Late-diagnosed complete intravaginal testicular torsion with preserved blood flow and viable testis in an adolescent by Zvizdic, Zlatan

“…In intermittent TT, the degree of spermatic cord twist is ≥ 360°, but spontaneous resolution occurs after a short time. In the mentioned forms of TT, color Doppler ultrasonography (CDS) shows a subtle decreased blood flow or flow that appears symmetrical with the contralateral testis.1 In contrast, complete TT results in testicular ischemia due to compromised blood flow to the affected testis. …”

Modified zno nanoparticles using iron ions (Fe3+) for photo-catalytic degradation of toxic pollutants under sunlight by Ba-Abbad, Muneer M.

“…The photocatalytic activities of pure ZnO and Fe-ZnO samples were evaluated based on the degradation of 2-chlorophenol in an aqueous solution under the sunlight. The samples with a small concentration of Fe3+ ions showed enhanced photocatalytic activity with an optimal maximum performance at 0.5 wt. %. …”

Temporal cross talk between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria regulates oxidative stress and mediates microparticle-induced endothelial dysfunction by Safiedeen, Zainab

“…Aims: Circulating microparticles (MPs) from metabolic syndrome patients and those generated from apoptotic T-cells induce endothelial dysfunction; however, the molecular and cellular mechanism(s) underlying in the effects of MPs remain to be elucidated. Results: Here, we show that both types of MPs increased expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers XBP-1, p-eIF2alpha and CHOP and nuclear translocation of ATF6 on human aortic endothelial cells. …”
