Objective: Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the maximum displacement resistance of silicone samples adhered to human skin using different adhesives. For this purpose, colorless silicone samples (A-4530-HCRA Silicone Gum HCR) pigmented with Functional Intrinsic II Silicone Coloring System were made and distributed into five groups (1. SA specific adhesive for maxillofacial prostheses: Drying Adhesive; 2.

This study investigated the antimicrobial efficacy of a cell-free supernatant (CFS) and live cells from a mixture of Limosilactobacillus fermentum strains (139, 296, and 263). These strains are candidates for probiotic use and were evaluated against five STb virotype enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains. Antagonistic activities of L.

We compared postoperative opioid use, clinical outcomes, and respiratory function in lung transplant recipients treated with intercostal nerve cryoablation (INC) compared to those receiving standard pain management.
Methods: We reviewed all adult lung transplants performed at our center between January 2016 and December 2022.
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are toxic lesions that lead to genome instability. While canonical DSB repair pathways typically operate independently of RNA, emerging evidence suggests that RNA:DNA hybrids and transcripts near damaged sites can influence repair outcomes. However, a direct role for transcript RNA as a template during DSB repair in human cells is yet to be established.
