For different size classes, significant clumped distributions were observed for the regeneration levels (1-3), while the spatial distribution of tree layers (4-5) usually fluctuated distinctly among various distribution patterns. The scale effects of different size classes were mainly dominated by the linear increases (44%), the power increases…[Read more]

The need for effective candidates as cytotoxic drugs that at the same time challenge cancer multidrug resistance encouraged a search for these in plants of central Argentina. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the cytotoxic extract from Dimerostemma aspilioides led to the isolation of the germacranolide tomenphantin A (1), along with three new…[Read more]

Background Reduced postoperative mobility predisposes older patients with hip fractures to a variety of complications, including acute cerebral infarction, pressure injury, deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs, and lung and urinary tract infections caused by prolonged bed rest. This study was designed to explore the relationship between common…[Read more]

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-1 infection is life-long. Stopping therapy typically leads to the reignition of infection and progressive disease. In a major breakthrough, recent studies have shown that early initiation of ART can lead to sustained post-treatment control of viremia, raising hopes of long-term HIV-1 remission. ART, however,…[Read more]

Although often overlooked in our daily lives, saliva performs a host of necessary physiological functions, including lubricating and protecting the oral cavity, facilitating taste sensation and digestion and maintaining tooth enamel. Therefore, salivary gland dysfunction and hyposalivation, often resulting from pathogenesis of the autoimmune…[Read more]
