-isolated from the inoculated and infected leaves and identified as A. alternata by DNA sequencing, fulfilling Koch’s postulates. It has been…[Read more]
