Estimating the efficacy of isometric handgrip training to lower resting blood pressure in patients with stage 1 hypertension in Eastern Uganda compared to standard of care: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials
Background Hypertension (HTN) is a major non-communicable disease worldwide, including in Uganda. Studies have estimated HTN prevalence in Uganda between 19 and 33% among adults, with only 7–9% controlled within clinical target ranges. Isometric handgrip

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The Decline of Soft Power?

MGIMO Review of International Relations, 2017
The article deals with the origins and stages of the evolution of the concept of “soft power” in the political practice of the key countries in the world. This concept is both theoretical and practical product since it synthesizes and represents the direction of the application by a state its of social and political resources. It is significant to trace

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Methodology for quantifying particle charge statistics in electric fields of gas insulations

Scientific Reports
Electrically charged particles in high-voltage gas insulation systems can lead to field distortion, partial discharges, and ultimately, insulation breakdowns. Despite their significance, particle charges have rarely been studied in this context.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

The skills required for transition to university and study in biological sciences: A student perspective

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bioscience students were asked for their opinions on the value and teaching of skills. 204 responded that teamwork, time management and study skills are necessary to reach University, that scientific writing, research, laboratory and presentation skills are taught effectively during their studies, while other skills are gained inherently through study ...

Soft Power Determinants in the World and Implications for China

The Copenhagen Journal of Asian Studies, 2020
Statistical tests are here conducted on two explanations of soft power. One is Joseph Nye's argument that political values, foreign policy and cultural appeals shape soft power, and the other is the positive peace argument which suggests a significant ...

Validation of the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System for the Elbow, Wrist, and Finger Joints in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to validate the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System (PAUSS) for upper extremity joints in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods Children with JIA were evaluated for elbow, wrist, or finger arthritis by clinical examination (CE) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) with images scored according to the ...

The expediency of remote location from an injection well of water shut-off material in a high-permeability sublayer

Georesursy
The paper investigates the expediency of placement a water shut-off material in a high-permeability watered sublayer away from the injection well. This scenario of location the blocking agent with complex rheological properties in a reservoir requires ...
