Micro-computed tomography assessment of osteochondral microstructural properties of the distal femur and proximal tibia was comprehensively conducted to compare adult patients with knee rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA),...

Retrogressive succession alters soil conditions and microbial community dynamics in cold-region wetlands, yet its ecological implications remain understudied. This study explored the structure and function of soil microbial communities across three s...

Dynamic knee valgus is a biomechanical condition often linked to an increased risk of knee injuries, particularly in female athletes, due to greater hip adduction, internal rotation, and knee abduction during dynamic movements. This study aimed to as...

This study investigated the prevalence of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) in the Croatian cystic fibrosis (CF) population, the age at diagnosis, insulin requirements, and the relationship between age at diagnosis and other clinical parameters...

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common and serious valvular disease in older adults, often leading to increased left ventricular mass (LVM) due to pressure overload. Excessive LVM is linked to adverse outcomes, but its sex-specific prognostic significance...

Microalgae have evolved a diverse carotenoid profile, enabling efficient light harvesting and photoprotection. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of genome editing in the green algal model species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, leading to...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease, linked closely to metabolic syndrome and rising obesity rates. Affecting up to 37% of the global adult population, MASLD prevalence is exc...

Aim: This case report presents an unusual instance of bilateral choroidal effusion following the oral administration of acetazolamide for the treatment of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME). Case Presentation: An 87-year-old Caucasian man expe...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a well-established treatment for severe aortic stenosis across all levels of surgical risk. While transfemoral access remains the default approach, complications arising from vascular access&md...

The effects of proline co-solvent on helix folding are explored through the single discrete coordinate of the number of helical hydrogen bonds. The analysis is based on multi-microsecond length molecular dynamics simulations of alanine-based helix-fo...
