Green synthesized Ag/AgCl nanoparticles using Malva Sylvestris aqueous leaf extracts
Nanoparticles are molecular or atomic aggregations with a size range of 1-100 nm. Their physical and chemical properties are different from bulk materials with the same formula. They can be produced by chemical, physical and green methods;
Charme, the missing link in myogenesis
The central dogma of molecular biology stated that genes encode for proteins and that DNA, which makes up our genomes, mainly produces RNAs which are translated into proteins. However, the completion of the human genome sequence together
Can hidden Ectomyelois ceratonia infestation be detected non-destructively? NIR spectroscopy has a good answer for pomegranates
In recent decades, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been accepted as a powerful non-destructive testing (NDT) technology for quality assessment of most materials in most industries such as chemistry, medicine, agrofood, etc. This optical technology is rapid, safe,
Therapy of osteoporosis by the transdermal formulation based on raloxifene nanoparticles in ovariectomized rat
Osteoporosis results from insufficient post-menopausal estrogen levels and collapse of the balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and the osteoporosis is a common systemic skeletal condition that is related to low bone mineral density and pathological fractures. The
Early detection of “insulin balls” using ultrasonography
Diabetes patients often suffer from subcutaneous induration at insulin injection sites during insulin therapy. Among the different types of subcutaneous complications of insulin injection, lipohypertrophy and insulin-derived amyloidosis (IDA) are defined as tumor-like enlargements of adipose tissue
Novel drug treatment for human infection with H7N9- avian influenza A
The H7N9 subtype of avian influenza is an enzootic and airborne virus which caused an influenza outbreak in China. Infected individuals mostly worked with poultry, suggesting H7N9 virus-infected poultry as the primary source of human infection. Significantly
Cannabinoid receptors and incidental associations: a way to creativity?
Animals and humans adapt to changes in the environment through previous experiences. In our daily life, while we are engaged in a particular activity or social event, we are continuously surrounded by random associations between low salience
Prison break – How fungi escape from a hostile environment inside immune cells
Candida albicans is a commensal yeast of humans and colonizes ≈70% of the human population. It is common for C. albicans to cause self-limiting infections, but severe infections can be life-threatening. Invasive candidiasis occurs in patients with a
Painkillers to treat schizophrenia or dementia?
Schizophrenia affects about 1 % of general population and may significantly reduce life expectancy. Drug nonadherence remains a crucial problem in the pharmacotherapy of this disorder. Animal and clinical studies results suggest that abnormal kynurenic acid (KYNA)
Exercise echo: a diastolic and systolic function evaluation test for patients with dyspnea
Exercise echocardiography may be of interest for the assessment of patients with dyspnea. Dyspnea on effort may be an angina-like symptom, and in this case ischemia should be ruled out, or reflect diastolic dysfunction, and in this
The 11 Best Technology Tools for Researchers
Research is a meticulous, painstaking process. But thanks to the help of technology (https://www.bairesdev.com/insights/it-outsourcing-services/), the pain is lessened. No matter your field — whether it’s biology or computer science — there’s a tool out there to help you
Impulsivity and FFFS traits relate to resting frontal activity: Influence of experimenter’s gender
Gray’s revised reinforcement sensitivity theory (rRST) of personality postulates three main systems: the behavioral approach system (BAS), the fight-flight-freeze system (FFFS) and the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) which govern the two motivational systems. This theory has attracted
Carbon monoxide levels after use of heated tobacco products
Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are new tech devices that release nicotine and other volatile compounds into an inhalable aerosol by heating the tobacco. At their operating temperatures, tobacco combustion is unlikely. The aim of this randomized cross-over
Most common behavioral problems in people with dementia
With people all over the world living longer, more and more of them develop problems with brain functions. Some of these problems are mild, e.g. slight forgetfulness, but some may interfere with their daily activities, such as
How alcohol consumption might contribute to viral liver infections?
The coexistence between excessive alcohol consumption and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is causative of a high death ratio annually. It is well-known that phosphoinositides (PI) not only regulate a number of physiological processes but also they
Tumor regression in a high-mortality mouse pancreatic cancer (xenograft) model with aminosteroid RM-581
Pancreatic cancer is classified as a high-mortality cancer with a five-year relative survival rate of only 9%. Although most cancer type survival rates have improved over the past decades, pancreatic cancer morbidity has been stable, which illustrates

Europe Conferences is conducting “7th International Conference on Parasitology, Microbiology & Infection Control” which is going to be in the month of November 16-17, 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal. This assembling deals with around the two subjects: Parasitology
64Cu and 67Cu radionuclide to diagnose and treat of cancer: Experimental and theoretical Production yields
As the number of patients suffering from different cancers has been increased, researchers have evaluated several ways to diagnose and treat these abnormalities. In this regard, application of radionuclides is an interesting option through which some cancers
Bell ringers: Concussion problems in youth football players
Concussion has become an important topic in sports news and research. While researchers are studying the mental, physical, and emotional effects of concussion within professional, college, and high school athletes; the negative effects of concussion on youth
Health care utilization for chronic musculoskeletal pain risk: Lessons from the CRASH study
