It was proved that apoptotic cells can compose a nidus for the deposition of calcium-phosphate crystals [54]. The studies that apoptotic bodies form a nidus to nucleate apatite from dying VSMC [16] reflect the importance of VC promoted apoptosis, which indicated a possible mechanisms initiating ...
In the present study, among 502,507 participants, we excluded participants based on the following criteria: (1) withdrew their consent form (N = 194); (2) with any congenital CKD proceeding the baseline (N = 8,595); (3) diagnosed CKD before the start of follow-up (90 days ...
Prior to their participation in the study, all of the participants signed a consent form, confirming their willingness to participate in the research.

1980). Another interesting, yet unstudied, potential alternative OA bowel prep is rifaximin, a non-absorbable form of rifampin, which has proven efficacy in targeting both GI aerobes and anaerobes (Huang and DuPont 2005; Ojetti et al. 2009). Finally, there is a new FDA-approved product ...
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a prevalent and severe variant of cervical spondylosis and represents the most frequent form of spinal cord injury in adults [3]. It frequently manifests as cervical pain, paresthesia, limb weakness, diminished hand dexterity, and a sensation of cotton in...
PDGF is a major mitogenic agent, which is part of family of homologous or heterodimeric growth factors with, i.e., four different polypeptide chains (PDGF-A, -B, -C, -D) that can form disulfide to create five homodimeric or heterodimeric glycoproteins (PDGF-AA, -BB, -CC, -DD, -AB)...
Individual plants form part of the garden beds, intentionally planted likely within the last 20 years. We sampled 120 mature canopy cones from across the form of the plant, from three randomly selected mature individuals of comparable height. This provided six replicate samples of 20 cones, one ...
Implicit bias was least assessed at the pre-medical education level, with approximately 50% of the total articles focusing on implicit bias as a general concept (non-specific to any form of bias). Four articles explored intersectional forms of implicit bias, such as the combined effects of ...
In our study, we focus on the following choices, depicted in the form of a decision tree in Fig.1: (i) missing value imputation, (ii) surrogate model for the unobservedpaO2-values, (iii) parameter choice approach, (iv) aggregation procedure, and (v) coding of the exposure variablepaO2 ...
