<strong>Background & Objective:</strong>  Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety reaction, which occurs as a result of encountering a seriously traumatic event during one’s lifetime. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of saffron aqueous extract and crocin on spatial memory and learning with the Barnes maze in a PTSD model on male Wistar rats (Weighting 200–250 gr). <strong>Materials & Methods:</strong>  Wistar rats (n=48) were randomly divided into two groups: PTSD and non-PTSD.

Abstract:

Microarray technology has become employed widely for biological researchers to identify genes associated with conditions such as diseases and drugs. To date, many methods have been developed to analyze data covering a large number of genes, but they focus only on statistical significance and cannot decipher the data with biological concepts. Gene Ontology (GO) is utilized to understand the data with biological interpretation; however, it is restricted to specific ontology such as biological process, molecular function, and cellular component.

Abstract:

Background: Ventral hernias, either spontaneous or post-surgical, represent a significant challenge in surgical practice. The recurrence rates after primary tissue repair, especially in larger hernias, necessitate the use of tension-free mesh repairs. However, the choice between onlay and sublay mesh repair methods remains a subject of debate, with each technique having its own set of advantages and drawbacks.

Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) is a leading contender for processing extra-terrestrial minerals because it produces oxygen and liquid metal without the use of consumables. During electrolysis a gravitational field stratifies gas, electrolyte, and metal from each other by density. Processing on the moon, with ~1/6g, or Mars, with ~1/3g, will reduce the buoyancy force slowing bubble velocity and lowering convection intensity.

Abstract:

25 Background: Observational studies have suggested that metformin, commonly used for diabetes treatment that increases insulin sensitivity and improves glycemic control, decreases the incidence of several common cancers. However, findings regarding metformin and breast cancer incidence have been mixed. To explore this issue, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis were performed with a focus on potential biases. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search for all pertinent studies addressing metformin use and breast cancer risk by searching Pub Med, Cochrane Library, Scop

Abstract:

When comparing two independent groups, shift functions are basically techniques that compare multiple quantiles rather than a single measure of location, the goal being to get a more detailed understanding of how the distributions differ. Various versions have been proposed and studied. This paper deals with extensions of these methods to main effects and interactions in a between-by-between, 2-by-2 design. Two approaches are studied, one that compares the deciles of the distributions, and one that has a certain connection to the Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney method. There are many quantile estimators

Abstract:

Alkaline water electrolysis is one of the important methods for generating high purity hydrogen. Alkaline electrolysis, because of the possibility of using relatively inexpensive electrode materials, is more economical than hydrolysis in acidic medium; the medium is also less corrosive. The challenges in water electrolysis in general are to reduce the cost, energy consumption and maintenance, hence increase the efficiency of the overall process. An important consideration in the above is the separator between the two electrode compartments, which has to be such that it minimizes (or eliminates

Bearing capacity of saturated soils can be estimated using effective or total stress approaches extending the concepts proposed by Terzaghi (1943) and Skempton (1948), respectively. Recent studies have shown that similar approaches (i.e., Modified Effective Stress Approach, MESA and Modified Total Stress Approach, MTSA) can be used for interpretation and prediction of the bearing capacity of unsaturated soils by considering the influence of matric suction. However, comprehensive discussion for the application of the MESA and the MTSA in geotechnical engineering practice applications is lacking

Using a multiple-scale expansion for two crossing wave groups, we examine the structure and magnitude of this wave-averaged set-up, which is part of a crossing wave pattern that behaves as a modulated partial standing wave: in space, it consists of a rapidly varying standing-wave pattern slowly modulated by the product of the envelopes of the two groups; in time, it

The upregulation of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand-1/2 (PDL-1) axis is a major immune escape pathway in multiple malignancies including classical hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Disruption of PD1-PDL1/2 pathway using checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) leads to reactivation of immune cells to attack malignant cells. CPIs have been studied in cHL in different settings.

In this paper, our focus is to assure a global frequency synchronization in OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks with local information.

Experimental results show that DFS achieves noteworthy better synchronization success probability than existing schemes in OFDMA-based mesh networks where the estimation error is pre

The focus is on the deposition of amorphous (a)‐TiO2 films with tubular furnace temperature and mesh bias as variables. When the furnace temperature reaches 350 °C, the number density of mist particles increases without significant changes in their size distribution, leading to a higher film deposition rate.
