Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones are significant regulators of homeostasis.The physiological effects of GCs critically depend on the time of exposure (short vs.long) as well as on their circulating levels (baseline vs.stress-induced).Previous experiments, in which chronic INFLAMMEX and high elevation of GC levels was induced, indicate that GCs impair b
Background: Previous studies have found that DRESSES URBAN Apolipoprotein E (APOE) plays a crucial role in invasion and migration of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cells and enhance M2 macrophage polarization.Ferroptosis has been implicated in development of various tumors and their treatment resistance, and studies have shown that APOE is invol
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Investigators have an ethical obligation to return study results back to participants in a timely and layperson-friendly manner, but most do not.This lack of communication can erode trust in the research enterprise.One solution to this issue is Plain Language Summaries (PLS).METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We investigated and collected
Anemia is an important cause of child morbidity and mortality.Postmortem point-of-care hemoglobin testing is a potential method for assessing anemia at death, but its reliability has not been extensively studied.We aimed to assess the feasibility and validity of postmortem point-of-care hemoglobin assessment using HemoCue in the setting of a child
The removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater by sorptive flotation using Amberlite IR120 as a resin, and flotation column, was investigated.A combined two-stage process is proposed as an alternative of the heavy metals removal from aqueous solutions.The first stage is the sorption of heavy metals onto Amberlite IR120 followed by dispersed-air fl
