Research in bioelectronics studies biological systems and materials in combination with electronic interfaces for the development of devices, e.g., for medical applications, drug and toxicity tests, and biotechnology in general. Neural implants and pacemakers are examples of products developed from this area of research. Conducting polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) bridg...

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a lentivirus that can infect several feline species, among them the domestic cat. Related lentiviruses are prevalent in non-domestic felids (Olmsted et al., 1992). The isolation of FIV from cats who while having an immunodeficiency-like illness were seronegative for Feline leukemia virus (FeLV), was first described in 1987 (Pedersen et al., 1987). FIV is c...

The prevalence of obesity is increasing in most parts of the world and is a strong risk factor for the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Adipose tissue is mainly composed of adipocytes which store energy in the form of triglycerides and release it as free fatty acids. Adipose tissue is one of the major regulators of energy homeostasis in the body. Adipose tiss...

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by raised blood glucose levels caused by an insufficient insulin control of glucose homeostasis. This lack of control is expressed both through insufficient release of insulin by the pancreatic beta-cells, and through insulin resistance in the insulin-responding tissues. We find insulin resistance of the adipose tissue particularly interesting since it appears t...

Osteoradionecrosis is a relatively rare but potentially morbid and costly complication of radiation therapy for head neck cancer. Multidisciplinary diagnosis treatment are essential. Despite evidence guiding individual aspects care osteoradionecrosis, there lack broad consensus on the overall management this condition. This study comprehensively reviews literature, with focus past 10 years, to ...

The combination of Diosmin and Hesperidin can be used as capillary stabilizing and antihemorrhoidal agent. A rapid, simple, precise and cost effective and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of Diosmin and Hesperidin in pharmaceutical formulations. Separation of both Diosmin and Hesperidin was...
