Abstract Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is a major cause of lethality following radiation disasters.A TLR5 agonist, entolimod, is among the most powerful experimental radiation countermeasures and shows efficacy in rodents and non-human primates as a prophylactic (radioprotection) and treatment (radiomitigation) modality.While the prophylactic acti
The design of biomimetic porous scaffolds has been gaining attention in the biomedical sector lately.Shells, marine sponges, shark teeth, cancellous bone, sea urchin spine, and the armadillo armor structure are examples of biological systems that have already been studied to drive the design of innovative, porous, and multifunctional structures.Amo

ObjectiveTo determine whether there is a significant association between maternal haemoglobin measured before delivery and short-term neonatal outcome in very preterm neonates.Study designWe included prospectively all live births occurring from 25 to 32+6 weeks of gestation in a tertiary care centre between January 1(st) 2009 and December 31(st) 20
Digital images are often obtained with contrast distortions due to different factors that cannot be avoided on many occasions.Various research works have been introduced on this topic, yet no conclusive findings have been made.Therefore, a low-intricacy multi-step algorithm Arctic passages: liminality, Iñupiat Eskimo mothers and NW Alaska comm
