Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of BIOTECH 1766 against oxidative damage in the brain, liver, and kidneys induced by aluminum (Al) poisoning in ICR mice.
Methods: Twenty mice were divided into four groups (n = 5): (I) control, (II) Al, (III) citric acid (CA), and (IV) BIOTECH 1766 group. A 14-day treatment period was implemented, wherein groups I and II received sterile water, while groups III and IV received 10 mg/kg bw of CA and 1 x 10 cfu/kg bw of BIOTECH 1766, respectively.
Background: Inguinal lymph node dissection plays an important role in the management of melanoma, penile and vulval cancer. Inguinal lymph node dissection is associated with various intraoperative and postoperative complications with significant heterogeneity in classification and reporting. This lack of standardization challenges efforts to study and report inguinal lymph node dissection outcomes.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo-photon polymerization (TPP) has been widely used to create 3D micro- and nanoscale scaffolds for biological and mechanobiological studies, which often require the mechanical characterization of the TPP fabricated structures. To satisfy physiological requirements, most of the mechanical characterizations need to be conducted in liquid. However, previous characterizations of TPP fabricated structures were all conducted in air due to the limitation of conventional micro- and nanoscale mechanical testing methods.

Article Synopsis
- Islands have unique ecosystems that are threatened by invasive species and other stressors, impacting both land and marine environments.
- Recent research shows that eradicating invasive mammals and restoring native species can benefit both island and surrounding ocean ecosystems, but the effectiveness of these efforts varies globally.
- To improve conservation strategies, it’s important to evaluate key environmental factors like precipitation and ocean productivity, which can inform land-sea management plans and maximize conservation results.
