Impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in antioxidant-enzyme genes on the concentrations of folate, homocysteine and glutathione in plasma from healthy subjects after folic acid supplementation – a randomized controlled crossover trial
(2025)Background One-carbon metabolism links folate and methionine metabolism and this is essential for nucleotide synthesis in the cells. Alterations in one-carbon metabolism are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), ... -
Real Time Energy Forecasting Scheme for Large Scale PV Solar Power Plants - Cloud Image Segmentation and Contour Detection
(2024)Solar power is primarily generated through large scale solar power plants. However, several factors can disrupt the output of these plants, with cloud cover being one of the most significant. To predict the effect ... -

Acute Dystonia-Induced Airway Compromise During Emergence from Anaesthesia: Implications of Propofol and Ondansetron Administration to Patients with Previous Neuroexcitatory Phenomena
(2025-01-25)Acute dystonic reactions have been reported during emergence from anaesthesia following the use of propofol or/and ondansetron. We present a 37-year-old lady who developed recurrent and severe involuntary movements and ... -
Structural brain network topology in migraine vs. healthy subjects: A graph theory study
(2024-07)There is compelling evidence that migraine is associated with a decline in grey matter in the brain. We postulate that these changes might affect the architecture of the structural brain networks and normal wiring ... -
