This study aims to experimentally analyze the radiation shielding capabilities of micro and nano bismuth oxide waste glasses by evaluating the effect of particle size, bismuth oxide content, and energy on the attenuation abilities of the samples.Waste glasses were powdered and combined with varying amounts of bismuth oxide with different particle s
Abstract Background Although increasing data supports the use of transbronchial lung cryobiopsies (TBLCs) for the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs), its role as an alternative to surgical lung biopsy (SLB) is still under debate.The aim of this study was to assess the benefit of additional SLBs performed in selected patients aft
Introduction.The antigen complex of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria (ACOPB) has a protective effect against avian influenza viruses, herpes virus type 2, and other viruses that cause acute respiratory viral infections.In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, an important task is to find out whether ACOPB has a protective effect against SARS-CoV-2
Purpose: To report a case of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis presenting with rare findings of cicatricial entropion progressing to significant symblepharon and fornix obliteration.Observations: An otherwise healthy patient with initial presentation findings of lower lid entropion with minimal cicatricial changes and a corneal ulcer.Management clic
Apple rust, caused by Gymnosporangium yamadae, poses a significant challenge to apple production.Prior studies have underscored the pivotal role played by endophytic microbial communities, intimately linked with the host, in influencing plant diseases and their pathogenic outcomes.The objective of this study is to scrutinize alternations in endophy
