We aimed to investigate whether pulsed magnetic fields (PMFs) (1 mT) may have preventive effects on myocardial damage and apoptosis in rats with sepsis. Twenty-eight adult Wistar albino rats were evenly distributed among four experimental groups, each consisting of seven rats: SH, LF-PMF, HF-PMF, and CLP. Sepsis induction was carried out via the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method, while rats in the LF-PMF and HF-PMF groups were exposed to 7.

- A new ferrocene-decorated cyclotriphosphazene compound was synthesized using the click method, confirming structures through various spectroscopic techniques.
- The optical band gaps of the compounds were measured, showing values ranging from 3.46 eV to 4.75 eV, with the final product exhibiting favorable electronic properties based on the hopping conduction mechanism.
- Diodes made from these compounds demonstrated excellent rectification behavior and photodiode properties under sunlight, suggesting potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
Introduction: To better target stroke awareness efforts (pre and post first stroke) and thereby decrease the time window for help-seeking, this study aims to assess quantitatively whether stroke awareness is associated with appropriate help-seeking at symptom onset, and to investigate qualitatively why this may (not) be the case.
Methods: This study conducted in a German regional stroke network comprises a convergent quantitative-dominant, hypothesis-driven mixed methods design including 462 quantitative patient questionnaires combined with qualitative interviews with 28 patients and seven relatives. Quantitative associations were identified using Pearson's correlation analysis.
Polystyrene nanoplastics (PS) require a comprehensive evaluation of their toxicity and potential risks to humans and the environment. The zebrafish model, a well-established animal model increasingly utilized for nanotoxicity assessments, was employed in this study. Our research aimed to explore the toxic effects of PS with sizes of 30, 100, 200, and 450 nm on zebrafish embryos.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of CAD on intracranial collateralization and infarct growth after thrombectomy in LVO.
Materials And Methods: All patients who underwent thrombectomy due to M1 segment occlusion from 01/2015 to 12/2021 were retrospectively included.
