Purpose: Chemical modifications in monoclonal antibodies can change hydrophobicity, charge heterogeneity as well as conformation, which eventually can impact their physical stability. In this study, the effect of the individual charge variants on physical stability and aggregation propensity in two different buffer conditions used during downstream purification was investigated.

Methods: The charge variants were separated using semi-preparative cation exchange chromatography and buffer exchanged in the two buffers with pH 6.

Herein, a step-by-step protocol for simultaneous detection of 20 amino acids commonly present in cell culture media is described. The protocol facilitates detection of both primary and secondary amino acids through a two-step precolumn derivatization strategy using ortho-phthalaldehyde and 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate as derivatizing agents. The separation of derivatized amino acids with varying hydrophobicity is achieved through reverse-phase chromatography.

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is used for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (AF). Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is often an adjunct to PVI. Successful PWI is limited by esophageal location, epicardial bridging signals, tissue thickness, and mapping catheter resolution.

Global temperatures are expected to increase due to climate change, and heat stress is one of the major limiting factors affecting future agriculture. To identify plant-associated microorganisms which can promote heat stress tolerance in wheat, we have screened several bacteria isolated from etiolated seedlings of the invasive noxious weed . One isolate designated as Ph-04 was found to confer enhanced heat stress tolerance in wheat.

"Existing computational fluid dynamics studies of blood flows have demonstrated that the lower wall stress and higher oscillatory shear index might be the cause of acceleration in atherogenesis of vascular walls in hemodynamics. To prevent the chances of aneurysm wall rupture in the saccular aneurysm at distal aortic bifurcation, clinical biomagnetic studies have shown that extra-corporeal magnetic fields can be deployed to regulate the blood flow. Motivated by these developments, in the current study a finite element computational fluid dynamics simulation has been conducted of unsteady two-dimensional non-Newtonian magneto-hemodynamic heat transfer in electrically conducting blood flow in a bifurcated artery featuring a saccular aneurysm.

Two-dimensional rheological laminar hemodynamics through a diseased tapered artery with a mild stenosis present is simulated theoretically and computationally. The effect of different metallic nanoparticles homogeneously suspended in the blood is considered, motivated by drug delivery (pharmacology) applications. The Eringen micropolar model has been discussed for hemorheological characteristics in the whole arterial region.

This article presents a two-dimensional theoretical study of hemodynamics through a diseased permeable artery with a mild stenosis and an aneurysm present. The effect of metallic nanoparticles on the blood flow is considered, motivated by drug delivery (pharmacology) applications. Two different models are adopted to mimic non-Newtonian characteristics of the blood flow; the Casson (viscoplastic) fluid model is deployed in the core region and the Sisko (viscoelastic) fluid model employed in the peripheral (porous) region.

Purpose: Children with chronic conditions experience medical issues over long-term periods of time which can have lasting emotional and social consequences impacting daily life and functioning. Activities and participation outcomes are needed in order to comprehensively assess child-important health in clinical trials. Our objective was to review the extent to which activity and participation outcomes are included in clinical trials of childhood chronic disease and to determine what trial characteristics are associated with their use.

Aim: Our aims were to (1) describe the conceptual basis of popular generic instruments according to World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of functioning, disability, and health (FDH), and quality of life (QOL) with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as a subcomponent of QOL; (2) map the instruments to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF); and (3) provide information on how the analyzed instruments were used in the literature. This should enable users to make valid choices about which instruments have the desired content for a specific context or purpose.

Method: Child health-based literature over a 5-year period was reviewed to find research employing health status and QOL/HRQOL instruments.
