Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Shweta07081992/Effect-of-averaging-period-of-eddy-covariance-fluxes-on-water-use-efficiency-: Effect of averaging period of eddy-covariance fluxes on water use efficiency

, 2022
Direct measurement of carbon and water fluxes at high frequency makes eddy covariance (EC) as the most preferred technique to characterize ecosystem water use efficiency (WUEe).

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Root zone adaptive irrigation technology: A novel subsurface irrigation method using for drought-resistant afforestation in water shortage regions

Agricultural Water Management
Afforestation plays a critical role in boosting carbon sequestration and mitigating climate change, yet seedling survival is constrained by drought and water scarcity in water-scarce regions.

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 ...
