Abstract Background Antibiotic-containing cement and bone graft substitute-coated orthopedic implants provide the advantages of simultaneous local antibiotic delivery and internal stable fixation, aiding in both infection eradication and osseous healing.Standardized protocols pertaining to implant coating techniques in various clinical and particul
Antioxidant properties and potential mechanisms of hydrolyzed proteins and peptides from cereals
Cereals like wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, oat, and millet are staple foods in many regions around the world and contribute to more than half of human energy requirements.Scientific publications contain evidence showing that apart from energy, the regular consumption of whole grains is useful for the prevention of many chronic diseases associated
Revisiting Database Indexing for Parallel and Accelerated Computing: A Comprehensive Study and Novel Approaches
While the importance of indexing strategies for optimizing query performance in database systems is widely acknowledged, the impact of rapidly evolving hardware architectures on indexing techniques has been an underexplored area.As modern computing systems increasingly leverage parallel processing capabilities, multi-core CPUs, and specialized hard
Galactosaminogalactan (GAG) and its multiple roles in Aspergillus pathogenesis
Aspergillus spp and particularly the species Aspergillus fumigatus are the causative agents of invasive aspergillosis, a progressive necrotizing pneumonia that occurs in immunocompromised patients.The limited efficacy of currently available antifungals has led to interest in a better understanding of the molecular VEG SPRAY mechanisms underlying th
