hydrothermal synthesis of nickel cobalt sulfide nanoparticles embedded on nitrogen and sulfur dual doped graphene for a high performance supercapacitor electrode.

Nickel cobalt sulfide nanoparticles (NCS) embedded onto a nitrogen and sulfur dual doped graphene (NS-G) surface are successfully synthesized a two-step facile hydrothermal process. The electrical double-layer capacitor of NS-G acts as a supporting host for the growth of pseudocapacitance NCS nanoparticles, thus enhancing the synergistic electrochemical performance. The specific capacitance values of 1420.

Tuning Brønsted and Lewis acidity on phosphated titanium dioxides for efficient conversion of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) derived from cellulosic sugars has become increasingly important as a platform chemical for the biorefinery industry because of its versatility in the conversion to other chemicals. Although HMF can be produced in high yield from fructose dehydration, fructose is rather expensive because it requires multiple processing steps. On the other hand, HMF can be produced directly from highly abundant glucose, which could reduce time and cost.

Successful hemostasis by percutaneous transhepatic cyanoacrylate injection for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm causing hemobilia.

A 73-year-old man, post-liver transplantation, was scheduled for ERCP to evaluate anastomotic biliary stricture. The patient developed massive bleeding from hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. Angiography via femoral artery could not identified feeding artery of the pseudoaneurysm.

Severe hyponatremia as the presenting manifestation of primary empty sella syndrome.

Severe hyponatremia is associated with neurological impairment and mortality. Furthermore, severe hyponatremia can be the first presentation of several diseases. Therefore, an appropriate investigation for the underlying causes of hyponatremia apart from the proper correction of sodium levels, might lead to a diagnosis of occult diseases.

The Influence of Obesity, Ovariectomy, and Greenshell Mussel Supplementation on Bone Mineral Density in Rats.

Obesity is considered to impair long-term health by disturbing multiple physiological functions. However, it remains a controversial issue as to whether obesity has beneficial or detrimental effects on bone health in postmenopausal women. The aims of this study were to investigate the relationships between obesity and bone mineral density (BMD) under conditions of ovarian hormone deficiency in an animal model and to evaluate the potential health benefits of Greenshell mussel (GSM) on bone health.

Rediscovering the dancing semislug genus Collinge, 1902 (Eupulmonata, Ariophantidae) from Thailand with description of two new species.

Knowledge of Thai semislugs remains scarce, especially the dancing semislug genus Prior to the present study, only a single species has been recognized with little available information. To address this knowledge gap, we surveyed for semislugs in western and southern Thailand, which yielded three species belonging to the genus . The little-known type species is redescribed herein, including a comparison with the type specimens.

Different responses of soil respiration to environmental factors across forest stages in a Southeast Asian forest.

Soil respiration (SR) in forests contributes significant carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial ecosystems and is highly sensitive to environmental changes, including soil temperature, soil moisture, microbial community, surface litter, and vegetation type. Indeed, a small change in SR may have large impacts on the global carbon balance, further influencing feedbacks to climate change. Thus, detailed characterization of SR responses to changes in environmental conditions is needed to accurately estimate carbon dioxide emissions from forest ecosystems.

Tiletamine/zolazepam and dexmedetomidine with tramadol provide effective general anesthesia in rats.

Background: Tiletamine/zolazepam is a dissociative anesthetic combination commonly used in small animals but information is limited in rats. The alpha-2 agonist, dexmedetomidine, has gained popularity in laboratory animal anesthesia. Tramadol is a weak opioid mu agonist.

Multimodality treatment in immunocompromised patients with severe COVID-19: the role of IL-6 inhibitor, intravenous immunoglobulin, and haemoperfusion.

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is known to be associated with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Multiple anti-inflammatory therapies such as tocilizumab, corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and haemoadsorption or haemoperfusion have been used to combat this life-threatening condition. However, immunocompromised hosts are often omitted from research studies, and knowledge on the clinical efficacy of these therapies in immunocompromised patients is therefore limited.

Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Provide Less Adverse Renal Outcomes Than Warfarin In Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and MetaAnalysis.

Background Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have better pharmacologic properties than warfarin and are recommended in preference to warfarin in most patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Besides lower bleeding complications, other advantages of NOACs over warfarin particularly renal outcomes remain inconclusive. Methods and Results Electronic searches were conducted through Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Library databases, and ClinicalTrial.

Mesenchymal stem cells for restoring endometrial function: An infertility perspective.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be derived from several tissues such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, or endometrial tissue. MSCs gain a lot of attention for cell-based therapy due to their characteristics including differentiation ability and immunomodulatory effect. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrated that MSCs can be applied to treat female infertility by improving of the functions of ovary and uterus.

She was diagnosed with with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) chorioamnionitis and septic shock leading to signs of fetal distress. She underwent emergency caesarean section.

Taxonomic note on (Pfeiffer, 1863) from Laos, with a type catalogue of , , and (Heterobranchia, Camaenidae).

Land snail surveys conducted in northern Laos between 2013 and 2014 have led to the discovery of a living population of (Pfeiffer, 1863). This species has never been recorded from specimens other than the types, and its distribution and anatomy have remained essentially unknown. The genitalia and radula morphology are documented here for the first time and employed to re-assess the systematic position of this species: the unique morphological characters of are a penis similar in length to the vagina, a small and triangular penial verge, gametolytic organs extending as far as the albumen gland, head wart present, and unicuspid triangular radula teeth.
