Dear Editor in Chief,We read with great interest Horner and colleagues’ recent practice review regarding thromboprophylaxis for isolated lower extremity injury.1 The insight gained from this article, in addition to other recent large reviews, will improve the shared decision-making discussions we have with patients about prevention and risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with immobilisation. We have two comments regarding the generalisability and implementation of the study data.Although immobilisation...

Abstract Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune condition with the appearance of anti-TSH receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies in the serum. The consequence is the development of hyperthyroidism in most of the patients. In addition, in the most severe cases, patients can develop orbitopathy (GO), achropachy and dermopathy. The central role of the TSHR for the disease pathology has been well accepted. Therefore immunization against the TSHR is pivotal for the creation of in vivo models...
Abstract Heavy metals induce stress in plants, thereby affecting growth, crop quality, and food security. Most studies addressing the mitigation of these effects by soil amendment have focused on metals in soils and plant uptake, with there still being a great deal of uncertainty about how amendment application in polluted soils can modify plant stress response and, consequently, yield and food safety. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of biosolid compost amendment...
Abstract This study has employed aggregate energy augmented production framework utilizing the gross domestic product (GDP), labor input, capital stock, energy, and export over the years from 1980 to 2014 on annual time series of the variables for Pakistan and South Asia panel. There is statistically insignificant association amid the variables for Pakistan while there is indication of long-run association amid the variables for panel of South Asia. The findings imply that energy...
Abstract The inevitable discharge of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), from consumer and industrial products, into wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has created a need to determine their effect on sludge digestion. In this study, the effect of particle size (30 nm and 100 nm), type (coated and non-coated), and dose (6, 75, and 150 mg/g feed total solids (TS)) of ZnO NPs on anaerobic sludge digestion was studied under mesophilic (35 °C) and thermophilic (55 °C) conditions. The...
The new human coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense RNA virus for which no specific drugs are currently available. A knowledge-based analysis strongly suggests a possible repositioning of the anti-H...
Despite the demonstrated role of human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the etiology of cervical cancer and the strong evidence suggesting the importance of HPV in the development of oropharyngeal cancer, several aspects ...
Zusammenfassung Eine Vielzahl neuer implantierbarer Hörsysteme und Anwendungen eröffnet zusätzliche Möglichkeiten für bisher schlecht behandelbare Erkrankungen. Für viele dieser Hörsysteme gibt es nur eingeschränkt technische Möglichkeiten, um alle Anwendungen technisch zu charakterisieren. Deswegen sind klar strukturierte, klinische Studien, die die Anwendungen und Geräte für zusammenfassende Metastudien vergleichbar machen, dringend erforderlich. Dies ist nicht nur im Hinblick...
Zusammenfassung Exosomen, virusgroße Nanovesikel, werden als Botensysteme unseres Körpers zur Kommunikation mit anderen Körperzellen und Regulation von Immunfunktionen genutzt. Die von fast allen Körperzellen sezernierten Exosomen können unterwegs in der Blutzirkulation und in der Körperperipherie mit Immunzellen interagieren. Unterschiedliche Marker auf der Exosomenoberfläche sind für die Immunzelladhäsion und -interaktion nötig. Darüber hinaus sind mehrere Arten der Exosomen-Immunzell-Interaktion...

Abstract Capsule-based dry powder inhaler (DPI) products can be influenced by a multitude of interacting factors, including electrostatic charging. Tribo-charging is a process of charge transfer impacted by various factors, i.e., material surface characteristics, mechanical properties, processing parameters and environmental conditions. Consequently, this work aimed to assess how the charging behavior of capsules intended for inhalation might be influenced by environmental conditions....

The Talpidae family has a highly stable karyotype. Most of the chromosome studies in this mammal group, however, employed classical cytogenetic techniques. Molecular cytogenetic analyses are still scarce and, for example, no repeated DNA sequences have been described to date. In this work, we used sequence analysis, chromosomal mapping of a LINE1 retroelement sequence, as well as chromosome painting with a whole Y chromosome probe of T. occidentalis to compare the karyotypes of 3 species of the genus...
During gametogenesis, the human genome can acquire various de novo rearrangements. Most constitutional genomic rearrangements are created through 1 of the 4 well-known mechanisms, i.e., nonallelic homologous recombination, erroneous repair after double-strand DNA breaks, replication errors, and retrotransposition. However, recent studies have identified 2 types of extremely complex rearrangements that cannot be simply explained by these mechanisms. The first type consists of chaotic structural changes...
