Comparative evaluation of radiation shielding zero gravity vs lead apron in coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention

Introduction: Ensuring safety from radiation in catheterization labs is critical due to the cumulative nature of radiation exposure.This study compares the effectiveness of Zero Gravity (ZG) and conventional Lead Apron shields in coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods: Over six months, radiation exposure was assessed fo

Molecular interaction of TPPP with PrP antagonized the CytoPrP-induced disruption of microtubule structures and cytotoxicity.

BACKGROUND: Tubulin polymerization promoting protein/p25 (TPPP/p25), known as a microtubule-associated protein (MAP), is a brain-specific unstructured protein with a physiological function of stabilizing cellular microtubular ultrastructures.Whether TPPP involves in the normal functions of PrP or the pathogenesis of prion disease remains unknown.He
