Production of highly oxidized starch in a flow cell using a nickel anode.

This study emphasizes the potential of using sustainable and low-cost methods to process biopolymers, contributing to eco-friendly biorefinery technologies. In this context, the transformation of potato starch, a readily available biopolymer, into carboxylic acid starch (CAS) with high yield using an electrochemical process was achieved. As a result of the green transformation, the potato starch was oxidized into CAS, achieving 31 % oxidation of the available glycosyl groups.

The 1-minute sit-to-stand test to evaluate fibrotic interstitial lung disease.

Introduction: Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a heterogeneous group of conditions. Progression criteria include clinical, imaging, and/or lung functional decline. Currently, the 6-min walk test (6MWT) is considered the gold standard for assessing exercise-induced desaturation.

Bioreactor-produced iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neuron-containing neural microtissues innervate and normalize rotational bias in a dose-dependent manner in a Parkinson rat model.

A breadth of preclinical studies now support the rationale of pluripotent stem cell-derived cell replacement therapies to alleviate motor symptoms in Parkinsonian patients. Replacement of the primary dysfunctional cell population in the disease, i.e.

Knowledge and perception among adults of their congenital heart disease: A single center cross-sectional study.

Introduction And Objective: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a complex condition requiring a multidisciplinary approach. It is crucial that adults with CHD (CHD) have adequate knowledge of their condition, enabling them to engage in their healthcare decisions and self-management. We aimed to investigate knowledge and perception among adults of their CHD.
