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
Transcutaneous medial fixation sutures for free flap inset after robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy
The application of minimal invasive mastectomy has allowed surgeons to perform nipplesparing mastectomy via a shorter, inconspicuous incision under clear vision and with more precise hemostasis.However, it poses new challenges in microsurgical breast reconstruction, such as vascular anastomosis and flap insetting, which are considerably more diffic
Hazard Assessment of Polymeric Nanobiomaterials for Drug Delivery: What Can We Learn From Literature So Far
The physicochemical properties of nanobiomaterials, such as their small size and high surface area ratio, make them attractive, novel drug-carriers, with increased cellular interaction and increased permeation through several biological barriers.However, these same properties hinder any extrapolation of knowledge from the toxicity of their raw mate
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
