We have refined the census of stars and brown dwarfs in the Upper Sco association (~ 10 Myr, ~145 pc) by 1) updating the selection of candidate members from our previous survey to include the high-precision astrometry from the second data release of , 2) obtaining spectra of a few hundred candidate members to measure their spectral types and verify their youth, and 3) assessing the membership (largely with astrometry) of 2020 stars toward Upper Sco that show evidence of youth in this work and previous studies. We arrive at a catalog of 1761 objects that are adopted as members of Upper Sco. The distribution of spectral types among the adopted members is similar to those in other nearby star-forming regions, indicating a similar initial mass function. In previous studies, we have compiled mid-infrared photometry from and the for members of Upper Sco and used those data to identify the stars that show evidence of circumstellar disks; we present the same analysis for our new catalog of members. As in earlier work, we find that the fraction of members with disks increases with lower stellar masses, ranging from ≲ 10% for > 1 to ~ 22% for 0.01-0.3 . Finally, we have estimated the relative ages of Upper Sco and other young associations using their sequences of low-mass stars in versus - . This comparison indicates that Upper Sco is a factor of two younger than the Pic association (21-24 Myr) according to both non-magnetic and magnetic evolutionary models.

Gac fruit () belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. This study aimed to investigate the anti-memory impairment effect of Gac fruit aril extract and brain acetylcholinesterase activity in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). The behavioral test was performed using a color-biased appetite conditioning T-maze test and an inhibitory avoidance test to evaluate memory performance.

Open testicular biopsy histology and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) are the most popular tests used to diagnose male infertility. This study aimed to assess the cytological characteristics of 186 infertile males aged 24-63 with testicular FNAC. Furthermore, the existing relationship between males with severe oligospermia (sperm count: 5 million/ml) and azoospermia was investigated via both cytological and histological diagnosis methods.

Delayed functional recovery after injury is associated with significant personal and socioeconomic burden. Identification of patients at risk for a prolonged recovery after a musculoskeletal injury is thus of high relevance. The aim of the current study was to show the feasibility of using a machine learning assisted model to predict functional recovery based on the pre- and immediate post injury patient activity as measured with wearable systems in trauma patients.

This prospective method comparison study compared cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO) measurement performance of the new cerebral oximeter (NeurOs®, Mespere LifeSciences, Ontario, Canada) in comparison to the established INVOS 5100C® (Medtronic, Boulder, USA) cerebral oximeter. We performed measurements during different levels of carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO) during hyper- and hypoventilation and different levels of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO) induced by variation of the inspiratory fraction of oxygen (FiO). 59 anesthetized cardiac and vascular surgical patients were studied during hemodynamically stable conditions.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) turned into a pandemic shortly after emerging in December 2019, in the city of Wuhan, China. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the presence of severe acute respiratory system coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in various clinical samples and the scattering profile of the virus and the variation of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and neutralizing antibody levels over time in infected patients during and after the period of COVID-19 disease. The study included COVID-19 patients from the community (CCP) (n= 47) (May-June 2020) and healthcare workers (HCWP) (n= 30) (November-December 2020).
