Lung Transplant Recipients (LTR) are particularly vulnerable to severe infection, hospitalization, and death due to community acquired respiratory viruses. As a result, the global SARS-Cov-2 pandemic poses a higher risk to this population. We aim to study the lung function, severity of infection and mortality among LTR at a single center. A retrospective chart review was performed on all LTR at the University of San Diego, California Medical Center between June 2020 and September 2022. Spirometry was performed at 1 [...]

In this study, tin antimony sulfide (SnSb2S5) thin films with 200 nm, 312 nm, and 431 nm thicknesses were successfully fabricated using thermal evaporation. These films' structural, optical, and photoanode properties were meticulously characterized to assess their suitability for photovoltaic applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of an orthorhombic symmetry phase within the Pnma space group, ensuring the crystalline quality of the films. Raman spectroscopy further validated the cryst [...]

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine illness that affects 5-10% of reproductive women globally. It is a multifaceted hormonal disorder characterized by the involvement of numerous molecular mechanisms that contribute to its development. This study investigates the effect of Artocarpus communis seed on the hormonal imbalance and P53, IRS, HsD17β2, FTO, and CYP11a genes expression in the ovaries of letrozole-induced polycystic ovarian syndrome rats. To induce PCOS in 30 female Wistar rats, [...]

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a primary global health concern, and though therapeutic options have improved, no very effective vaccine is available despite decades of research. The health and vitality of the organism are related to the result of homeostatic regulation of the internal environment. In contrast, it follows that disruption of homeostatic mechanisms leads to disease, particularly in liver cancer. Since HCV can rapidly mutate to evade the immune response, an effective HCV vaccine must rely on the identifica [...]

Knobloch Syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by ocular abnormalities and central nervous system (CNS) defects, which are attributed to collagenopathy. The primary gene implicated in KS is COL18A1, which encodes the alpha chain of type XVIII collagen. This type of collagen functions as a proteoglycan, predominantly located in the basement membrane of human tissues. This study examined an Iranian female presenting with symptoms of horizontal nystagmus, strabismus, and suspected vision loss, with a [...]

Elderly patients with ovarian and pancreatic cancer frequently experience malnutrition and sarcopenia, which negatively impact treatment tolerance, functional outcomes, and survival. The increasing use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this population necessitates structured interventions to mitigate these challenges. While prehabilitation has shown promise in enhancing treatment tolerance and quality of life, its role during chemotherapy remains underexplored. This prospective study evaluates the feasibility and impa [...]

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health concern, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. While the primary injury is mechanical, the subsequent neuroinflammatory cascade plays a critical role in secondary injury and long-term neurological deficits. Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the brain, play a key role in this cascade, interacting with neurons in a complex interplay that can both protect and exacerbate neuronal damage. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview [...]
