Daily vitamin D supplementation using higher than normal dosing (up to the upper limit value) and intermittent (once or twice per week) dosing were studied in patients with increased risk of vitamin D deficiency. Using a PubMed database, a thorough s...
Aim: Malaria in pregnancy is a global health problem because it causes anemia in the mother and may result in abortion, stillbirth, uterine growth retardation, and low birth weight in the newborn. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects o...
This study focuses on using constant and ramp cyclic processes to evaluate the performance of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) copolymer with electron beam irradiation cross-linking. The main objective of this study is to compare the...
In South Korea, because of manpower and budgetary limitations, antimicrobial stewardship programs have relied on preauthorization. This study analyzed the impact of a prospective audit and feedback (PAF) program targeting inpatients undergoing interm...
Despite the efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA, its safety profile remains a concern. This meta-analysis reviewed the major adverse events (AEs) associated with intravesical onabotulinumtoxinA treatment in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (...
Heterogeneous catalysis ozonation technology can achieve efficient treatment of refractory organics in industrial wastewater due to its advantages including fast reaction speed, high ozone utilization rate, low catalyst loss and low cost and has a br...
The performance of chitosan in flocculating kaolin suspensions was investigated. A real-time suspended solid (SS) concentration measuring method was applied. The influence of pH was examined from 2.0 to 13.0. The optimal pH value for low-grade (100 m...
Olive oil (OO) has longstanding significance in human history, particularly in the Mediterranean region, where it has been a cornerstone of diet, economy, and culture. This history adds to modern evidence-based knowledge. Background: The Mediterranea...
Background: Vancomycin is widely used for empirical antimicrobial therapy in critically ill patients with sepsis. Continuous infusion (CI) may provide more stable exposure than intermittent infusion, but optimal dosing remains challenging. The aims o...

The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of selective α1-blockers in children with neurogenic urinary tract dysfunctions and increased leak point pressure (LPP). 14 children from age 6 to 16 years with neurogenic urinary tract dysfunctions...
Zeolites were modified by high-temperature roasting and chitosan loading, respectively. As a result, activated zeolite and chitosan-loading natural zeolite were obtained. They were used for the treatment of the micro-polluted irrigation water quality...
Background/Objectives: Paediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is characterised by recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep, manifesting as snoring, intermittent oxygen desaturation, and frequent nocturnal awakenings. Standard tr...
Introduction: Studies indicate a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in both the general population and at-risk groups. Given the association between vitamin D deficiency and various diseases, addressing this concern becomes crucial, especially i...
The effect of the microstructure of hydrophilic polypropylene (PP) fibers in the distribution of cracking associated with the strengthening and toughening mechanism of cement-based composites under tensile loading was studied. Using a filament windin...
Enteral nutrition (EN) has been reported to have some physiological importance for critically ill patients. However, the advantage of EN over parenteral nutrition remains controversial in recent paradigms. To maximize the benefits and efficiency of E...
In this study, amino group surface-functionalized porous silicon adsorbent was successfully prepared for the first time using diamond wire saw silicon powder (DWSSP) as raw material through copper-assisted chemical etching (Cu-ACE) and organic functi...
Carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation during prolonged exercise postpones fatigue. However, the optimum administration timing, dosage, type of CHO intake, and possible interaction of the ergogenic effect with athletes’ cardiorespiratory fitness (C...
Due to the specificity, high efficiency, and gentleness of enzyme catalysis, the industrial utilization of enzymes has attracted more and more attention. Immobilized enzymes can be recovered/recycled easily compared to their free forms. The primary b...
Arsenic contamination in groundwater threatens public health, particularly in small, low-income communities lacking affordable treatment solutions. This study investigated the field implementation of novel air cathode assisted iron electrocoagulation...
In the post-rituximab era, patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (R/R B-NHL) responding to a platinum salt-based salvage regimen can potentially be cured after intensification followed by autologous stem cell transplantation,...
Introduction: Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) has been associated with improvements in the negative symptoms (NSs) of schizophrenia. However, optimizing by shorter protocols remains necessary. Furthermore, understanding their impact on ot...
The experiences of youth with high-risk glycaemic control using intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) systems are not well known. In the context of a randomised controlled trial investigating a 6-month isCGM intervention, this...
Background/Objectives: Caffeine is widely recognized as an ergogenic aid, yet evidence regarding its acute effects on repeated sprint ability (RSA) remains inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of acute...
