The objective of this study was to investigate whether dietary bile acid (BA) supplementation affects production performance and improves eggshell quality in late-laying hens by transcriptionally upregulating shell gland...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a highly pathogenic Gram-negative microorganism associated with high mortality levels in burned or immunosuppressed patients or individuals affected by cystic fibrosis. Studies support a coloniz...

This study aimed to characterize an oligosaccharide derived from the edible plant Polygonatum odoratum and to evaluate its effects on intestinal barrier integrity and inflammatory responses in colitis using in vitro and ...

Abstract Physical frailty may weaken structural brain integrity (SBI), which may lead to cognitive impairments. In this cross-sectional study, the number of final study participants was 2057 (700 men, 1357 women). The pr...

High levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may trigger oxidative stress that harms the structural integrity of the sperm cell membrane. Concerning this case, ethanol extract from the alang-alang (Imperata cylindrica) r...

During the conference entitled Spatial Econometrics and Regional Economic Analyses, which took place in Lodz in 2014, there was a proposition to introduce the spatial coherence property into the Ward method, which is app...

Purpose. The purpose of this research was to measure lens posterior cortex thickness and compare it between Chornobyl ex-clean-up workers and healthy individuals to determine whether Chornobyl ex-clean-up workers have a ...

Abstract Background SPTBN1 encodes βII-spectrin, a cytoskeletal protein essential for neuronal structure and function. Pathogenic variants in this gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder known as DDISBA (Developmental ...

Abstract Multiciliated cells generate numerous centrioles to support motile cilia essential for fluid flow. This process was thought to rely on the deuterosome, a DEUP1-dependent structure. Here, we show that DEUP1 plays...

Credible election has become a critical requirement for democracy and good governance. The safety of the environment in which the election is conducted is also necessary for acceptability of the outcome of the election. ...

Objective: The purpose of our work was to study and compare the cornea and tear film of people and sheep inhabiting in a region of Argentinean Patagonia (PATG), and in a geographically and climatically different region i...

Macrophyte health status can influence the composition of their exudates causing different effects on zooplankton behavior and distribution in nature. We hypothesize that: (1) the release of phenolic compounds and chromo...

Introduction: This pilot study investigated the effects of ovariectomy-induced estrogen deficiency on the biomechanical properties of intact anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in a porcine model, a biological condition t...

Abstract The development of sustainable infrastructure in Nigeria requires the effective use of native timber species in designed constructions. This study assesses the structural integrity of glue-laminated timber (Glul...

Abstract Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective method of kidney replacement therapy. It offers patients a high degree of autonomy. However, long-term PD remains problematic. Continuous exposure of the peritoneal membr...

Abstract The global challenge of effectively cultivating clinical thinking in medical students persists, often hindered by traditional textbooks that present knowledge in a linear sequence disconnected from the non-linea...

This study explores the aeroelastic behavior of the IEA 15 MW wind turbine rotor during dynamic yaw maneuvers under storm conditions through high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The focus is on...

Abstract Silver nanoparticles show promise anticancer agents, yet their clinical translation is hindered by poor bioavailability and nonspecific toxicity. In this study, we developed an apigenin-functionalized silica-coa...

Abstract Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the main cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea that can cause colitis or even death. The medical-treatment cost and deaths caused by CDI are increasing annually worldwide. ...

Although the classical language cortex significantly contributes to post-stroke aphasia (PSA), non-language-specific cortex, such as the cerebellum, is increasingly implicated in language. However, the specific contribut...

Abstract Medical images are inherently high-resolution and contain locally varying structures that are crucial for diagnosis. Efficient compression of such data must therefore preserve diagnostic fidelity while minimizin...

Abstract Contrast enhancement technique is a prevalent problem in aiding interpretation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. A low contrast MRI image may prove to be problematic in identifying medical problems suc...

Subsea cables are critical infrastructure that are susceptible to damage from anchor drops, necessitating robust protection systems. This study evaluated the crashworthiness of a duct-type reinforced concrete protection ...
