Noncommunicable disease (NCD), comprising cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, are increasing in incidence rapidly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Some patients have access to the same treatments available in high-income countries, but mos...

A new iron(II) complex based on the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand [Fe(4,4'-dmbpy)3(ClO4)(SCN)·3H2O (1·3H2O)] has been prepared and characterized. Structural studies and Hirshfeld surface analysis for complex 1·3H2O at three different temperatures (300, 240 and 130 K) are described. The UV-vis...

The electrochemical CO2 reduction to specific multi-carbon product on copper-based catalysts is subjected to low activity and poor selectivity. Herein, catalyst structure, morphology, and chemical component are systematically studied for bolstering the activity and selectivity of as-prepared catalyz...

BACKGROUND: Currently available tools for assessing high cardiovascular risk (HCR) often require measurements not available in resource-limited settings in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). There is a need to assess HCR using a pragmatic evidence-based approach. OBJECTIVES: This study sought ...

The pretreatment with green deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is conducive to realizing the high-efficiency utilization of lignin at a low cost. In this study, an innovative choline chloride/urea/calcium hydroxide (ChCl/UR/Ca(OH)2) DES containing a reversibly-soluble base Ca(OH)2 was developed for the p...

Abstract The chitosan doped polyvinyl alcohol film are prepared by blending heating method. The prepared membrane is characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and universal testing machine. The surface of the ca...

With energy issue gradually going prominent, new power sources has been increasingly focused. Under the circumstance that it is an inexorable trend of electric vehicle's scale development, much attention has always been paid to the issue of battery. However, electric vehicle utilizing wireless charg...

Abstract Smartphones have become the primary platform for indoor location-based services (LBS). Although pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) alleviates some issues of pure inertial navigation, it is affected by cumulative errors over time. Vision-based positioning, though less susceptible to noise and i...

ABSTRACT The large open‐circuit voltage deficit ( V OC,def ) is currently recognized as the primary obstacle hindering the development of kesterite solar cells. Surface electrostatic potential fluctuations and bandgap fluctuations resulting from Cu/Zn antisite defects hinder energy level alignment a...

The high-value utilization of lignin is significantly constrained by its dark color and poor compatibility with polymer matrices. This study presents a green, H2O2-based alkaline oxidation process to transform corn stover enzymatic hydrolysis lignin into a functional additive for polyvinyl alcohol (...

Low- and middle-income countries in Asia are experiencing a rapidly increasing prevalence of hypertension, yet they have some of the lowest rates of hypertension detection, treatment, and control in the world. Thus, the implementation of effective evidence-based interventions for hypertension is urg...

Objectives: This study explores the burgeoning cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic disease (MD) risk factor burden among South Asian labor migrants to the Middle East. Methods: This study conducted a qualitative synthesis of literature using PubMed/Medline and grey literature searches. We reviewed the...
