137Cs can be an important environmental contaminant due to fallout from nuclear reactor accidents and atomic weapons testing. Its contribution to the air gamma dose rate at 1 m height above contaminated ground depends on...

The long-standing view that idioms are formally and thus also semantically fixed has been challenged and many studies have shown that idioms are indeed flexible both structurally and semantically to varying degrees. We o...

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are fundamental traits of protein functionality and their study has been addressed using several approaches over the past years. However, screening methods developed to detect regu...

Photosensitized reactions mediated by endogenous chromophores have been associated with the etiology of age-related cataract disease. Endogenous chromophores such as 3-hydroxykynurenine (3OHKN) can be found in both free ...

OBJECTIVE: Comparison of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), by Cockroft-Gault (CG) and Modification of Diet in the Renal Disease (MDRD) formulas in metabolic syndrome patients. MATERIAL and METHODS: 999 patients attend...

With high hardness, high thermal and chemical stability and excellent optical performance, hard materials exhibit great potential applications in various fields, especially in harsh conditions. Femtosecond laser ablation...

Femtosecond laser direct writing is widely exploited in surface periodic structures processing. However, this technique still faces challenges in obtaining high surface homogeneity and flexible morphology controllability...

Methods of geometric and solvate-stymulated mechano-sorption-activated modification of fumed nanosilica in the gaseous dispersion media were developed and used to prepare functionalyzed nanofillers for polymeric systems....

This research emerged from the need of consolidating a meaningful bilingual methodology for children from three- to five-years-of-age from low socioeconomic backgrounds belonging to the public education system, where the...

Currently, laser-induced structural modifications in optical materials have been an active field of research. In this paper, we reported structural modifications in the bulk of sapphire due to picosecond (ps) laser filam...

One of the bottleneck issues for commercial scale-up of Ti additive manufacturing lies in high cost of raw material, i.e. the spherical Ti powder that is often made by gas atomization. In this study, we address this sign...

We present magnetic field induced modulation of the optical response of slit plasmonic metasurfaces fabricated out of giant magnetoresistance/spintronic materials in the 2–17 μm spectral range of the spectrum. The mod...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease and death. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a serious public health problem because of its associated morbidity, mortality, and health care cos...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of thyroid dysfunction in adult patients with nephrotic syndrome and to investigate the relation between nephrotic syndrome and low triiodothyronine (T3) synd...

Abstract The objective of the review is to use individual participant data (IPD) meta‐analysis to explore the effect of mass deworming during pregnancy. We developed a search strategy and searched the databases till Ma...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of mild renal dysfunction and its association with insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS) or its components among Turkish adults. METHODS: Serum creatinine concent...

Circadian clocks coordinate time-of-day-specific metabolic and physiological processes to maximize organismal performance and fitness. In addition to light and temperature, which are regarded as strong zeitgebers for cir...

Oxidative stress is one of the proposed mechanisms to explain renal function impairment in chronic renal failure (CRF). There is growing evidence supporting that oxidative balance is disturbed due to either overproductio...

OBJECTIVE: Proteinuria is an important marker that accelerates chronic kidney disease. Known antiproteinuric treatments are not always sufficient. In recent years, animal studies have shown that vitamin D has positive ef...

Ferroelectric oxide nanocrystals, in combination with the robust coupling of an electric field with crystal structure symmetry, makes such systems agreeable to field-induced crystal structural transformation. The lumines...
