Advances in Musculoskeletal Imaging and Their Applications

Antegrade intramedullary (IM) nailing is the gold standard treatment for femoral shaft fractures; however, the non-union rate of infra-isthmal femoral shaft fractures is still high after antegrade IM nailing. This retrospective case–control study aimed to determine the association between perioperative radiographic factors and the non-union of infra-isthmal femoral shaft fractures after an…

Advances in Multiscale and Multifield Solid Material Interfaces

A mathematical model employing the concept of energy-equivalent inhomogeneity is applied to analyze short cylindrical fiber composites with interfaces described by the Steigmann–Ogden material surface model. Real inhomogeneity consists of a cylindrical fiber of finite length, and its surface possessing different properties is replaced by a homogeneous, energy-equivalent cylinder. The prop…

African perspectives on religion and climate change

Buku ini menyelidiki kontribusi yang telah diberikan oleh tradisi keagamaan terhadap diskusi perubahan iklim di Afrika, baik positif maupun negatif. Mengacu pada berbagai konteks dan tradisi keagamaan Afrika, buku ini memberikan saran konkret tentang bagaimana individu dan komunitas agama harus bertindak untuk mengatasi tantangan perubahan iklim. Meskipun Afrika telah memberikan kontribusi yang…

Advances in Multi-Scale Analysis of Brain Complexity

In neuroscience, a defining but elusive question regarding the human brain is its astonishingly structural and functional complexity. This complexity arises from the interaction of numerous neuronal circuits that operate over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, enabling the brain to adapt to the constantly changing environment and to perform various high-level mental functions. Suc…

Advances in Multiple Sclerosis Research-Series I

Designing immunotherapeutics, drugs, and anti-inflammatory reagents has been at the forefront of autoimmune research, in particular, multiple sclerosis, for over 20 years. Delivery methods that are used to modulate effective and long-lasting immune responses have been the major focus. This Special Issue, “Advances in Multiple Sclerosis Research—Series I”, focused on delivery methods u…

Advances in Mucoadhesive Polymers and Formulations for Transmucosal Drug Deli…

Pioglitazone has been reported in the literature to have a substantial role in the improvement of overall cognition in a mouse model. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to determine the most efficacious route for the administration of Pioglitazone nanoparticles (PGZ-NPs) in order to promote drug delivery to the brain for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. PGZ-loaded NPs were …

Advances in Molecular Retrovirology

Retroviruses consist of a varied family of enveloped RNA viruses with positive-sense RNAs that replicate in a host cell through the process of reverse transcription. Retrovirus‐ es belong to the Retroviridae family that typically carries their genetic material in the form of ribonucleic acid, while the genetic material of their hosts is in the form of deoxy‐ ribonucleic acid

Advances in Molecular Genetics of Brain Tumors

Deregulation of signalling pathways that regulate cell growth, survival, metabolism, and migration can frequently lead to the progression of cancer. Brain tumours are a large group of malignancies characterised by inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity, with glioblastoma (GBM) being the most aggressive and fatal. The present study aimed to characterise the expression of cancer pathway-relate…

Advances in Molecular Breeding of Vegetable Crops

Molecular vegetable breeding has been progressed intensively in recent years. Huge advances have been made in germplasm evaluation, gene isolation, plant transformation, gene editing and molecular-marker-assisted breeding. The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight, through selected works, frontier research from basic to applied molecular vegetable breeding
