Metabolic acidosis (MA) is a highly prevalent disorder in a significant proportion of the population, resulting from imbalance in blood pH homeostasis.The heart, being an organ with very low regenerative capacity and high metabolic activity, is vulnerable to chronic, although low-grade, MA.To systematically characterize the effect of low-grade MA o
Interaction between Vetiver Grass Roots and Completely Decomposed Volcanic Tuff under Rainfall Infiltration Conditions
The important role of vetiver grass roots in preventing water erosion and mass movement has been well recognized, though the detailed influence of the grass roots on soil has not been addressed.Through planting vetiver grass at the Kadoorie Farm in Hong Kong and Brake Light leaving it to grow without artificial maintenance, the paper studies the in
Contact lens associated keratitis due to Tintelnotia destructans
Jackets We report the first case of Tintelnotia destructans associated keratitis in a contact lens wearer in Australia.Corneal scrape showed fungal elements on direct microscopy leading to a prompt diagnosis of fungal keratitis and early topical and systemic antifungal therapy.The isolate was eventually identified by ITS gene Glossy Shoe Cabinet se
Inactivated vaccine-elicited potent antibodies can broadly neutralize SARS-CoV-2 circulating variants
Abstract A full understanding of the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine-mediated antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 circulating variants will inform vaccine effectiveness and vaccination development strategies.Here, we offer insights into the inactivated vaccine-induced antibody Green Tea responses after prime-boost vaccination at both the polyclonal and m
