Profiling the broad antibody diversity of lymphatic filariasis immune antibody repertoire by deep sequencing.

Lymphatic filariasis is caused by infections of thread-like filarial worms, namely Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia Malayi and Brugia timori. However, in-depth analysis of the antibody repertoire against Lymphatic filariasis is lacking. Using high-throughput sequencing of antibody repertoires, immunome analysis of IgG (LG) and IgM (LM) repertoires were studied.

Thematic analysis of perceptions from both patients and dental students on a digital clinical decision aid in Prosthodontics: A qualitative study.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the impact of utilizing an innovative and comprehensive patient-centered digital clinical decision aid designed to facilitate shared decision-making in missing tooth replacement between dental students and their patients.

Methods: A qualitative study using interview approach was conducted in Hong Kong SAR and Malaysia. Thirty dental undergraduate students, each with one patient from the Faculty of Dentistry at XXX (n=15) and XXX (n=15), were introduced to a digitally designed decision aid in missing tooth replacement prior to their treatment appointments.

Comparative phenotypic and proteomic analysis of colistin-exposed .

Introduction: The emergence of colistin resistance threatens the treatment of infections.

Methods: In this study, in vitro development of colistin resistance was investigated using comparative phenotypic and proteomic analysis of ATCC 9027, its 14-day colistin sub-MIC exposed strain (Col-E1), and 10-day antibiotic-free cultured Col-E1 strain (Col-E2). Antibiotic susceptibility, morphology, virulence factors, and proteomic changes were assessed using disc-diffusion, agar-based, spectrophotometry, SEM, and iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS methods.

Var. and Extract Mixture Protects Against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Cyclophosphamide-Induced Immune Deficiency: Evidence.

Respiratory tract diseases (RTDs) cause airflow limitations and impaired respiratory function, primarily due to pulmonary inflammation and immune dysfunction. var. Kitamur and (CP) are traditional herbs known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing properties.

Impact of Synchronized Radiofrequency and High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation on Facial Muscles and the Superficial Fascial System in the Midface.

Background: Midfacial aging involves skeletal changes, muscle weakening, and fat redistribution, resulting in volume loss, skin sagging, and deepened nasolabial folds. High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) combined with Radiofrequency (RF) is a novel non-invasive method to address these changes by enhancing muscle mass and remodeling subcutaneous tissue.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy of HIFES and Synchronized RF in improving midfacial aesthetics, specifically muscle thickness, skin displacement, and facial volume.
