Multi-targeted directed ligands for Alzheimer’s disease: design of novel lead coumarin conjugates
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by central nervous system insults with progressive cognitive (memory, attention) and non-cognitive (anxiety, depression) impairments. Pathophysiological ...
Microtubular dysfunction and male infertility
(Korean Society for Sexual Medicine and Andrology, 2018)
Microtubules are the prime component of the cytoskeleton along with microfilaments. Being vital for organelle transport and
cellular divisions during spermatogenesis and sperm motility process, microtubules ascertain ...
B-cell and T-cell activation in South African HIV-1-positive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients
(AOSIS, 2018)
BACKGROUND: Altered immune mechanisms play a critical role in the pathogenesis of non-
Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). HIV-1 (HIV) infection is associated with a state of excessive
T-cell activation, which can lead to increased ...
Prerace medical screening and education reduce medical encounters in distance road races: SAFER VIII study in 153 208 race starters
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018)
OBJECTIVES To examine the efficacy and feasibility of an online prerace medical screening and educational intervention programme for reducing medical complications in long-distance races.
METHODS This was an 8-year ...
Quantification of radicals generated in a sonicator
(Iranian Chemical Society, 2016)
The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. It can react nonspecifically in
breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. It can also ...
Mathematical analysis and numerical simulation of a tumor-host model with chemotherapy application
(Communications in Mathematical Biology and Neuroscience, 2018)
In this paper, a system of non-linear quasi-parabolic partial differential system, modeling the chemotherapy application of spatial tumor-host interaction is considered. At some certain parameters, we derive the steady ...
Seaweeds in two oceans: beta-diversity
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Several species assembly mechanisms have been proposed to structure ecological
communities. We assess the biogeography of seaweeds along 2,900 km of South
Africa’s coastline in relation to a thermal gradient produced by ...
Geometagenomics illuminates the impact of agriculture on the distribution and prevalence of plant viruses at the ecosystem scale
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Disease emergence events regularly result from human activities such as agriculture, which
frequently brings large populations of genetically uniform hosts into contact with potential
pathogens. Although viruses cause ...
Possible aquaculture development in Nigeria: evidence for commercial prospects
(David Publishing, 2017)
The cultivation of desirable aquatic organisms is becoming increasingly important as one of the fastest-growing
agro-industrial activities in the world. Nigeria, over the years, practised traditional methods of aquaculture ...
Treatment of persistent organic pollutants in wastewater using hydrodynamic cavitation in synergy with advanced oxidation process
(Springer, 2017)
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are very tenacious wastewater contaminants. The consequences of their existence have been acknowledged for negatively affecting the ecosystem with specific impact upon endocrine disruption ...
