Metrics of impulsiveness of manual chest compressions for out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Aim
Propose new metrics of impulsiveness of manual chest compressions (CCs) that account for shape and duration, separate the characteristics of the compressive part of the CC cycle from those of the recoil part, and ...
Enhancing regenerative medicine with self-healing hydrogels: A solution for tissue repair and advanced cyborganic healthcare devices
(Elsevier, 2024-07)
Considering the global burden related to tissue and organ injuries or failures, self-healing hydrogels may be an attractive therapeutic alternative for the future. Self-healing hydrogels are highly hydrated 3D structures ...
Metals, nonmetals and metalloids in cigarette smoke as hazardous compounds for human health
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
Cigarette smoke contains many chemicals that are harmful to both smokers and non-smokers. Breathing just a little cigarette smoke can be harmful. There are >7000 chemicals in cigarette smoke, at least 250 are known to be ...
Columnar liquid crystals based on antiaromatic expanded porphyrins
(RSC, 2024-03)
Three naphthorosarins, antiaromatic expanded porphyrins bearing different meso substituents (NRos 1–3), designed to self-assemble into columnar liquid crystalline (LC) structures, were synthesized and characterized using ...
Candida albicans cDNA library screening reveals novel potential diagnostic targets for invasive candidiasis
(Elsevier, 2024-07)
The detection of patterns associated with the invasive form of Candida albicans, such as Candida albicans germ tube antibodies (CAGTA), is a useful complement to blood culture for Invasive Candidiasis (IC) diagnosis. As ...
Exploring chemical reactions to enhance thermal and dispersion stability of kraft and organosolv lignin
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Lignin has been overlooked and used as a waste for long due to its complex and partially hydrophobic structure. Many efforts have been carried out to overcome these deficiencies and apply it as a high-value product, which ...
Review on the matching conditions for the tidal problem: towards the application to more general contexts
(Springer Nature, 2024-04)
The tidal problem is used to obtain the tidal deformability (or Love number) of stars. The semi-analytical study is usually treated in perturbation theory as a first order perturbation problem over a spherically symmetric ...
MLe-KCNQ2: An Artificial Intelligence Model for the Prognosis of Missense KCNQ2 Gene Variants
(MDPI, 2024-03-02)
Despite the increasing availability of genomic data and enhanced data analysis procedures, predicting the severity of associated diseases remains elusive in the absence of clinical descriptors. To address this challenge, ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of the calmodulin-induced α-helix in the SK2 calcium-gated potassium ion channel
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
The family of small-conductance Ca2+-activated potassium ion channels (SK channels) is composed of four members (SK1, SK2, SK3, and SK4) involved in neuron-firing regulation. The gating of these channels depends on the ...
Harnessing the intragenomic variability of rRNA operons to improve differentiation of Vibrio species
(Nature, 2024)
Although the 16S rRNA gene is frequently used as a phylogenetic marker in analysis of environmental DNA, this marker often fails to distinguish closely related species, including those in the genus Vibrio. Here, we investigate ...
