Nitrogen Accumulation in Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Slurry Exposed to Virucidal Cold Atmospheric Plasma Treatment
(2021)Abstract: Viral contamination of edible bivalves is a major food safety issue. We studied the virucidal effect of a cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) source on two virologically different surrogate viruses [a double-stranded ... -
No Evidence of Mosquito Involvement in the Transmission of Equine Hepacivirus (Flaviviridae) in an Epidemiological Survey of Austrian Horses
(2019)Prevalence studies have demonstrated a global distribution of equine hepacivirus (EqHV), a member of the family Flaviviridae. However, apart from a single case of vertical transmission, natural routes of EqHV transmission ... -
Non syndromic familial hypodontia - a case series
(2018)Aim: The aim of this case report is to discuss the features of non-syndromic familial hypodontia, which was noted in three siblings who had an unremarkable medical history. Summary: Congenital absence of teeth is ... -
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and their association with vascular risk
(2021)Abstract: The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), one of the most common liver diseases, is rising. About 25% of adults worldwide are probably affected by NAFLD. Insulin resistance (IR) and fat ... -
Non-coding regions of nuclear-DNA-encoded mitochondrial genes and intergenic sequences are targeted by autoantibodies in breast cancer
(2023)Introduction: Autoantibodies against mitochondrial-derived antigens play a key role in chronic tissue inflammation in autoimmune disorders and cancers. Here, we identify autoreactive nuclear genomic DNA (nDNA)-encoded ... -
Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers of myocardial infarction
(2023)Abstract: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) encompass a family of ubiquitous RNA molecules that lack protein-coding potential and have tissue-specific expression. A significant body of evidence indicates that ncRNA’s aberrant ... -
Non-coronary atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia
(2020)Objective: Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common autosomal dominant inherited disease, affecting 1 in 200 - 500 individuals worldwide. FH is characterized by elevated circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ... -
Non-withdrawal of beta blockers in acute decompensated chronic and de novo heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in a prospective multicentre study of patients with acute heart failure in the Middle East
(2017-05-17)Objectives: Beta blockers reduce mortality in heart failure (HF). However, it is not clear whether they should be temporarily withdrawn during acute HF. Design: Analysis of prospectively collected data. Setting: The ... -
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Children and Adolescents Taking Atypical Antipsychotic Medications: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2022)Background: Atypical antipsychotics (AAP) are commonly prescribed to children and adolescents and are associated with important adverse effects including weight gain and metabolic syndrome. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ... -
Nonalcoholic Fatty Pancreas Disease: Role in Metabolic Syndrome, “Prediabetes,” Diabetes and Atherosclerosis
(2021)Abstract: Fat accumulation in the pancreas associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been defined as “nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease” (NAFPD). The aim of this review is to describe the association ... -
Noninvasive Ventilation in the Management of Respiratory Failure Due to COVID-19 Infection: Experience From a Resource-Limited Setting
(2022)Objective: To study the role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) related acute respiratory failure (C-ARF). Patients and Methods: Patients with C-ARF ... -
Nootkatone confers hepatoprotective and anti-fibrotic actions in amurine model of liver fibrosis by suppressing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis
(2017-11-20)Abstract: In this study, the hepatoprotective and anti-fibrotic actions of nootkatone (NTK) were investigated using carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis in mice. CCl4 administration elevated serum aspartate ... -
A novel 6D-approach to radically transform undergraduate medical education: preliminary reflections from MBRU
(2018-12)Background: Designers of undergraduate medical education (UME) need to address the exponentially expanding volume and variability of scientific knowledge, where by didactic teaching techniques need to be augmented by ... -
A novel HRM assay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of eight poxviruses of medical and veterinary importance
(2017-02-20)Abstract: Poxviruses belonging to the Orthopoxvirus, Capripoxvirus and Parapoxvirus genera share common host species and create a challenge for diagnosis. Here, we developed a novel multiplex PCR method for the simultaneous ... -
Novel Markers in Pediatric Acute Lymphoid Leukemia: The Role of ADAM6 in B Cell Leukemia
(2021)Background: The extensive genetic heterogeneity found in the B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) subtype of childhood ALL represents a potential repository of biomarkers. To explore this potential, ... -
A Novel Method to Evaluate Precision of Optical Implant Impressions with Commercial Scan Bodies—An Experimental Approach
(2017)Purpose: Optical transfer is realized with system-specific transfer posts (scan bodies) mounted on dental implants or on implant analogs. This study presents a novel algorithm for creation of geometry on the surface of ... -
