Abstract Background Damage in the ischemic core and penumbra after stroke affects patient prognosis.Microglia immediately respond to ischemic insult and initiate immune inflammation, playing an important role in the cellular injury after stroke.However, the microglial heterogeneity and the mechanisms involved remain unclear.Methods We first perform
Maternal Secondhand Smoke Exposure Enhances Macrosomia Risk Among Pregnant Women Exposed to PM2.5: A New Interaction of Two Air Pollutants in a Nationwide Cohort
Background: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is one of the most common outdoor air pollutants, and secondhand smoking (SHS) is an important source of inhalable indoor air pollution.Previous studies were controversial and inconsistent about PM2.5 and SHS air pollutants on neonatal birth weight outcomes, and no studies assessed the potential interacti
Promoting functional foods as acceptable alternatives to doping: potential for information-based social marketing approach
Abstract Background Substances with performance enhancing properties appear on a continuum, ranging from ANTIPERSPIRANT VOYAGE prohibited performance enhancing drugs (PED) through dietary supplements to functional foods (FF).Anti-doping messages designed to dissuade athletes from using PEDs have been typically based on moralising sport competition
A study on life prediction of core and shielding wires contained in a coaxial cable bent cyclically
In this paper, a prediction method of the maximum principal strain of a core/shielding wire contained in a coaxial cable, which is related to the life-cycle of the wire, is proposed.If the central axis of a wire is assumed to be twisted around a virtual cylindrical surface when a coaxial cable is straight and a virtual toroidal surface when the cab
Open Science Alternatives to Scopus and the Web of Science: A Case Study in Regional Resilience
The recent years have seen increasing support for open science in academic circles.However, the large number of scientometric databases calls into question the comparability of the search and analysis tools they provide.Using the subject area of regional resilience as an example, in this study, the aim was to analyze the capabilities of widely used
