Dynamic prediction of kidney allograft and patient survival using post-transplant estimated glomerular filtration rate trajectory.

Background: Allograft loss is the most feared outcome of kidney transplant recipients. We aimed to develop a dynamic Bayesian model using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectories to predict long-term allograft and patient survivals.

Methods: We used data from the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant registry and included all adult kidney transplant recipients (1980-2017) in Australia (derivation cohort) and New Zealand (NZ, validation cohort).

Accuracy of Mothers' Perception of Birth Size to Predict Birth Weight Data in Bangladesh.

Objectives: The prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) is an important indicator of child health and wellbeing. However, in many countries, decisions regarding care and treatment are often based on mothers' perceptions of their children's birth size due to a lack of objective birth weight data. Additionally, birth weight data that is self-reported or recorded often encounters the issue of heaping.

Social deprivation and spatial clustering of childhood asthma in Australia.

Background: Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory illness among children in Australia. While childhood asthma prevalence varies by region, little is known about variations at the small geographic area level. Identifying small geographic area variations in asthma is critical for highlighting hotspots for targeted interventions.

Characterization of antibiofilm compound from marine sponge Stylissa carteri.

The fouling phenomenon grabbed global attention and caused huge economic losses specifically in marine-related industries. Sessile behavior exposed the sponge to the risk of fouling. However, their bodies remained free from foulers, which were attributed to the chemical defense system.

Software defined wireless sensor load balancing routing for internet of things applications: Review of approaches.

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to a surge in Internet traffic characterized by variabilities in Quality of Service (QoS) demands. Managing these devices and traffic effectively proves challenging, particularly within conventional IoT network architectures lacking centralized management. However, the advent of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) presents intriguing opportunities for network management, capable of addressing challenges in traditional IoT architectures.

Effect of extract and its fraction in reverse cholesterol transport by targeting gene.

This present study aimed to investigate the effects of (Red seaweed) extract and its fraction on scavenger receptor class B type I () gene expressions. studies of the activity of extract and its fraction against the therapeutic target for hypocholesterolemia were conducted using high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor SR-BI luciferase assay in HepG2 cells. In the current study, methanol crude extract (MCE) and Fraction-2 of showed the highest expression levels of the gene luciferase assay and increased expression compared to the negative control.

Controller placement with critical switch aware in software-defined network (CPCSA).

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a networking architecture with improved efficiency achieved by moving networking decisions from the data plane to provide them critically at the control plane. In a traditional SDN, typically, a single controller is used. However, the complexity of modern networks due to their size and high traffic volume with varied quality of service requirements have introduced high control message communications overhead on the controller.

Interaction mechanism of a cysteine protease inhibitor, odanacatib, with human serum albumin: In vitro and bioinformatics studies.

Odanacatib (ODN) is a selective cathepsin K inhibitor that acts as an anti-resorptive agent to treat osteoporosis. ODN is also found effective in reducing the effect of severe periodontitis. The interaction between ODN and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using spectroscopic, microscopic, and in silico approaches to characterize their binding.

Evaluating Phytochemical Profiles, Cytotoxicity, Antiviral Activity, Antioxidant Potential, and Enzyme Inhibition of Extracts.

In the present study, we performed comprehensive LC-MS chemical profiling and biological tests of leaves and stem bark extracts of different polarities. In total, 60 bioactive compounds were tentatively identified in all extracts. The 80% ethanolic stem bark extract exhibited the highest activity in the ABTS assay, equal to 551.

Effects of Extract on Trypsin, Cathepsin B and Collagenase Activities and Textural Changes in Chilled .

Texture is an important sensory attribute for overall quality and consumer acceptance of prawns. However, texture is affected during cold storage due to the proteolytic activity of endogenous proteases, resulting in poor quality and a short shelf life. The objective of this study is to determine the inhibitory effects of leaves extract (AMLE) (0, 3, 10 and 20%) on the trypsin, cathepsin B and collagenase activities extracted from the cephalothorax of .

Quantification of Urbanization Using Night-Time Light Intensity in Relation to Women's Overnutrition in Bangladesh.

Urbanization is accelerating in developing countries, which are simultaneously experiencing a rise in the prevalence of overnutrition (i.e., overweight and obesity), specifically among women.

Antifouling Potential of Ethyl Acetate Extract of Marine Bacteria Strain RLimb.

Biofouling is defined as the excessive colonization process of epibiotic organisms, ranging from microfoulers to macrofoulers, on any submerged surface in water. Previous research has attempted to explore the antifouling activity of bacterial isolates due to the biofouling problems occurring worldwide. One solution is to inhibit the early stage of fouling using secondary metabolites produced by marine bacteria.

Health-related quality of life amongst children with chronic kidney disease in Malaysia: performance of the Bahasa Melayu version of the PedsQL 3.0 ESRD Module : (PedsQL 3.0 VerBATIM: version in Bahasa Melayu. Translated for use in Malaysia).

Background: The PedsQL 3.0 End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Module is a well-accepted instrument internationally but it is not available in the local language. We aimed to validate the Bahasa Melayu (Malay language) version and determine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores amongst children with CKD in Malaysia.
