In our previous work, we have discussed the importance of neurofilaments in determination of the age of brain contusions. The purpose of this paper is to examine a possibility of angiogenesis-related assessment of the age of brain contusions by means of morphometric analysis of the CD34 expression in the contused sites. The researched material comprised 90 cases divided into nine groups according to the time of death: immediately on the spot, 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, and 7 days after the head trauma. Immunohistochemically stained CD34 antigen was evaluated quantitatively with the Met-Ilo application. The results were then tested statistically for any regularities. Generally, there was a tendency to increase both the number of blood vessels and blood vessels area fraction in time. The results of Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed that numbers of blood vessels were significantly different in the first seven days after the head trauma, but significance levels of specific sample pairs, as calculated by Dunn's test, were not statistically significant. Thus, the conclusion is that the proposed method is of no considerable value in determination of the age of brain contusions.

Energy availability and macronutrient intake over a 7-day training period in adolescent rugby players.

J Sports Med Phys Fitness

January 2025

Research Unit on Youth, Physical Activity, Sports and Health (J-AP2S), University of Toulon, Toulon, France.

Background: Understanding the dietary intake of elite adolescent athletes and its adequacy with sport nutrition recommendation is a key issue for health and player development, as well as performance and recovery. Energy availability needs to be considered to ensure optimal health and performance in young athletes. The present study aimed to quantify energy availability, energy expenditure and macronutrient intake in young male rugby union players competing at national level.

Nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors are promising approaches for environmental monitoring, food safety, and medical diagnostics. However, developing novel nanozymes that exhibit high catalytic activity, good dispersion in aqueous solution, high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability is challenging. In this study, for the first time, single-atom iridium-doped carbon dot nanozymes (SA Ir-CDs) are synthesized via a simple in situ pyrolysis process.

EEfficient methods for isolating N-glycans are essential to understanding the functions and characteristics of the entire N-glycome. Enzymatic release using PNGaseF is the most effective approach for releasing mammalian N-glycans for analytical purposes. However, the use of PNGaseF for preparative N-glycan isolation is precluded due to the enzyme's cost and limited stability.

The impact of heteroresistance on tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes is unclear, as is the role of different rifampin and isoniazid exposures on developing resistance mutations. Hollow fiber system model of TB (HFS-TB) units were inoculated with drug-susceptible () and treated with isoniazid and rifampin exposure identified in a clinical trial as leading to treatment failure and acquired drug resistance. Systems were sampled for drug concentration measurements, estimation of total and drug-resistant , and small molecule overlapping reads (SMOR) analysis for the detection of heteroresistance.
