AIM: The increased morbidity and mortality due to type 2 diabetes can be partly due to its delayed diagnosis. In developing countries, the cost and unavailability of conventional screening methods can be a setback. Use of random...
Pharmacological inhibition of platelet collagen interaction is a promising therapeutic strategy to treat intra-vascular thrombosis. S007-867 is a novel synthetic inhibitor of collagen-induced platelet aggregation. It has shown...
Abstract: Aims/hypothesis: This randomised controlled trial was performed in India and the UK in people with prediabetes to study whether mobile phone short message service (SMS) text messages can be used to motivate and educate...

Iterative liver injury results in progressive fibrosis disrupting hepatic architecture, regeneration potential, and liver function. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are a major source of pathological matrix during fibrosis and are...
mRNA vaccines have been established as a promising alternative to conventional vaccines over the last decade. mRNA therapeutics do not use inactivated viruses, which makes them non-immunogenic, easily degradable and without...
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a deeply enigmatic psychiatric condition associated with immense suffering worldwide. Efficacious therapies for OCD, like exposure and response prevention (ERP), are sometimes poorly...
Nonlinear optical properties, such as two-(or multi-) photon absorption (2PA), are of special interest for technologically important applications in fast optical switching, in vivo imaging and so on. Highly intense infrared...
The light environment controls the swimming of microalgae through a light-seeking and avoiding behaviour, which is known as phototaxis. In this work, we exploit phototaxis to control the migration and concentration of...
BACKGROUND: Stem cell regeneration is the holy grail of meniscal tissue repair. Currently, the best treatment is to preserve the original meniscus but if it fails, a partial meniscectomy is indicated to delay the onset of...
This paper intends to consider a multi-objective problem for expansion planning in Power Distribution System (PDS) by focusing on (i) expansion strategy (ii) allocation of Circuit Breaker (CB), (iii) allocation of Distribution...

Single-step inkjet printing infiltration with doped ceria Ce0.9Ye0.1O1.95 (YDC) and cobalt oxide (CoxOy) precursor inks was performed in order to modify the properties of the doped ceria interlayer in commercial (50 × 50 × 0.5...
One type of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by contamination fears and compulsive cleansing. Few effective treatments are available for this debilitating condition. Compulsive symptoms, such as excessive...
Instruction set extension of FPGA based reconfigurable processors provides an effective means to meet the increasingly strict design constraints of embedded systems. We have shown in our previous works [20,21] that the usage of...
Ag3PO4 photocatalyst has attracted interest of the scientific community in recent times due to its reported high efficiency for water oxidation and dye degradation. However, Ag3PO4 photo-corrodes if electron accepter such as...
