Polyethylene biotransformation by an earthworm gut-derived Streptomyces sp.: insights into microenvironment-associated metabolism

Abstract Polyethylene (PE) is a highly recalcitrant polymer that resists microbial degradation owing to its hydrophobic and chemically inert structure. In this study, a Streptomyces sp. strain MH-1, isolated from the earthworm gut, was investigated for its interaction with PE und...

Viscoelastic and transfusion effects of residual cardiopulmonary bypass circuit blood reinfusion after coronary artery bypass surgery: a randomized controlled trial

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with perioperative blood loss, coagulation disturbances, and increased allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements. This study evaluated whether postoperative reinfusion of residual CPB circuit blood red...

Exploring Heritage via Child Narratives

This study examines how middle school students perceive and engage with cultural heritage in a historically rich urban environment. Adopting a mixed-method approach, the research combines questionnaire data with participatory methods, including drawing, photography, and in-class...

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Dithiocarbamate-Based Human Carbonic Anhydrase IX/XII Inhibitors as Potential Anti-Glioblastoma Agents

To develop human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) IX/XII-targeted therapeutics for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), novel dithiocarbamate (DTC)-based compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against hCA I, II, IX, and XII isoforms. The most potent hCA IX/XII i...

Functional Outcomes of Wedge Plate Versus Dynamic Hip Screw Applications in Adult Femoral Trochanteric Fractures: A Retrospective Review

Objective: To retrospectively compare the clinical and functional outcomes of wedge plate and dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation in adult patients with trochanteric femoral fractures.Methods: This retrospective comparative analysis included 64 hips in 63 patients aged 18-60 years w...

The Effects of Physical and Mind–Body Exercise on Anxiety Among Patients with Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Trials

Background and Objectives: Anxiety is highly prevalent among breast cancer patients and significantly impairs quality of life. Although both conventional physical exercise (PE) and mind–body interventions (MBE) are used in supportive care, their relative efficacy remains unclear....

Experimental investigation on the seismic behavior of corroded liquid-filled steel storage tanks retrofitted with friction pendulum base isolation systems

Steel storage tanks operating in corrosive environments become increasingly vulnerable to earthquake-induced damage due to corrosion-induced deterioration. This study experimentally investigates the structural and seismic behavior of hydrochloric acid-corroded liquid-filled steel...

Anterior Repositioning Splints in the Management of Temporomandibular Disc Displacement: A Network Meta‐Analysis

ABSTRACT Background Anterior repositioning splints (ARS) are widely used for disc displacement with reduction, but their comparative effectiveness against other conservative and minimally invasive treatments remains unquantified within a network meta‐analytic framework. Objective...
