Inhibition of Adherence and Biofilm Formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Immobilized ZnO Nanoparticles on Silicone Urinary Catheter Grafted by Gamma Irradiation

Nosocomial infections caused by microbial biofilm formation on biomaterial surfaces such as urinary catheters are complicated by antibiotic resistance, representing a common problem in hospitalized Bookmark patients.Therefore, we aimed to modify silicone catheters to resist microbial adherence and biofilm formation by the tested microorganisms.This

Unsupervised gene expression analyses identify IPF-severity correlated signatures, associated genes and biomarkers

Abstract Background Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal fibrotic lung disease occurring predominantly in middle-aged and older adults.The traditional diagnostic classification of IPF is based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological features.However, the considerable heterogeneity in IPF presentation suggests that differences in
