BACKGROUND Recommendations for diphtheria immunization are to apply an effective primary immunization in infancy and to maintain immunity throughout life. Immunity against diphtheria depends primarily on antibody to the diphtheria toxin. This study evaluated the seroprevalence of IgG diphtheria antitoxin in sera of healthy children, adolescents and adults in Poland. METHODS A total of 1387 se...

BACKGROUND With a wide range of applications, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs) are manufactured worldwide in large quantities. Recently, in the field of nanomedicine, intravenous injection of TiO₂ nanoparticulate carriers directly into the bloodstream has raised public concerns on their toxicity to humans. METHODS In this study, mice were injected intravenously with a single dose o...

The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that conventional objective methods (e.g. for measuring signal-to-noise ratio and distortion) are no longer adequate for measuring the perceived audio quality of systems which use low bit-rate coding schemes or which employ analogue or digital signal processing; b) that low bit-rate coding schemes are rapidly being deployed; c) that not all im...

5'-Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a naturally occurring nucleoside which is degraded by MTA phosphorylase (MTAase) to adenine and methylthioribose-1-phosphate in all normal mammalian cells. These products of the phosphorylytic cleavage of MTA are recycled to the nucleotide pool and methionine, respectively. Thus, supplemental MTA could theoretically be utilized by MTAase-containing cells as a sou...
