2-Deoxy-glucose Enhances the Effect of Cisplatin and Pemetrexed in Reducing Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Cell Proliferation but Not Spheroid Growth
(2019)Background/Aim: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a therapy-resistant neoplasm of the pleura. Standard chemotherapy consists of a combination of cisplatin (CPDD) and pemetrexed (PEM). The aim of this study was to ... -
Assessment of remediation of soils, moderately contaminated by potentially toxic metals, using different forms of carbon (charcoal, biochar, activated carbon). Impacts on contamination, metals availability and soil indices
(2022)The present study aims to assess the effect of three forms of carbon, i.e., charcoal, biochar and activated carbon using as soil amendments (or soil conditioners) in two soils, an acid and alkaline one. For this purpose, ... -
Biowastes alone and combined with sulfur affect the phytoavailability of Cu and Zn to barnyard grass and sorghum in a fluvial alkaline soil under dry and wet conditions
(2019)Management of degraded soils (i.e., metal contaminated soils, salt affected soils, and soils with low organic matter content) by applying biowastes (e.g., biosolids and compost) and inorganic soil amendments such as sulfur ... -
Do trabecular metal and cancellous titanium implants reduce the risk of late haematogenous infection? An experimental study in rabbits
(2021)Aim: This study evaluated the late resistance to haematogenous contamination by microbial pathogens of implants and bone-implant interface and the development of late clinical infection when cementless components with ... -
Endograft Specific Haemodynamics After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Flow Characteristics of Four Stent Graft Systems
(2019)Objectives: The implication of haemodynamics in the occurrence of complications after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been raised in the literature. Different aortic stent graft configurations may lead to different ... -
Enhanced oxygen reduction and methanol oxidation reaction over self-assembled Pt-M (M = Co, Ni) nanoflowers
(2022)Herein, we introduce a facile approach to synthesize a unique class of Pt-M (M = Ni, Co) catalysts with a nanoflower structure for boosting both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). By ... -
Inter-species functional Interactome of nuclear Steroid receptors (R1)
(2018)Steroids exert their actions by binding to the glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, androgen, estrogen and progesterone classes of receptors. Despite an exponential increase in our knowledge of steroid receptors, their ... -
Mechanisms of engineered nanoparticle induced neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2019)The wide-spread implementation of nanoparticles poses a major health concern. Unique biokinetics allow them to transfer to neurons throughout the body and inflict neurotoxicity, which is challenging to evaluate solely in ... -
Suture Line Response of End-to-Side Anastomosis: A Stress Concentration Methodology
(2015)End-to-side vascular anastomosis has a considerable complexity regarding the suturing of the juncture line between the artery and the graft. The present study proposes a stress–concentration methodology for the prediction ... -
Using Bayesian hierarchical modelling to capture cyanobacteria dynamics in Northern European lakes
(2020)Cyanobacteria blooms in lakes and reservoirs currently threaten water security and affect the ecosystem services provided by these freshwater ecosystems, such as drinking water and recreational use. Climate change is ...
