The preconcentration of metal ions present at low concentration levels in aqueous systems and the selective removal of potentially toxic metals are important applications of adsorption processes. In this study, a heptadentate dinucleating ligand was anchored to chitosan for use in adsorption studies on Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions. The novel adsorbent was characterized by 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA and BET surface area analysis. The degree of substitution of the ligand in chitosan, obtained ...

Abstract Background Due to the lack of high-quality evidence which has hindered the development of evidence-based guidelines, there is a need to provide general guidance on cranioplasty (CP) following traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as identify areas of ongoing uncertainty via a consensus-based approach. Methods The international consensus meeting on post-traumatic CP was held during the International Conference on Recent Advances in Neurotraumatology (ICRAN), in Naples, Italy, in June 2018. ...

The prevalence of large-vessel vasculitis (LVV) in newly diagnosed GCA is still debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of LVV in newly diagnosed GCA using colour-Doppler sonography (CDS) and to compare the clinical and laboratory findings of GCA patients with and without LVV.Sixty-two consecutive patients with new-onset GCA underwent CDS of the epiaortic vessels and of the aorta. The identified patients with LVV were randomly matched (1 : 2 ratio) to GCA patients without LVV. ...

The use of herbicides with glyphosate as an active ingredient (a.i.) has increased dramatically in recent years, with its residues often being found in either soil or water. Nevertheless, concerns have arisen about its harmful side effects for both ecosystems and wildlife health. Therefore, the objective of this work was to assess the effects of a commercial formulation of glyphosate (RoundUp® UltraMax), at environmentally relevant concentrations on zebrafish embryos through a set of behavioural patterns. ...

The use of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) has increased dramatically, being currently the most used herbicides worldwide. Glyphosate acts as a chelating agent, capable of chelate metals. The synergistic effects of metals and agrochemicals may pose an environmental problem as they have been shown to induce neurological abnormalities and behavioural changes in aquatic species. However, as their ecotoxicity effects are poorly understood, evaluating the impacts of GBH complexed with metals is an ecological ...

Based on the antioxidant effects of taurine, which are capable of controlling oxidative stress in the aging process, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of taurine supplementation on biomarkers of oxidative stress in women 55 to 70 y of age. A double-blind study was conducted with 24 women (61.4 ± 4.2 y, body mass index 31.4 ± 5.1 kg/m²). The participants were randomly assigned to either a control group (GC, n = 11), supplemented with placebo (1.5 g of starch); or a taurine group (GTAU, n = ...

Bacterial infections causing mastitis in sheep can result in severe economic losses for farmers. A large survey of milk samples from ewes with mastitis in Sardinia, Italy, indicated an increasing prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. It has been shown previously that during chronic, biofilm-associated infections P. aeruginosa populations diversify. We report the phenotypic and genomic characterisation of two clonal P. aeruginosa isolates (PSE305 and PSE306) from a mastitis infection outbreak, ...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may be recruited from bone marrow to sustain tumor vascularisation and promote the metastatic switch. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving EPC proliferation and tubulogenesis could outline novel targets for alternative anti-angiogenic treatments. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), which is activated by a depletion of the intracellular Ca(2+) pool, regulates the growth of human EPCs, where is mediated by the interaction between the endoplasmic reticulum ...

Indigenous goats play an important role in the semi-arid region of Northeastern Brazil as a biological resource with great genetic variability and historical value. In addition, they are a source of animal protein of high biological value, available to people of low income.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine net requirements of Ca, P, Mg, Na and K for growth of 36 male ...

RNA silencing occurs in a broad range of organisms. Although its ancestral function is probably related to the genome defense mechanism against repetitive selfish elements, it has been found that RNA silencing regulates different cellular processes such as gene expression and chromosomal segregation. In Neurospora crassa, a RNA silencing mechanism, called quelling, acts to repress the expression of transgenes and transposons, but until now no other cellular functions have been shown to be regulated ...

The preamplifier allows gains from 20 to 35 dB to be set by software control in 1-dB steps with 0.05-dB accuracy. Typical measured V/sub OS/ is 0.8 mV, V/sub OS/ drift is 1 mu V/C, input-referred p-weighted noise is 0.8 mu V/sub rms/ and total harmonic distortion (THD) is -70 dB. The active area is about 350 mils/sup 2/, and power consumption is 1.7 mW at 3.3-V supply and 2.9 mW at 5-V ...

Bearing steels must have high hardness, good wear resistance and dimensional stability. In the present work, the AISI 52100 bearing steel was selected as the substrate for a niobium carbide coating produced by a salt-bath thermo-reactive deposition process. The present work addresses the effect of niobium carbide coating on the wear and corrosion resistance of the abovementioned steel. A homogeneous layer composed solely by the cubic niobium carbide (NbC) was produced. The carbide coating yielded ...

With the advancement of in vivo studies and clinical trials, the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases has been better understood. However, gaps still need to be better elucidated, which justifies the publication of reviews that explore the mechanisms related to the development of these diseases. Studies show that vitamin E supplementation can protect neurons from the damage caused by oxidative stress, with a positive impact on the prevention and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, ...

The adhesion of osteoblasts to laminin, type I collagen, vitronectin and fibronectin was 77–100%, in 2h and at 55n m substrata concentration, and it was accompained by spreading of the cells. Adhesion to fibronectin (FN), laminin (LN) and type I collagen (COL) was inhibited by antibodies to the ...

Procedural staging is often performed to reduce the incidence of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) during endovascular treatment of extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). However, its role in the case of previous thoracic or infrarenal aortic repair (historical staging) has been controversial. In the present study, we evaluated the SCI rates when procedural staging was routinely used and studied its potential benefits when previous aortic repairs had already been performed.The data from patients ...
