Nutraceuticals silybin B, resveratrol, and epigallocatechin-3 gallate-bind to cardiac muscle troponin to restore the loss of lusitropy caused by cardiomyopathy mutations in vitro,... by Yang, Z, Sheehan, AM, Messer, AE, Tsui, S, Sparrow, A, Redwood, C, Kren, V, Gould, IR, Marston, SB

“…Phosphorylation causes a 2-3 fold decrease of affinity of cTn for Ca2+ associated with a higher rate of Ca2+ dissociation from cTnC leading to a faster relaxation rate of the cardiac muscle (lusitropy). Cardiomyopathy-linked mutations primarily affect Ca2+ regulation or the PKA-dependent modulatory system, such that Ca2+-sensitivity becomes independent of phosphorylation level (uncoupling) and this could be sufficient to induce cardiomyopathy. …”

Management and outcomes of thoracic sarcomas - a collaboration between Orthopaedic Oncology and cardiothoracic surgery: seven-year clinical data from a tertiary referral centre by Shamsi, ZA, Paraoan, V, Kim, C, Saifuddin, SR, Cosker, TDA, Whitwell, D, Gibbons, CLMH, Stavroulias, D, DiChiara, F

“…Both surgical intervention (p < 0.0001) and clear margins (p = 0.0051) were significantly linked to improved survival. Local recurrence was noted in 28.6% of the 77 surgical cases, and predominantly in the high-grade sarcomas (81.8%). …”

Experimental medicine study with stabilised native-like HIV-1 Env immunogens drives long-term antibody responses, but lacks neutralising breadth by Pollock, K, Cheeseman, H, McFarlane, L, Day, S, Tolazzi, M, Turner, H, Joypooranachandran, J, Shramko, K, Dispinseri, S, Mundsperger, P, Bontjer, I, Lemm, N-M, Coelho, S, Tanaka, M, Cole, T, Korber, B, Katinger, D, Ward, A, Scarlatti, G, Sanders, R, Sattentau, Q, Shattock, R

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> Healthy adult volunteers were enrolled into one of five groups (A to E) each receiving a different schedule of one of two consensus Env immunogens (ConM SOSIP, ConS UFO, either unmodified or stabilised by chemical cross-linking, followed by a boost with two mosaic Env immunogens (Mos3·1 and Mos3·2). …”

A low-cost dual output switch mode power supply (SMPS) for laptop by Palaniappan Balathandayutham

“…It switches at a much-higher frequency 40 kHz than that of the AC line, which means that the transformer that it feeds can be much smaller than one connected directly to the line/mains. Switching creates a rectangular waveform that typically goes to the primary of the transformer; typically secondary feed rectifiers and filter capacitors to provide various DC outputs with low ripple. …”
