A rapid multiplex nucleic acid detection system of airborne fungi by an integrated DNA release device and microfluidic chip

Talanta. 2022 Apr 9;246:123467. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2022.123467. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Occupational health problems, such as asthma, in specific work environments arise from the presence of airborne fungi. Rapid detection of pathogenic airborne fungi is therefore important to reduce or avoid any adverse effects on staff health. Herein, we established a new integrated rapid Lyticase-Motor-Chemical …

Modeling the Hemodynamic Response Function Using EEG-fMRI Data During Eyes-Open Resting-State Conditions and Motor Task Execution

Brain Topogr. 2022 Apr 30. doi: 10.1007/s10548-022-00898-w. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Being able to accurately quantify the hemodynamic response function (HRF) that links the blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) signal to the underlying neural activity is important both for elucidating neurovascular coupling mechanisms and improving the accuracy of fMRI-based functional …

Effects of 3 months of detraining following cardiac rehabilitation in patients with atrial fibrillation

Eur Rev Aging Phys Act. 2022 Apr 29;19(1):14. doi: 10.1186/s11556-022-00293-1. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation negatively impacts physical fitness and health-related quality of life. We recently showed that 3 months of physiotherapist-led exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves physical fitness and muscle function in elderly patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and concomitant diseases. Little is, however, known about …

Acrylamide exposure increases cardiovascular risk of general adult population probably by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and TGF-β1: A prospective cohort study

Environ Int. 2022 Apr 25;164:107261. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107261. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Acrylamide (ACR) exposure and consequent health hazards are alarming public health issues that attract worldwide concern. The World Health Organization urges more researches into health hazards from ACR exposure. However, whether and how ACR exposure increases cardiovascular risk remain unclear, and we sought …
