BACKGROUND Infection-induced thrombocytopenia (TCP) is an independent risk factor for death of patients with sepsis, but its mechanism is unknown. This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of TCP based on the relationship between TLR4 expression and platelet activation in septic patients. METHODS A total of 64 patients with sepsis were prospectively studied. Platelet count (PC), me...

BACKGROUND Bone marrow examination may be required to discriminate causes of thrombocytopenia as hypoproductive or hyperdestructive. However, this procedure is invasive and time consuming. This study assessed the diagnostic value of Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) and Platelet Large Cell-Ratio (P-LCR) in discriminating causes of thrombocytopenia as hypoproductive o...

The presence of a small concentration in-plane Fe dopants in La$_{1.87}$Sr$_{0.13}$Cu$_{0.99}$Fe$_{0.01}$O$_4$ is known to enhance stripe-like spin and charge density wave (SDW CDW) order, suppress the superconducting $T_c$. Here, we show that it also induces highly two-dimensional (2D) correlations have been argued be signatures new form so-called pair-density-wave (PDW) order. In addition, us...

Abstract Climate change and sea level rise (SLR) represent many challenges for coastal areas such as erosion saltwater intrusion (SWI). This study aims to highlight the effect of climate SLR on Egypt’s northern coasts present appropriate adaptations. A number techniques adapting with have been presented. Two numerical models used simulation PLAXIS 2D-FEST. The results showed that will affect a ...

The high fructan contents in underground organs of Cerrado species, high water solubility, and fast metabolism of these compounds highlight their role as carbon storage and as an adaptive feature in plants under drought. In this study, we showed that anatomical structure, in association with soluble compounds and metabolism of inulin-type fructans were modified in rhizophores of Crysolaena obov...
