Overview of porous magnesium-based scaffolds: development, properties and biomedical applications.

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are revolutionizing the field of interventional surgeries in the medical industry. Their high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and a similar elastic modulus to natural bone make porous Mg-based structures potential candidates for orthopedic implants and tissue engineering scaffolding. However, fabricating and machining porous Mg-based structures is challenging due to their complexity and difficulties in achieving uniform or gradient porosity.

The association between the Glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms and addiction to opioids and methamphetamine in the Iranian population.

Introduction: Glutathione S-transferase (GST) has the ability to detoxify the cellular environment of xenobiotic compounds and by-products of oxidative stress. The expression levels of GST genes and their polymorphisms are associated with various human diseases. Methamphetamine and opiate addiction also account for a significant proportion of SUDs in Iran.

PVP-assisted MOF-derived FeO/C powders for microwave absorption applications.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) derived porous FeO/C powders were applied for absorption of microwaves in the frequency range of 1-18 GHz. The effects of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) additive on the synthesis of MIL101-(Fe) precursor were studied by various characterization methods. By adding PVP, the impure hematite phase (α-FeO) with magnetite phase (FeO) was disappeared and the particular morphology was transformed to the porous rod-like, leading to the increase of specific surface area from 150 to 282 m/g.

Advances in electrochemical sensors for naproxen detection: Mechanisms, performance factors, and emerging challenges.

Naproxen (NAP), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic drug, has fewer side effects than similar drugs due to its aryl acetic acid structure. For this reason, it is widely prescribed to manage fever, short-term and long-term pain, and musculoskeletal disorders. However, its use has complications such as changes in kidney function, severe gastrointestinal lesions, and increased bleeding after surgery.

On the existence of solutions to fractional differential equations involving Caputo -derivative in Banach spaces.

The generalization of BVPs always covers a wide range of equations. Our choice in this research is the generalization of Caputo-type fractional discrete differential equations that include two or more fractional -integrals. We analyze the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the multi-point nonlinear BVPs base on fixed point theory, including fixed point theorem of Banach, Leray-nonlinear Schauder's alternative, and Leray-degree Schauder's theory.

Luffa-Ni/Al layered double hydroxide bio-nanocomposite for efficient ibuprofen removal from aqueous solution: Kinetic, equilibrium, thermodynamic studies and GEP modeling.

Effect of atorvastatin gel in non-surgical treatment of peri-implant mucositis: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, are inflammatory conditions caused by biofilms that can lead to the loss of surrounding soft tissues and bone. The most effective treatment involves non-surgical mechanical debridement to remove plaque, but other treatment modalities have shown limited success. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of atorvastatin (ATV) gel as an additional treatment for peri-implant mucositis.

Rapid mimetic micro-contact nano-fluorosensor based on molecularly imprinted polymers for the detection of amygdalin in biological matrices.

In this study, a mimetic fluorescence nanosensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer was designed for the detection of amygdalin (AMG). Its characteristics and functional performance were investigated and recorded using ATR-FTIR, AFM and porosity tests. This designed sensor is considered superior to other reported techniques due to its low material consumption during both manufacturing and operation as well as its low cost and desirable performance characteristics, such as short response time, high stability and an appropriate detection limit.

The effect of consecutive ejaculation on the sperm parameters in the oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia (OAT) men.

Recently, the World Health Organization recommendation for abstinence time for semen analysis has been challenged in some studies and many of them have supported the advantages of a second short abstinence ejaculation. More evidence is needed to approve this for clinical use. This study aimed to compare the average routine abstinence time (2-7 days) with the short time (1-2 h) on sperm quality based on functional parameters in a population of oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia (OAT) men.
