Effects of cyanobacterial toxins on the human gastrointestinal tract and the ...
Abstract Background Cyanobacterial blooms occur with increasing frequency in freshwater ecosystems, posing a hazard to human and environmental health. Exposure of human to... -
Fat mass and fat distribution are associated with low back pain intensity and...
Abstract Background Determining the association between body composition and low back pain (LBP) will improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which obesity affects LBP,... -
Changes in nutritional status of children who lived in temporary shelters in ...
Abstract Background The nutritional status of children may deteriorate after natural disasters such as earthquakes. A 7.8 Richter scale earthquake struck Nepal in 2015 that... -
Thermal expansion feedback for wave-front shaping
Focusing inside scattering media is a challenging task with a variety of applications in biomedicine. State of the art methods mostly require invasive feedback inside or behind... -
Focusing through dynamic scattering media
We demonstrate steady-state focusing of coherent light through dynamic scattering media. The phase of an incident beam is controlled both spatially and temporally using a... -
OhsR acts as an organic peroxide-sensing transcriptional activator using an S...
Abstract Background Corynebacterium glutamicum is a well-known producer of various l-amino acids in industry. During the fermenting process, C. glutamicum unavoidably encounters... -
Subnanometer optical coherence tomographic vibrography
The ability to quantify and visualize submicrometer-scale oscillatory motions of objects in three dimensions has a wide range of application in acoustics, materials sciences,... -
Dynamic light sheet generation and fluorescence imaging behind turbid media
Abstract Background Light sheet microscopy became a popular tool allowing fast imaging with reduced out of focus light. However, when light penetrates turbid media such as... -
A novel thermal compression device for perioperative warming: a randomized tr...
Abstract Background Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) leads to surgical complications and increases length of stay. IPH rates are high with the current standard of... -
A comparison of intestinal microbiota in a population of low-risk infants exp...
Abstract Background The intestinal microbiota influences metabolic, nutritional, and immunologic processes and has been associated with a broad range of adverse health outcomes... -
Light scattering calculations from oleic-acid droplets with water inclusions
We present modeling results in video format showing the changes that occur in the light scattered by a spherical oleic-acid host droplet containing a spherical water inclusion... -
Prevalence and determinants of acute diarrhea among children younger than fiv...
Abstract Background Despite the global decline in death rates of children younger than five years old, the risk of a child dying before turning five years of age remains highest... -
Estimating the incidence of tuberculosis cases reported at a tertiary hospita...
Abstract Background The incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) differs among countries and contributes to morbidity and mortality especially in the developing countries. Trends and... -
Inherent bacterial DNA contamination of extraction and sequencing reagents ma...
Abstract Background The advent and use of highly sensitive molecular biology techniques to explore the microbiota and microbiome in environmental and tissue samples have... -
New insights on serodiagnosis of trichinellosis during window period: early d...
Abstract The clinical diagnosis of trichinellosis is difficult because its clinical manifestations are nonspecific. Detection of anti-Trichinella IgG by ELISA using T. spiralis... -
Probabilistic modelling of prospective environmental concentrations of gold n...
Abstract Background The use of gold nanoparticles (Au-NP) based medical applications is rising due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Diagnostic devices based on... -
Characterizing measles transmission in India: a dynamic modeling study using ...
Abstract Background Decreasing trends in measles mortality have been reported in recent years. However, such estimates of measles mortality have depended heavily on assumed... -
Electron wave-packet dynamics in a relativistic electromagnetic field: 3-D an...
A solution to the Klein Gordon equation for a laser-driven electron is constructed from a superposition of Volkov states. The time-and space-dependent three-dimensional... -
Completeness of tuberculosis case notifications in Germany in 2013–2017: firs...
Abstract Background Evaluating the completeness of tuberculosis (TB) notification data is important for monitoring of TB surveillance systems. We conducted an inventory study to... -
Temperature-related mortality estimates after accounting for the cumulative e...
Abstract Background To propose a new method for including the cumulative mid-term effects of air pollution in the traditional Poisson regression model and compare the...
