The MAL quality of use score increased from 3.93-4.13. Performance and satisfaction scores of COPM changed from 5.25-7.25 and 4.5-8.25 respectively. VAS score for fatigue changed from 6 to 4.

The improvement achieved 9 years later with 15 sessions of rehabilitation suggests that improvement may be possible for chronic stroke…[Read more]

There have been recent reports of successful use of fragmented autogenous dentin being used as a graft material in implant dentistry. This may reduce morbidity and the need for a second donor ste or for the use of alloplasts or allografts. This article discusses the background, preparation and use of autogenous dentin as an oral osseous graft…[Read more]

Airborne pathogens pose high risks in terms of both contraction and transmission within the respiratory pathways, particularly the nasal region. However, there is little in the way of adequate intervention that can protect an individual or prevent further spread. This study reports on a nasal formulation with the capacity to combat such…[Read more]

The aqueous extract synthesized using the biomass, Ziziphus spina-christi, was applied to protect the surface of aluminium under acidic environment. The influence of extract concentration (0-0.14 mg/ml), contact time (2-8 h) and temperature (303.15-313.15 K) on the inhibition efficiency was studied. Langmuir isotherm fitted well to the…[Read more]

With steadily growing interest in the use of remote-sensing technologies to detect and diagnose pest infestations in crops, it is important to investigate and characterize possible associations between crop leaf reflectance and unique pest-induced changes in plant compositional traits. Accordingly, we compiled plant compositional traits from…[Read more]

159), HE-BMD (beta-estimate 0.009, 95% CI – 0.043 to 0.061, SE0.027, P value = 0.727), or fracture (beta-estimate 0.008, 95% CI – 0.071 to 0.087, SE0.041, P value = 0.844). These results were also confirmed by multiple sensitivity analyses. Contrary to the findings of observational studies, our results do not reveal a causal role of depress…[Read more]

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) promotes lysosomal degradation of the LDL receptor and is a key regulator of cholesterol metabolism. After the liver, the small intestine is the second organ that highly expresses PCSK9. However, the small intestine’s ability to secrete PCSK9 remains a matter of debate. While liver-specific…[Read more]

Field-effect transistors (FETs) are attractive biosensor platforms for rapid and accurate detection of various analytes through surface immobilization of specific bio-receptors. Since it is difficult to maintain the electrical stability of semiconductors of sensing channel under physiological conditions for long periods, passivation by a stable…[Read more]
