Article Synopsis
- The study examined how Poly(ethylene-co-(acrylic acid)) and maleic anhydride influence the properties of EPDM elastomers filled with cellulose and lignin.
- Adding these compounds improved thermal stability and elongation, while slowing down the vulcanization process.
- Maleic anhydride particularly enhanced tensile strength due to better chain mobility and stress transfer, making these modified elastomers beneficial for industrial applications involving biopolymers.
Article Synopsis
- - Niemann-Pick Type-C (NPC) disease can lead to serious neuropsychiatric issues, including catatonia, which doesn't always respond well to standard treatments like antipsychotics.
- - A patient with adult-type NPC developed catatonia that persisted despite various medications, but improved significantly with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
- - Combining ECT with lorazepam managed the catatonia, and adding lamotrigine led to full remission for eight months, suggesting lamotrigine's potential benefits in treating recurrent catatonia.
Introduction: Cognitive impairment is common among patients with hemodialysis. Hemodialysis patients have theoretical risks for both deficiency and accumulation of trace elements. We aimed to investigate the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and whole blood levels of trace elements in hemodialysis patients.

Objective: To evaluate cognitive function in patients with prolactinoma and to investigate the basis of possible cognitive impairment in brain white matter changes using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
Methods: 37 consecutive patients with prolactinoma and 37 healthy controls of similar age, sex, and education were enrolled in the study.
To demonstrate the burden of sexual dysfunction (SD) among females with rheumatic diseases, we conducted a cross-sectional comparative study in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and Behçet's syndrome (BS) along with suitable healthy controls (HCs). Age-matched female patients with SSc (n = 50), SLE (n = 49), and BS (n = 54), along with 52 female HCs were included in this study between April and October, 2021. Sociodemographic features were recorded, and psychometric tests, i.
