Analysis of Protein Oxidative Modifications in Follicular Fluid from Fertile Women: Natural Versus Stimulated Cycles
(MDPI, 2018-11-27)
Oxidative stress is associated with obstetric complications during ovarian hyperstimulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization. The follicular fluid contains high levels of proteins, which are the main targets of ...
Dexamethasone Protects Retinal Ganglion Cells But Not Muller Glia Against Hyperglycemia In Vitro
(Public Library Science, 2018-11-26)
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes, for which hyperglycemia is a major etiological factor. It is known that retinal glia (Muller cells) and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are affected by diabetes, ...
Legislation of direct-to-consumer genetic testing in Europe: a fragmented regulatory landscape
(Springer, 2018-04)
Despite the increasing availability of direct-to-c onsumer (DTC)genetic testing, it is currently unclear how such services are regulated in Europe, due to the lack of EU or national legislation specifically addressing this ...

(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
The contributions of green infrastructure (GI) to human well-being have been widely recognised; however, pathways for its systematic implementation are missing. Local governments can play a crucial role in the conservation ...
Immobilization of Polyoxometalates on Tailored Polymeric Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Herein we describe the preparation of hybrid polymer-inorganic interfaces by the immobilization of polyoxometalate nanoclusters on functionalized polymer surfaces. The polymeric surfaces were made of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic ...
Enhancing ventilation detection during cardiopulmonary resuscitation by filtering chest compression artifact from the capnography waveform
(Public Library Science, 2018-08-02)
Background
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), there is a high incidence of capnograms distorted by chest compression artifact. This phenomenon adversely affects the reliability of automated ventilation detection ...
Bee-Plant Relationship in Early Childhood: A Study through the Analysis of Children’s Drawings
(MDPI, 2018-10-30)
Bees play a key role for humans, since crops pollination relies heavily on them. However, bees’ population is diminishing dramatically. Therefore, conservation actions are needed to protect them, including educational ones. ...
Cohomological tautness of singular Riemannian foliations
(Springer, 2018-11-16)
For a Riemannian foliation F on a compact manifold M, J. A. Alvarez Lopez proved that the geometrical tautness of F, that is, the existence of a Riemannian metric making all the leaves minimal submanifolds of M, can be ...
