Multivariate analysis on the structure-activity parameters for nano CuO-catalyzed reduction reactions.

Understanding the origin of enhanced catalytic activity is critical to heterogeneous catalyst design. This is especially important for non-noble metal-based catalysts, notably metal oxides, which have recently emerged as viable alternatives for numerous thermal catalytic processes. For thermal catalytic reduction/hydrogenation using metal oxide nanoparticles, enhanced catalytic performance is typically attributed to increased surface area and oxygen vacancies.

Naoxintong Capsule attenuate heart damage after ischemic stroke via nuclear factor-κB / Pyrin domain-containing protein 3 / Caspase-1 signaling.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a major cause of mortality. Inflammation exerts an essential part of brain-heart communication after IS. Naoxintong capsules (NXT), derived from the classical Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulation Bu-Yang-Huan-Wu-Tang, are extensively employed in China to manage IS, myocardial infarction (MI), and atherosclerosis.

Disability and the Dermatology Patient- Part 2: Supporting Patients with Disabilities.

Dermatologic disease can result in disability. In part two of this continuing medical education (CME) article, we highlight disabilities that may result from dermatologic conditions. We introduce guidelines for caring for patients with disabilities including how to identify, assess, and document patients' disabilities and provide patient-centered care and support.

Disability and the Dermatology Patient- Part 1: Improving Access to Dermatologic Care.

Disability is common amongst dermatologic patients. Herein, we review the epidemiology of disability and terminology used to refer to patients with disabilities. We discuss different forms of disability, including cognitive, motor, visual and hearing, and review how dermatology practices can better accommodate patients with disabilities to optimize care.
