Abstract Background Ferns, comprising epiphytic, aquatic, and terrestrial varieties, are good models to investigate plant terrestrialization. Vascular tissue represents a significant development in the terrestrial adapta...

BackgroundOxidative stress has been implicated in albuminuria-related renal abnormalities in diabetes; however, the combined associations of pro-oxidant and antioxidant dietary components with UACR-defined renal impairme...

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the predictive ability of baseline multiphase computed tomographic angiography (mCTA) findings and the time from symptom onset to imaging in predicting functional outcomes in patients with m...

The causative agent for Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi, is transmitted to a human host in the urine/feces of the kissing bug, Rhodnius prolixus, following blood feeding. Kinins are important chemical messengers in the...

This paper examines the interrelation between functional transformation and demographic change in small towns in Serbia, focusing on temporal and spatial disparities and uneven development trajectories. Small towns are i...

Abstract Background Elite female basketball players experience a high incidence of lower-limb injuries, yet evidence remains limited regarding the applicability of common functional performance tests in this population. ...

Background: Ensuring the safety and functional independence of older people is becoming increasingly important. Fall-prevention guidelines emphasize the use of highly challenging training modalities to reduce fall risk. ...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the effects of humectants on moisture content, water activity, tenderness, color, microbiological analysis, protein denaturation, and oxidation of jerky. A thorough search for paper...

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...

Introduction Fractures, the most common type of trauma, can cause considerable distress to patients. Pain can not only affect the comfort of fracture patients but also delay their participation in rehabilitation training...

This study aimed to isolate and characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditional Lithuanian fermented foods and evaluate their probiotic potential, safety, and ability to produce tryptophan. Around 20 LAB isolate...

Abstract Endocytosis and intracellular trafficking of plasma membrane (PM)-resident proteins are crucial for regulating their activity and polarized localization. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these proces...

The RAG1 and RAG2 genes encode proteins essential for initiating V(D)J recombination in T cell receptor and immunoglobulin gene loci. Biallelic pathogenic variants in these genes are implicated in a spectrum of immunodef...

ABSTRACT Objective Although the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), and Knee Society Score (KSS) are widely used for postoperative functional evaluation in patients undergo...

BackgroundEarly and effective intervention is crucial in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) without large- or medium-vessel occlusion (non-LVO/MVO), which accounts for approximately 60–70% of all AIS cases. ...

This study investigates deterministic structures in statistical functionals derived from high-resolution measurements of Lake Baikal ice cover deformations preceding ice shocks - events caused by thermal expansion during...

The article is devoted to the analysis of international security within contemporary International Relations theory, with a particular focus on levels of analysis and explanatory frameworks. The relevance of the topic is...

Critical Discourse Analysis is a kind of analysis which seeks to discover the relationship among power, ideology and discourse. Recently, the growing Sino-Japanese dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, causing widespread conc...

Background and Study Aim. Speed-strength fitness and body dimensions are components of athletic performance in combat sports. The interaction between speed-strength fitness parameters and anthropometric characteristics i...

Background/Aim: This article examines the purpose, significance and broader impact of orthodontic treatment, emphasizing its preventative and corrective roles in maintaining optimal oral health. It highlights how occlusi...

Monitored natural recovery (MNR) is an in situ technique of conventional remediation for the treatment of contaminated sediments that relies on natural processes to reduce the bioavailability or toxicity of contaminants....

Crabapple (Malus prunifolia (Willd.) Borkh) is valued for its ornamental appearance, effectiveness as a rootstock, and rich nutritional profile. However, the flavor profile and metabolite composition are poorly character...

Objective Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynaecological condition characterised by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue; however, its molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Ferroptosis, an iron-depe...

Abstract Background Soil salinization severely restricts the growth and forage yield of Medicago sativa (alfalfa), a globally critical leguminous forage crop, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing its salt tolerance re...
