Hybrid thermosensitive hydrogel/amniotic membrane structure incorporating S-nitrosothiol microparticles: potential uses for controlled nitric oxide delivery.

Insufficient levels of nitric oxide may lead to chronic and acute wounds. Additionally, it is crucial that nitric oxide is prepared in a controlled-release manner due to its gaseous nature and short half-life. To address this issue, utilizing nitric oxide donors, particularly S-nitrosothiols such as S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), could efficiently overcome instability and aid in biomedical applications.

Automatic Recognition of Multiple Emotional Classes from EEG Signals through the Use of Graph Theory and Convolutional Neural Networks.

Emotion is a complex state caused by the functioning of the human brain in relation to various events, for which there is no scientific definition. Emotion recognition is traditionally conducted by psychologists and experts based on facial expressions-the traditional way to recognize something limited and is associated with errors. This study presents a new automatic method using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals based on combining graph theory with convolutional networks for emotion recognition.

Evaluation of Complex Upper Airway Obstruction in Children Using Cine-MRI: A Single-Center Experience and Literature Review.

Introduction Polysomnography (PSG) is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. However, the anatomic location of upper airway obstruction in these patients cannot be determined by PSG, especially in children with complex upper airway obstruction. CT imaging and endoscopic evaluation have been proposed for the evaluation of upper airways in these children.

Short-term effects of antenatal betamethasone on fetal cardiovascular and circulation status: A quasi-experimental observational (before-after) study.

Background: The administration of antenatal corticosteroid is a standard treatment to reduce the rate of perinatal mortality and morbidity; however, there is limited evidence regarding the potential effects of betamethasone on the constriction of the ductus arteriosus (DA).

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of antenatal betamethasone on fetal cardiovascular and circulation status.

Materials And Methods: This quasi-experimental observational (before-after) study was conducted on 32 singleton fetuses.

Implementation of Intrahospital Transfer Strategy During COVID-19 and Identify Success Factors Based on DEMATEL Technique.

Background And Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant strain on world health care systems. The lack of trained and experienced staff was a complicated issue during the pandemic. To overcome insufficient staffing problems, the intrahospital transfer (IHT) strategy was implemented at Milad Hospital in Tehran during COVID-19.
