Integrative approach to mitigate chromium toxicity in soil and enhance antioxidant activities in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using magnesium-iron nanocomposite and Staphylococcus aureus strains

Author(s): Ali MA; Sardar MF; Dar AA; Niaz M; Ali J; Wang Q; Zheng Y; Luo Y; Albasher G; Li F;

Pollutants in soil, particularly chromium (Cr), pose high environmental and health risks due to their persistence, bioavailability, and potential for causing toxicity. Cr impairment in plants act as a deleterious environmental pollutant that enters the food chain and eventually disturbs human health. Current study demonstrated the potential of integrative ...

Cancer symptom burden negatively affects health-related quality of life in patients undergoing prehabilitation prior to liver resection: results from a 12-week randomized controlled trial

Author(s): Kasvis P; Vigano A; Bui T; Carli F; Kilgour R;

Cancer symptoms negatively affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with cancer awaiting liver resection. Prehabilitation maintained HRQoL after surgery. Future studies should test whether relieving cancer symptoms can improve HRQoL.

Electric Field-Induced Nano-Assembly Formation: First Evidence of Silicon Superclusters with a Giant Permanent Dipole Moment

Author(s): Jardali F; Tran J; Liège F; Florea I; Leulmi ME; Vach H;

The outstanding properties of silicon nanoparticles have been extensively investigated during the last few decades. Experimental evidence and applications of their theoretically predicted permanent electric dipole moment, however, have only been reported for silicon nanoclusters (SiNCs) for a size of about one to two nanometers. Here, we have explored the ...

Background Music and Memory in Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Role of Interindividual Differences

Author(s): Calabria M; Ciongoli F; Grunden N; Ordás C; García-Sánchez C;

Background: Recent research has shown that background music may improve memory consolidation and retrieval. Nevertheless, in the clinical conditions preceding dementia such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), there is no current evidence speaking to what effect background music during memory tasks has on impaired cognition.

Acceptability of Serious Games in Pediatric Asthma Education and Self-management: Pilot Study

Author(s): Silva-Lavigne N; Valderrama A; Pelaez S; Bransi M; Balli F; Gervais Y; Gaudy T; Tse SM;

Background: Asthma is the most common chronic pediatric disease. Despite existing tools to manage asthma, 40%-55% of children with asthma experience uncontrolled asthma. Serious games (SGs) represent a novel approach in promoting asthma education and self-management for children. Objective: In this qualitative pilot study with an embedded quantitative de ...

Validation of a Portable Game Controller to Assess Peak Expiratory Flow Against Conventional Spirometry in Children: Cross-sectional Study.

Author(s): Chelabi K, Balli F, Bransi M, Gervais Y, Marthe C, Tse SM

BACKGROUND: International asthma guidelines recommend the monitoring of peak expiratory flow (PEF) as part of asthma self-management in children and adolescents who poorly perceive airflow obstruction, those with a history of severe exacerbations, or those who have difficulty controlling asthma. Measured with a peak flow meter, PEF represents a person' ...

PM2.5 and hospital admissions among Medicare enrollees with chronic debilitating brain disorders.

Author(s): Yitshak-Sade M, Nethery R, Schwartz JD, Mealli F, Dominici F, Di Q, Abu Awad Y, Ifergane G, Zanobetti A

BACKGROUND: Although long-term exposure to particulate matter METHODS: We constructed daily zipcode counts of hospital admissions of Medicare beneficiaries older than 65 across the United-States (2000-2014). We obtained daily PM2.5 estimates from a satellite-based model. A propensity score matchi ...
