Effects of Protective Mechanical Ventilation With Different PEEP Levels on Alveolar Damage and Inflammation in a Model of Open Abdominal Surgery: A Randomized Study in Obese Versus Non-obese Rats

Intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been proposed to restore lung volumes and improve respiratory essential oil blend function in obesity.However, the biological impact of different PEEP levels on the lungs in obesity remains unknown.We aimed to compare the effects of PEEP = 2 cmH2O versus PEEP = 6 cmH2O during ventilation wi

In Situ Analysis of a Silver Nanoparticle-Precipitating Shewanella Biofilm by Surface Enhanced Confocal Raman Microscopy.

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is an electroactive bacterium, capable of reducing extracellular insoluble electron acceptors, making it important for both nutrient cycling in nature and microbial electrochemical technologies, such as microbial fuel cells and microbial electrosynthesis.When allowed to anaerobically colonize an Ag/AgCl solid interface, S

Ultrasensitive detection of lipoarabinomannan with plasmonic grating biosensors in clinical samples of HIV negative patients with tuberculosis.

BACKGROUND:Timely diagnosis of tuberculosis disease is Utensils critical for positive patient outcomes, yet potentially millions go undiagnosed or unreported each year.Sputum is widely used as the testing input, but limited by its complexity, heterogeneity, and sourcing problems.Finding methods to interrogate noninvasive, non-sputum clinical specim
