Antibiotic Use in Febrile Children Presenting to the Emergency Department: a Systematic Review
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-10-08)
Introduction: While fever is the main complaint among pediatric emergency services and high antibiotic prescription are observed, only a few studies have been published addressing this subject. Therefore this systematic ...
A key function for microtubule-associated-protein 6 in activity-dependent stabilisation of actin filaments in dendritic spines
(Nature Publishing, 2018-09-17)
Emerging evidence indicates that microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are implicated in synaptic function; in particular, mice deficient for MAP6 exhibit striking deficits in plasticity and cognition. How MAP6 connects ...
Do Thirty-Second Post-activation Potentiation Exercises Improve the 50-m Freestyle Sprint Performance in Adolescent Swimmers?
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-22)
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate performance, biomechanical, physiological, and psychophysiological effects of a simple and easily organized post-activation potentiation (PAP) re-warm-up performed ...
Activation of the DnaK-ClpB Complex is Regulated by the Properties of the Bound Substrate
(Nature Publishing, 2018-04-11)
The chaperone ClpB in bacteria is responsible for the reactivation of aggregated proteins in collaboration with the DnaK system. Association of these chaperones at the aggregate surface stimulates ATP hydrolysis, which ...
Accurate Determination of the Q Quality Factor in Magnetoelastic Resonant Platforms for Advanced Biological Detection
(MDPI, 2018-03)
The main parameters of magnetoelastic resonators in the detection of chemical (i.e., salts, gases, etc.) or biological (i.e., bacteria, phages, etc.) agents are the sensitivity S (or external agent change magnitude per Hz ...
A Telerehabilitation System for the Selection, Evaluation and Remote Management of Therapies
(MDPI, 2018-05)
Telerehabilitation systems that support physical therapy sessions anywhere can help save healthcare costs while also improving the quality of life of the users that need rehabilitation. The main contribution of this paper ...
Pitch Angle Misalignment Correction Based on Benchmarking and Laser Scanner Measurement in Wind Farms
(MDPI, 2018-12-01)
In addition to human error, manufacturing tolerances for blades and hubs cause pitch angle misalignment in wind turbines. As a consequence, a significant number of turbines used by existing wind farms experience power ...
Fabrication of Active Polymer Optical Fibers by Solution Doping and Their Characterization
(MDPI, 2018-12-31)
This paper employs the solution-doping technique for the fabrication of active polymer optical fibers (POFs), in which the dopant molecules are directly incorporated into the core of non-doped uncladded fibers. Firstly, ...
Combination of Diagnostic Tools for the Proper Identification of Moisture Pathologies in Modern Residential Buildings
(MDPI, 2018-09)
A study of moisture pathologies in a modern residential multifamily building is presented. The housing block was designed under the regulation NBE-CT of 1979 in northern Spain. After the appearance of some moisture problems ...
Evaluating Equity and Inclusion in Access toWater and Sanitation for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS in Wukro, Ethiopia
(MDPI, 2018-09)
For more than a decade, foreign aid-supported water interventions focusing on an increase in household private connections have been implemented in the small urban center of Wukro. However, little has been investigated ...
