research, protective role of these products on multiorgan damage induced by IR was investigated for the first time. We found that both melatonin and spirulina ameliorate the effects of IR to varying degrees. This study provides evidence that melatonin and spirulina may have preventive effects on oxidative tissue damage and apoptosis in the…Read more

Pesticides contribute to pest control and increase agricultural production; however, they are toxic to non-target organisms, and they contaminate the environment. The exposure of bacteria to these substances can lead to the need for physiological and structural changes for survival, which can be determined by genes whose expression is regulated by…Read more

As a powerful diagnostic tool, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been widely used in various clinical setting. However, OCT images are susceptible to inherent speckle noise that may contaminate subtle structure information, due to low-coherence interferometric imaging procedure. Many supervised learning-based models have achieved impressive…Read more

No claim to original U.S. Government Works.Opportunistic pathogens of the genus Candida reign as the leading cause of mycotic disease and are associated with mortality rates greater than 40%, even with antifungal intervention. This is in part due to the limited arsenal of antifungals available to treat systemic fungal infections. Azoles have been…Read more

This study demonstrates the development of a nitric oxide (NO)-releasing hydrogel wound dressing and its efficacy at accelerating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected wound healing. A DETA/NONOate-doped alginate (Alg-DETA/NO) hydrogel was synthesized using alginate as a hydrogel-forming wound dressing material and…Read more

To overcome resulting conceptual and methodological challenges, we highlight the need for a contextualized mindfulness framework whereby acceptance enables the process of engaging with life’s challenges rather than avoiding them.Direct oral anticoagulants are widely used to treat and prevent thromboembolic disorders. With rising clinical…Read more
