Introduction: Pertrochanteric fractures are devastating injuries that most commonly affect the elderly. There various forms of internal fixation devices used for Trochanteric Fractures; them, device is Dynamic Hip Screw with Side Plate assemblies. In unstable fracture patterns, intramedullary such as PFN appear to have a biomechanical advantage over extramedullary devices. Aim: To compare funct...

BACKGROUND In the US, the approved multiple sclerosis (MS) oral disease-modifying therapies (ODMTs) are fingolimod (FTY), teriflunomide (TFN), and dimethyl fumarate (DMF). FTY and TFN are recommended with once-daily doses with no up-titration, whereas DMF treatment is recommended twice-daily (BID) and is initiated with a 7-day starter dose of 120 mg BID before up-titration to the maintenance do...

The pericentriolar endocytic recycling compartment (ERC) is involved in receptor and lipid recycling as well as in the delivery of internalized cargo from early endosomes to the trans Golgi network (TGN). We show that synaptotagmin (Syt) IX, a member of the Syt family of proteins, localizes to the ERC and is required for export from the ERC to the cell surface. We demonstrate that rat basophili...

BACKGROUND/AIM Somatostatin (SST) analogs are mainstay for controlling tumor proliferation and hormone secretion in carcinoid patients. Recent data suggest that extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation may potentiate the anti-tumor effects of SST analogs in carcinoids. Additionally, ERK1/2 phosphorylating agents have been shown to suppress biomarker expression in carci...

Abstract Teach For All (TFAll) represents a unique private–public partnership model of fast-track teacher education. This chapter explores TFAll’s expansion to the Scandinavian countries and uses First Norway (TFN) as context for examining this employment-based route into teaching, focusing on individual participant perspectives. Contemporary career choices can be understood fluid negotiable, w...

Electrostatic endothelial cell seeding has evolved as an exceptional technique to improve the efficiency of cell seeding in terms of frequency of attached cells and the amount of cell adhesion for the treatment of vascular diseases. In the recent times, both untreated and superhydrophilic thin film nitinol (TFN) have exhibited strong prospects as substrates for creation of small-diameter endova...

This review presents state-of-the-art progress in 2D-enabled TFN membranes for RO and NF applications water treatment with emphasis on impact of 2D nanosheet membrane properties, performance, its associated challenges.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are biodegradable nanoparticles with a high aspect ratio and abundant surface hydroxyl groups resulting in negatively charged hydrophilic surfaces that make them an ideal candidate to be incorporated thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes. In this study, we modified the CNCs via acetylation (ACNCs) reduce their hydrophilicity reaction L-cysteine (CysCNCs) impart f...
