To describe the perspectives, satisfaction, and self-efficacy towards aerobic exercise and to investigate the barriers to aerobic exercise identified by individuals with stroke in a developing country.

A cross-sectional study was performed with 15 individuals (55 ± 12 years, 69 ± 77 months post-stroke), who received a 12-week vigorous inte…[Read more]

Asthma affects over 330 million people worldwide. Timing of an asthma event is extremely important and lack of identification of asthma increases the risk of death. A major challenge for health systems is the length of time between symptom onset and care seeking, which could result in delayed treatment initiation and worsening of symptoms.…[Read more]

As expected, groups 1A and 5 showed the clear presence and lack of HER2 copy number gain, respectively, as measured by ddPCR and NGS. In contrast, group 1B and other uncommon FISH groups (groups 2-4) were characterized by a broader range of HER2 copy levels with only a few select cases showing high-level gain. Notably, these cases with increased…[Read more]

Gimmel et al. (2019) recently treated the two fossil taxa of the beetle family Cyclaxyridae (Cucujoidea), a family that is today represented only by two species in New Zealand (Gimmel et al. 2009). Gimmel et al. (2019) synonymized two species from European amber described within the family Phalacridae (Cucujoidea), Stilbus bedovoyi Lyubarsky…[Read more]

MicroRNA-target networks are often dysregulated in diseases. Our purpose is to investigate this dysregulation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through the bioinformatics reanalysis of the public RNAseq dataset, we found that miR-188-3p was the miRNA with the highest induction rate, and indicated that miR-188-3p might have a rare function of…[Read more]

59 cm from the lateral epicondyle, SD ± 0.17 cm (p = 0.55), the ulnar 3.68 cm from medial epicondyle, SD ± 0.63 cm (p = 0.302). In the clinical measurements the radial nerve was 7.46 cm, SD ± 0.48 cm, never within 7.0 cm (p = 0.425), the ulnar nerve was 3.14 cm, SD ± 0.31 cm (p = 0.051). Statistical analysis yielded no difference between skin mar…[Read more]

The localization of the conjugated particles throughout the skin tissue including dermal and epidermal region was confirmed by confocal microscopy. We also conducted a comparative assessment on WEN-RB-G and LiWEN-RB-G for the suitability of ROS generation and bioimaging under NIR activation. read more The ‘proof of principle’ concept reported here…[Read more]
