Small entities with large impact: microcalcifications and atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Atherosclerotic plaque rupture and subsequent acute events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, contribute to the majority of cardiovascular-related deaths. Calcification has emerged as a significant predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, challenging previously held notions that calcifications stabilize atherosclerotic plaques. In this review, we address th...

β-phenylethylamine, a small molecule with a large impact.

During a screen of bacterial nutrients as inhibitors of Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm, the Prüß research team made an intriguing observation: among 95 carbon and 95 nitrogen sources tested, β-phenylethylamine (PEA) performed best at reducing bacterial cell counts and biofilm amounts, when supplemented to liquid beef broth medium. This review article summarizes what is known about PEA. After ...

Augmented Chemical Reactions Small molecules with a large impact

Modeling of molecular catalysts in chemistry is still a time consuming process. Where chemists design new catalysts in 2D on a screen or a paper, for making special molecules with a defined chirality, Augmented Chemistry provides an efficient way for designing and interacting with the molecules. This helps to understand the spatial relations between catalyst and reacting molecules and accelerat...

Relation between adenocarcinoma of stomach,bile ducts,small and large intestine with appendectomy

considering the structure of appendix,its great blood supply and lymphatic tissue,and its anatomical location it seems to have an immunologic role.there are no clear studies regarding the relation between appendectomy and cancer of digestive system.therefore,this stuty proposed for to clarify the relation between previous appendectomy and present gastrointestinal (GI)adenocarcinoma.the cancer g...
