Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of methylene blue (MB) therapy on adult patients experiencing septic shock in the ICU, focusing on outcomes like mortality and organ function.
- A systematic review of 15 studies with 441 patients found that MB treatment significantly reduced mortality rates in septic shock cases.
- While some improvements in blood pressure were noted, further research is needed due to limitations in sample size and study diversity to confirm MB's potential benefits in critical care.
Background And Objective: Ageism represents an important barrier to high-quality healthcare for older adults. The present study sought to translate and validate the Arabic version of the Ageism Scale for Dental Students (ASDS-Arabic).
Materials And Methods: The 27-item ASDS tool was translated from English into Arabic following recommended cross-sectional forward and backward translation guidelines.
This study investigates the performance of biopolymer electrolytes based on chitosan and dextran for energy storage applications. The optimization of ion transport and performance of electric double-layer capacitors EDCL using these electrolytes, incorporating different concentrations of glycerol as a plasticizer and TiO as nanoparticles, is explored. Impedance measurements indicate a notable reduction in charge transfer resistance with the addition of TiO.

These compounds have nonswitchable phases that exhibit remanent electric polarization and nonlinear optical activity. Additionally, these compounds can generate photocurrents in the visible spectral range due to their wide absorption band.

The genome sequence of B. lehensis predicted an open reading frame of Blg29 with a deduced of 249 amino acids and a molecular weight of 28.
