SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that causes a potentially deadly syndrome that affects especially the respiratory tract. Kidney-transplanted patients are immunosuppressed and more susceptible to viral infections. We have examined our transplantation activity to explore the future role of kidney transplantation from deceased and living donors in COVID-19…[Read more]

2, P=.020) and copy clocks (β=12, P=.005) and lower MoCA-based clock scores in both command (OR=0.19, P=.001) and copy conditions (OR=0.14, P=.012).

The digital clock drawing test is feasible to administer and is highly acceptable to older adults in a preoperative setting. We demonstrated a significant association between both the dCDT…[Read more]

further improvement.Besides serving in wastewater treatment and energy generation fields, electroactive biofilm (EAB) has been employed as a sensitive bio-elements in a biosensor to monitor water quality by delivering electrical signals without additional mediators. Increasing studies have applied EAB-based biosensor in specific pollutant…[Read more]

Human Herpes Virus-6 (HHV-6), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Kaposi Sarcoma Herpes Virus (KSHV) are viruses that share with other member of the Herpesvirus family the capacity to interfere with the autophagic process. In this paper, mainly based on the findings of our laboratory, we describe how, through different mechanisms, these viruses converge…[Read more]

lic health need to be contemplated, and appropriate measures should be initiated to contain its spread.

We aimed to estimate the time-varying transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in China, Wuhan City, and Guangdong province, and compare to that of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

Data on COVID-19 cases in China up to 20 March…[Read more]

The two most frequent causes of this low level are the absence of studies and the discrepancy between the wording of the recommendation and the evidence used. Finally, the proposed solution to the critical recommendations is a list of unanswered research questions and possible designs to answer them.

We propose to design and promote…[Read more]

By employing our models in a pathline-based cardiovascular model building pipeline we substantially reduce the manual segmentation effort required to build accurate cardiovascular models, and reduce the overall time required to perform patient-specific cardiovascular simulations. While our method is applied here for cardiovascular model building…[Read more]

A great variety of adjuncts to mechanical treatment have been reported with controversial results. Finally, studies comparing results from different peri-implantitis treatments are warranted in randomized controlled clinical trials in order to provide stronger evidence-based approaches.This study investigated the incidence of failure after locking…[Read more]

This study aimed to investigate whether the proposed model could manage patients with epilepsy (PWEs) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.

We used a model to manage the PWEs during the outbreak. Questionnaire survey and hospital data were used to explore whether PWEs under our management were affected by the…[Read more]
