In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were synthesized from celery stalks to be used as the platform for quercetin delivery. Additionally, CNCs and CNCs-quercetin were characterized using the results of scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and zeta potential, while their interactions with human holo-transferrin (HTF) were also investigated. We examined their interaction under physiological conditions through the exertion of fluorescence, resonance light scattering, synchronized fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer techniques.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of WPV against HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: This study was conducted according to the PRISMA guideline, and its protocol was registered at the PROSPERO under the code of CRD42021285558.
Background: This study aimed to undertake linguistic validation and assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (IR-ADDQoL) questionnaire in Iranian patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The gold-standard linguistic-validation procedure required by the developer of the ADDQoL (see https://www.healthpsychologyresearch.
Article Synopsis
- Electrolyte imbalances, particularly with serum phosphate levels, are linked to worse outcomes for hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
- A study analyzed data from 1,349 COVID-19 patients and found that those with low or high phosphate levels had significantly different median survival times (14 days for low, 25 days for normal, and 8 days for high).
- The research indicates that both low (hypophosphatemia) and high (hyperphosphatemia) phosphate levels are associated with increased mortality risk, suggesting the need for enhanced medical care for these patients.
Background: Subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (SAGT) is an inflammatory disease due to viral infections. Glucocorticoids, especially prednisolone (PSL), are one of the first approaches in the treatment of patients with SAGT. To date, no study has determined the lowest effective dose of prednisolone with the lowest recurrence rate in the treatment of SAGT.
