Chemo-physical Evaluation of Some Tropical Spider Fibers in Selected Local Government Areas of Benue State, Nigeria

Spider fibers, celebrated for its remarkable strength and elasticity, shows great potential in diverse industrial applications,especially in fields like textiles and biodegradable materials. This research examined the mechanical, chemical and physicalproperties of tropical spider...

Influence of environmental pollutants and climatic factors on ocular allergy and dry eye.

Background: Ocular allergy is one of the most common ophthalmologic conditions. The prevalence of these disorders has increased in recent years due to environmental factors such as air pollution and allergens. The interaction between allergies and lacrimal gland dysfunction may c...

Association between coronary high-intensity plaque and pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and plaque morphology

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between high-intensity plaque (HIP) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATA) and plaque burden on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with ch...

Deformation mechanisms and rheology of chlorite-actinolite schist and blueschist: Implications for creep behavior along the slab-mantle interface

Chlorite-actinolite schist (CAS) and blueschist represent major lithologies along the subduction plate boundary at the slab-mantle interface, yet their deformation mechanisms and rheological properties remain poorly constrained. We investigated a subduction melange in western Kyu...

Season-robust localization for autonomous robot in orchard using two-stage LiDAR points segmentation with sensor fusion

A robust cross-season, multi-route localization framework is proposed for agricultural environments with significant seasonal variations. Based on intensity-calibrated maps constructed across four seasons, a two-stage point segmentation method is employed to extract geometrically...

Project complexity and cost escalations in the early design of railway megaprojects

Large railway projects suffer from major cost overruns and delays, partly due to project complexity. This study explores how such complexity emerges in the early design stages and affects the project outcomes. Data from 14 interviews were compared with four project complexity fra...

Topical Therapy for Atopic Dermatitis: What is New and the New Paradigm.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that requires a complex management strategy, which often involves multiple and diverse topicals and systemic treatment regimens. While topical steroids and more recently calcineurin inhibitors have been the mainstay t...

Global Burden of Atopic Dermatitis: Examining Disease Prevalence Across Pediatric and Adult Populations World-Wide.

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a common, pruritic inflammatory skin disease associated with marked disease burden and substantial health care costs. AD does not discriminate between populations; prevalence estimates vary widely with most studies focusing on general or pediatric popula...

Timing of Food Introduction and Allergy Prevention: An Update.

Recommendations about allergy prevention through diet are rapidly changing. In just the past several years, multiple organizations have provided updated guidance and recommendations about infant feeding based on recent studies and meta-analyses. In addition to the increased numbe...

Exploring the Association Between Atopic Dermatitis and Malignancy: A Comprehensive Review with Therapeutic Strategies.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent dermatologic condition affecting both children and adults, and the debate surrounding its association as either a risk or protective factor for malignancies has garnered significant attention. Proposed mechanisms suggest that AD may act prote...

Health Heritage and Public History in Northern Ireland

Comparative laboratory analysis of window sound insulation across glazing types in the 50–5000 Hz range: evaluation of different low-frequency methods

This study investigates the sound insulation performance of windows by presenting laboratory measurements from 50 to 5000 Hz on two window types, with and without an integrated shutter box, each tested across five glazing configurations. While all measurements were conducted unde...

Polyphenol Diet and Exercise as Neuroprotection from Effects of Alzheimer's Disease

Healthy non-pharmacological lifestyle factors, such as regular physical exercise and a dietary supplementation, have been shown to significantly improve cognitive outcomes over time compared to a more sedentary lifestyle and poor diet. Furthermore, exercise may serve as a potenti...
