Metatranscriptome sequencing identifies Escherichia are major contributors to pathogenic functions and biofilm formation in diabetes related foot osteomyelitis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Osteomyelitis in the feet of persons with diabetes is clinically challenging and is associated with high rates of amputation. In this study RNA-sequencing was employed to explore microbial metatranscriptomes with a view to understand the relative ...

Under pressure: pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease

European Respiratory Review, 2015
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with left heart disease (PH-LHD) is the most common type of PH, but its natural history is not well understood. PH-LHD is diagnosed by right heart catheterisation with a mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥25 mmHg and

Ethyl 2-Succinate-Anthraquinone Attenuates Inflammatory Response and Oxidative Stress via Regulating NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Aloe-emodin widely possesses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-infectious properties. This study investigated the effect of ethyl 2-succinate-anthraquinone (Luhui derivative, LHD) on inflammation.

Effects of Boronization in LHD

Journal of Plasma and Fusion Research, 2003
Boronization (boron coating) using diborane was carried out in the Large Helical Device (LHD) for wall conditioning. Using three nozzles for the diborane supply, about 60 % area of the vacuum chamber was covered by boron film. Oxygen impurity radiation was strongly reduced by gettering, and radiation from carbon and metals were reduced about 30 – 40 ...

A multiomics approach to identify host-microbe alterations associated with infection severity in diabetic foot infections: a pilot study

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021
Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are a major cause of hospitalization and can lead to lower extremity amputation. In this pilot study, we used a multiomics approach to explore the host–microbe complex within DFIs.

Autoreactivity vs autoimmunity: characteristics of autoantigen‐specific CD4 T‐cells in rheumatoid arthritis and health.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit)‐peptides are key players in RA immunopathogenesis. Characterising these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next generation of RA treatments.

Screening practices for financial abuse of older people at a large metropolitan hospital: a qualitative study of health professionals

BMC Health Services Research
Background Financial abuse of older people (FAOP) refers to material exploitation resulting in harm to older individuals that incorporates a breach of trust. Current practice does not involve routine screening, varies among healthcare professionals (HPs)

Identification of iron status of blood donors by using low hemoglobin density and microcytic anemia factor

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2018
Background: Two new parameters low hemoglobin density (LHD) and microcytic anemia factor (Maf) have been used by Beckman–Coulter LH series analyzers as an easy screening tool for the early detection of iron deficiency.

Effect of Magnetic Islands on Neoclassical Heat Diffusivity in a Global Tokamak Simulation

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) alter magnetic field topology via island formation and can modify core transport in toroidal fusion devices. Using the global gyrokinetic particle‐in‐cell code XGC‐S, originally developed for stellarator geometries, we quantify how island topology affects neoclassical heat transport in a circular tokamak ...
