Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have emerged as a favored candidate for bio-regenerative medical implants due to their superior biocompatibility, biodegradability and the elastic modulus close to that of human bone.Unfortunately, the rapid and uncontrollable degradation rate of Mg alloys in chloride-rich body microenvironments limits their clinical o
Vaccines are proving to be highly effective in controlling hospitalisation and deaths associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection but the emergence of viral variants with novel antigenic profiles threatens to diminish their efficacy.Assessment of the ability of sera from vaccine recipients to neutralise SARS-CoV-2 variants will inform the success of strat

BACKGROUND:Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease for which more than a billion people in 73 countries are thought to be at-risk.At a global level, the AEG CGB6130ACM 60cm Gas Cooker – Stainless Steel efforts against LF are designed as an elimination program.However, current efforts appear to aim for elimination in some but not
The fluke Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite of piscivorous birds, but also reptiles and rarely mammals, has established several foci in the western Palaearctic regions.Previous studies pointed out the complicated taxonomy of the genus, but broader population genetic analysis of C.complanatum has not yet been carried out.The aim of this study was
