Background: Domestic violence (DV) against women is a global problem and is present in every country. It is a matter of serious concern in most communities and cultures and has consequences on women's mental, physical, reproductive, and sexual health. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and pattern of DV among married women.

Phospholipid flippases in the P4-ATPase family are essential for establishing membrane asymmetry. These ATP-powered pumps translocate specific lipids from the exofacial leaflet to the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane, thereby concentrating substrate lipids, such as phosphatidylserine, in the cytosolic leaflet while non-substrate lipids populate the exofacial leaflet. Here, we describe a method for measuring P4-ATPase transport activity in the yeast plasma membrane by using flow cytometry to quantify the uptake of lipids derivatized with a fluorescent [7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino] (NBD) group on a short (C6) fatty acyl chain.

Objective: This study aims to assess the role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) in suspected recurrent ovarian carcinoma. Several clinical and PET parameters were assessed to evaluate disease burden and prognosis.

Methods: We did a single-center, retrospective study in patients with suspected recurrent ovarian carcinoma who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT.

This study includes cultivation in artificial saline medium (ASM). With the aim of harvesting the bulk biomass, an experiment was set up at a bench scale to evaluate the best flocculation technique with the least compromising biomass and lipid loss. The flocculation efficiencies for the biomass have been studied using the auto-, bio-, and chemical-flocculation methods.

The acetylation of proteins' N-terminal amino groups by the N-acetyltransferase complexes plays a crucial role in modulating the spatial stability and functional activities of diverse human proteins. Mutations disrupting the stability and function of NAA10 result in X-linked rare genetic disorders. In this study, we conducted a global analysis of the impact of fifteen disease-associated missense mutations in .
