Biological and Nutritional Applications of Microalgae.

Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that have a rapid growth cycle and carbon fixation ability. They have diverse cellular structures, ranging from prokaryotic cyanobacteria to more complex eukaryotic forms, which enable them to thrive in a variety of environments and support biomass production. They utilize both photosynthesis and heterotrophic pathways, indicating their ecological importance and potential for biotechnological applications.

Association of the Naples Prognostic Score with Long-Term Adverse Events in Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia After Below-the-Knee Endovascular Revascularization.

Objectives: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The Naples prognostic score (NPS), a composite marker incorporating serum albumin, total cholesterol, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), has shown prognostic value in various cardiovascular conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the NPS in predicting all-cause mortality and any kind of amputation in patients with CLTI undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT) for below-the-knee (BTK) lesions.

Mortality Prediction of Biochemical Parameters in Patients Intubated in the Emergency Department.

Introduction Tracheal intubation is a high-risk airway management protocol frequently applied in patients with critical illnesses. Numerous parameters have been suggested to predict mortality in these patients. Blood gas analysis, electrolyte levels, enzyme activities, and other biochemical measurements provide insights into a patient's metabolic status and organ functions.

Iron Phosphide Nanobundles for Efficient Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Acidic and Basic Media.

Earth-abundant transition metal phosphide (TMP) nanomaterials have gained significant attention as potential replacements for Pt-based electrocatalysts in green energy applications, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and overall water splitting. In particular, FeP nanostructures exhibit superior electrical conductivity and high stability. Moreover, their diverse composition and unique crystal structures position FeP nanomaterials as emerging candidates for HER electrocatalysts.

Clinical Outcomes of Double-Kissing Crush or Double-Kissing Culotte in Nonleft Main Bifurcation Lesions: The ROUTE Trial.

Background: Double-kissing (DK) crush and DK culotte are the recommended 2-stent strategies in true coronary bifurcation lesions. However, it is a matter of curiosity about which of the DK crush and DK culotte stenting techniques will have superior results. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of DK crush and DK culotte stenting in nonleft main coronary artery bifurcation.
