A retrospective comparative study.

This study compares the effect of age at the time of surgery on clinical and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) outcomes at 10-year follow-up in pediatric patients with congenital scoliosis (CS). Several studies have evaluated the outcomes of surgical treatments of CS during the growth period;…[Read more]

Using an EBR approach will improve the usefulness of a clinical study by providing the context to draw more valid conclusions and explicit information about new research needs.Programmed cell death protein-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a crucial biomarker in immunotherapy and its expression level plays a key role in the guidance of anti-PD-L1 therapy. It…[Read more]

The solution evaluation results are promising in terms of ensuring the privacy of prosumer energy data stored in the public blockchain and detecting potential data inconsistencies.Surface functionalization with end-tethered weak polyelectrolytes (PE) is a versatile way to modify and control surface properties, given their ability to alter their…[Read more]

Asthma is a common airway inflammatory disorder, characterized by increased infiltration of leukocytes and bronchoconstriction. Dexamethasone (DEX) has been widely used in the treatment of allergic asthma. However, long-term and frequent use of DEX has side effects. We therefore reasoned that if drug carriers have intrinsic anti-inflammatory and…[Read more]

83%. The results show that the proposed method is more accurate than other decision-making algorithms, such as decision trees, Naïve Bayes, and ANN. From the perspective of healthcare professionals, the proposed medical decision support system is simple, comprehensive, and more effective than previous models for assessing the risk of GC and can…[Read more]

I hypothesize that, as humans are infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus releases (a) fragment(s) of the spike protein that can target host cells for eliciting cell signaling without the rest of the viral components. Thus, COVID-19 patients are subjected to the intact virus infecting the host cells for the replication and amplification as well as the…[Read more]

6% mortality, whereas those 7 patients with hematological system involvement had highest mortality of 28.5%. The mortality rate was 15.55%. In our study for PELOD-2 within 24 hours of admission, the area under receiver operating curve was 0.87 and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was

= 0.42.

To evaluate the agreement between observers using Greulich-Pyle (GP) and Gilsanz-Ratib (GR) methods, between four specialities (radiology, pediatrics, pediatric endocrinology and pediatric radiology) and between observers and automated tool in the bone age estimation.

A total of 99 observers participated in this questionnaire-based study.…[Read more]

This study could provide the theoretical basis for the development of efficient azoles inhibitors and may lead a better insight into structure-function relationships of CYP51.Fluorescently labeled proteins can improve the detection sensitivity and have been widely used in a variety of biological measurements. In single-molecule assays,…[Read more]

DNA possesses various chemical and physical properties which make it important in biological analysis. The opportunity for DNA to ‘meet’ capillary-based microsystems is rapidly increasing owing to the expanding development of miniaturization. Novel capillary-based methods can provide favourable platforms for DNA-ligand interaction assay, DNA…[Read more]

The purpose of the study was to determine the differences between two subspecies O. vulgare L. subsp. hirtum (Link) Ietswaart (Greek oregano) and O. vulgare L. subsp. vulgare (common oregano) growing in cultivation conditions within temperate climate of Central Europe. The characteristic of the subspecies was undertaken in terms of selected…[Read more]
