In the present investigation, the corrosion tendency of mild steel under acidic pH was studied by employing unused expired amiodarone (EAD) drug as a potential corrosion inhibitor by adopting the weight loss measurement method. The corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) of the formed protective film (EAD) on the steel surface was analyzed using potentiodynamic polarization and AC-impedance spectroscopy studies. The surface morphology of the mild steel before and after corrosion (in 1.

However, the effects of body compression on the cardiac autonomic systems, which control heart rate, remain unclear. The primary objective of this study was to compare heart rate variability, a reflection of cardiac autonomic regulation, during a head-up tilt test with and without abdominal and lower-extremity compression in healthy young individuals.

The aim of this study is to determine the global prevalence of back pain in pregnancy based on a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: In this study, Researchers systematically searched electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar search engines for studies until September 2023.
Although direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are generally safe and TDM is not required, blood levels of the drug are important information for response decisions in emergency care. In this study, an attempt was made to develop a disposable sensor chip for the rapid detection of edoxaban in blood, a type of DOAC. Molecularly imprinted polymers with edoxaban tosilate as a template and sodium p-styrene sulfonate as a functional monomer were grafted onto the surface of graphite particles, mixed with silicon oil dissolved in ferrocene to form a paste, and filled onto a substrate made of plastic film.
