In analogy with GRB 190114C, we here analyze the ultrarelativistic prompt emission (UPE) of 180720B observed in rest-frame time interval $t_{\rm rf}=4.84$--$10.89$~s by Fermi-GBM. We reveal UPE hierarchical structure from time-resolved spectral analysis performed sub-intervals: spectrum each shorter is always fitted a composite blackbody plus cutoff power-law model. explain this \textit{inner e...

Abstract Background and Aims Little is known about the quality of life (QoL) patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Understanding relationship between disease activity (as measured by urine protein excretion [UPE]) QoL could allow decision-makers to understand how treatments that improve UPE might patient QoL. Methods The 2021 United States subset Adelphi IgAN Disease Specific Programme™ was a p...

Biofield physiology is proposed as an overarching descriptor for the electromagnetic, biophotonic, and other types of spatially-distributed fields that living systems generate and respond to as integral aspects of cellular, tissue, and whole organism self-regulation and organization. Medical physiology, cell biology, and biophysics provide the framework within which evidence for biofields, thei...

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is increasingly performed worldwide. Unplanned events during thoracoscopy or laparoscopy can jeopardize the procedure, sometimes necessitating conversion to open surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of unplanned events on early postoperative outcomes after MIE. METHOD A consecutive group of 303 patients who underwent MIE b...

This paper addresses the issue of universal primary education (one of the MDGs) in Pakistan. It is unlikely for Pakistan to achieve Universal Primary Education (UPE) by 2015. The main assumption in this study is that existence and proper functioning of a school in a locality need its integration with the community and other local institutions by making them the stakeholders. It also intends to ...

PURPOSE Reduced birth weight is associated with an increased risk of visual impairments. This study was undertaken to determine whether prenatal exposure to a chronic compromise sufficient to cause fetal growth restriction (FGR) results in long-term alterations to the retina and optic nerve. METHODS FGR was induced by umbilicoplacental embolization (UPE) in two cohorts of pregnant ewes from (...

BACKGROUND During the 2015 outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), six different commercial MERS-CoV RNA detection kits based on real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) were available in Korea. We performed analytical and clinical validations of these kits. METHODS PowerChek (Kogene Biotech, Korea), DiaPlexQ (SolGent, Korea), Anyplex (S...

A trend for the next generation of polymeric dental restoratives is to incorporate multifunctional capabilities to regulate microbial growth and remineralize tooth surfaces. Polymerizable 2-(methacryloyloxy)-N-(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)-N,N-dimethylethan-1-aminium bromide (IDMA1) and N,N'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-diylbis(methylene))bis(2-(methacryloyloxy)-N,N-dimethylethan-1-aminium) bromide (IDMA...
