Article Synopsis
- Poor ovarian response (POR) affects women over 35 with low ovarian reserve, making it hard to achieve live births; this study tests astaxanthin as a treatment to improve outcomes.
- 60 POR patients underwent a trial, receiving either astaxanthin or a placebo while monitoring various oxidative stress and inflammation markers.
- Results showed that the astaxanthin group had better serum antioxidant levels and lower inflammatory markers, though no main differences were found in follicular fluid; this suggests astaxanthin might help with ovarian response in ART.
Frailty assessment and outcomes in primary care for patients with diabetes during Ramadan: implications for risk evaluation and care plans.
Front Med (Lausanne)
September 2024
Background: Frailty is a critical concern for older adults, impacting their susceptibility to adverse events and overall quality of life. This study aimed to determine the frailty status of patients 60 years or older in Abu Dhabi Ambulatory Healthcare Services (AHS) and assess its relation to the stress exerted by Ramadan fasting and the occurrence of any adverse outcomes.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, participants were included if the attending physicians used the IDF-DAR risk stratification assessment tool.
Article Synopsis
- Liquid metal catalysts, particularly liquid copper, have become important in efficiently synthesizing high-quality graphene through chemical vapor deposition, but the catalytic processes behind this are not well understood.
- This study combines experimental observations and computational modeling to analyze how graphene grows on the liquid copper catalyst, particularly focusing on the effect of pressure ratios and temperatures on growth rates and shapes of graphene flakes.
- Findings suggest that the growth mechanisms differ from those on solid catalysts, with factors like precursor attachment and availability playing key roles in enhancing graphene quality due to the unique properties of the liquid state.
Psoriasis is a common chronic skin condition characterized by erythematous plaques with silvery scales. Several small studies have shown the beneficial effects of peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis on severe psoriasis cases that were refractory to different therapies even without renal impairment. On the other hand, new onset psoriasis after the initiation of hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients has been rarely reported.

This is achieved by employing a higher-energy X-ray beam to access Miller indices of reflecting crystal atomic planes that are three times higher than usual. The deviation from the exact Bragg angle condition induced by misalignment between the X-ray beam axis and the main rotation axis of the double-crystal deflector is calculated, and a fast and straightforward procedure to align them is deduced.
