Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a serious disease, with mortality rate up to 80%.A.fumigatus is an angiovasive pathogen, fragments of its hyphae can detach and circulate in the bloodstream.Platelets are activated by surface structures, metabolites and soluble fungal complexes, resulting in adhesion to conidia and fungal hyphae.The melanin and hydrop

BackgroundVirtual reality (VR) devices are increasingly used in health care settings.The use among patients has the potential to unintentionally transmit pathogens between patients and hospital staff.No standard operating procedure for disinfection exists to ensure safe use between patients.ObjectiveThis study aims to determine the efficacy of disi

Recent studies analyze the influence of rainfall on traffic crashes, indicating that precipitation intensity is an important factor, for Soprano/Concert Ukulele modeling crashes occurrence.This research presents a relationship between daily-basis traffic crashes and precipitation, from 2014 to 2018, in a rural mountainous Brazilian Highway (BR-376/

Slagging-off (i.e., slag removal) is an important preprocessing operation of steel-making to improve the purity of iron.Current manual-operated slag removal schemes are inefficient and labor-intensive.Automatic slagging-off is desirable but challenging as the reliable recognition of iron and slag is difficult.This work focuses on realizing an effic

This study investigated fluoride contamination in groundwater and associated health risks in the Badin district of Pakistan.Fifty-seven groundwater samples were analyzed for fluoride, turbidity, iron, and total dissolved solids (TDS).Pollution indices and health risk models were employed to assess contamination levels and potential health impacts.R
