Synthetic approaches for accessing rare-earth analogues of UiO-66

Author(s): Donnarumma PR; Frojmovic S; Marino P; Bicalho HA; Titi HM; Howarth AJ;

Rare-earth (RE) analogues of UiO-66 with non-functionalised 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate linkers are synthesised for the first time, and a series of synthetic approaches is provided to troubleshoot the synthesis. RE-UiO-66 analogues are fully characterised, and demonstrate a high degree of crystallinity, high surface area and thermal stability, consistent wit ...

The effects of combined motor control and isolated extensor strengthening versus general exercise on paraspinal muscle morphology and function in patients with chronic low back pain: a randomised controlled trial protocol

Author(s): Fortin M; Rye M; Roussac A; Naghdi N; Macedo LG; Dover G; Elliott JM; DeMont R; Weber MH; Pepin V;

Background: Exercise is a common approach for the management of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP). However, there is no clear mechanistic evidence or consensus on what type of exercise is more effective than others. While considerable evidence suggests a link between lumbar m ...

Are the Allergic Reactions of COVID-19 Vaccines Caused by mRNA Constructs or Nanocarriers? Immunological Insights

Author(s): Selvaraj G; Kaliamurthi S; Peslherbe GH; Wei DQ;

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently authorized the two messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 for emergency use against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing the COVID-19 coronavirus disease. BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines were developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, respectively, in 2020 ...

Disposable masks release microplastics to the aqueous environment with exacerbation by natural weathering

Author(s): Wang Z; An C; Chen X; Lee K; Zhang B; Feng Q;

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven explosive growth in the use of masks has resulted in many issues related to the disposal and management of waste masks. As improperly disposed masks enter the ocean, the risk to the marine ecological system is further aggravated, especially in the shoreline environment. The objective of this study is to explore the changin ...

Code-switching in parents' everyday speech to bilingual infants

Author(s): Kremin LV; Alves J; Orena AJ; Polka L; Byers-Heinlein K;

Code-switching is a common phenomenon in bilingual communities, but little is known about bilingual parents' code-switching when speaking to their infants. In a pre-registered study, we identified instances of code-switching in day-long at-home audio recordings of 21 French-English bilingual families in Montreal, Canada, who provided recordings when t ...

Lateral Position-Dependent Velocity Estimation Error in Plane-Wave Doppler Ultrasound Systems

Author(s): Wei L; Williams R; Loupas T; Helfield B; Burns PN;

Doppler ultrasound has become a standard method used to diagnose and grade vascular diseases and monitor their progression. Conventional focused-beam color Doppler imaging is routinely used in clinical practice, but suffers from inherent trade-offs between spatial, temporal and velocity resolution. Newer, plane-wave Doppler imaging offers rapid simultaneo ...

Tools and Techniques for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)/COVID-19 Detection

Author(s): Safiabadi Tali SH; LeBlanc JJ; Sadiq Z; Oyewunmi OD; Camargo C; Nikpour B; Armanfard N; Sagan SM; Jahanshahi-Anbuhi S;

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to millions of confirmed cases and deaths worldwide. Efficient diagnostic tools are in high demand, as rapid and large-scale testing plays a pivotal role in patient man ...

Caloric restriction creates a metabolic pattern of chronological aging delay that in budding yeast differs from the metabolic design established by two other geroprotectors

Author(s): Mohammad K; Titorenko VI;

Caloric restriction and the tor1? mutation are robust geroprotectors in yeast and other eukaryotes. Lithocholic acid is a potent geroprotector in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we used liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry method of non-targeted metabolomics to compare the effects of these three geroprotectors on the intracellular m ...

Calcium-calcineurin signaling pathway in Candida albicans: A potential drug target

Author(s): Li W; Shrivastava M; Lu H; Jiang Y;

Increased morbidity and mortality of candidiasis are a notable threat to the immunocompromised patients. At present, the types of drugs available to treat C. albicans infection are relatively limited. Moreover, the emergence of antifungal drug resistance of C. albicans makes the treatment of C. albicans infection more difficult. The calcium-calcineurin si ...
