Introduction: Preeclampsia is a common hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Several studies have demonstrated that protein aggregates, detected through urine congophilia, is associated with preeclampsia; however, it has yet to be investigated whether urine congophilia remains postpartum in these women. In this study, we aimed to augment prior studies and determine whether urine congophilia is present postpartum. Methods: Women were recruited from Lyell McEwin Hospital, South Australia. Urine samp...

Two new studies strengthen the link between gum disease and the development of Alzheimer's disease. The studies focus on the interactions between the gingipains enzyme interacts with the Tau protein, and how the gingipains enzyme contributes to the development of amyloid-beta.

The testing being developed at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Yale could make diagnosis of the condition more accessible in LMICs.

Abstract Non-noble metal decoration is a promising strategy for promoting semiconductor photocatalysis by effectively enhancing charge separation. Cube-like WO -Cu hybrid was successfully synthesized by a facile ascorbic acid reduction method at room temperature. The composition and morphology characterization showed that the Cu particle was deposited on the surface of WO nanocube. The WO -Cu-1.0 hybrid (when 1.0 mmol CuSO ∙5H O was involved into the reaction system) exhibited promoted photo...
