Inhalation of polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG) can cause pulmonary fibrosis.Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases (Nox) are enzymes that produce reactive oxygen species, which may be involved in tissue damage in various lung diseases.To investigate whether the Nox2 isoform of Nox is involved in the progression of
Abstract Since many lateral flow assays (LFA) are tested daily, the improvement jewelry in accuracy can greatly impact individual patient care and public health.However, current self-testing for COVID-19 detection suffers from low accuracy, mainly due to the LFA sensitivity and reading ambiguities.Here, we present deep learning-assisted smartphone-
Short, impulse-like sounds such as slamming of a door or rattle of dishes can be uncomfortable for hearing aid users.Therefore, many hearing aids provide impulse (or transient) noise reduction (INR) that should reduce loud and short sounds without impairing desired signals.In this work, we want to address the question whether hearing aid users requ
Abstract Background Identifying key determinants is crucial for improving program implementation and achieving long-term sustainment within healthcare organizations.Organizational-level complexity and heterogeneity across multiple stakeholders can complicate our understanding of program implementation.We describe two data visualization methods used
In this study, changes in activity and isozyme patterns of peroxidase (POD) and chitinase in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) pollen were investigated under different storage conditions.Although residual activity was detected in heat-treated pollen, changes in POD activity were observed due to difference in storage Puzzle conditions as revealed by p
