0%, 76.6% and 80% among oldest-old, old and controls, respectively. No significant differences in success rates were found, even despite higher comorbidity rates among the study’s group (96 and 92.8% vs. 63.2%, among oldest-old, old and controls respectively, p<0.001). Intra- and postoperative complications rates were low in all groups.…[Lees meer]

Since the research of industrial CPS is still emerging, we also discuss existing approaches and novel solutions to overcome these sub-challenges. These insights will help researchers and industrial practitioners to develop and commercialize industrial CPS.Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) play key roles in eukaryotes since they…[Lees meer]

Further, in vitro biocompatibility tests for human mesenchymal (MSC) and fibroblast (FBL) cells indicated nanoparticles were not toxic. Specifically, the best formulations with the maximum compatibility and bioavailability for MSC and FBL cells were AC-loaded nanoliposomes with concentrations of 0.5 mL/mg and 10.3 mL/µg and,…[Lees meer]

ieve our approach may shorten the time from transplant to clinical pregnancy and therefore decrease patient exposure to immunosuppressant therapies.

6 months compared with previous studies. We believe our approach may shorten the time from transplant to clinical pregnancy and therefore decrease patient exposure to immunosuppressant…[Lees meer]

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are both capable of predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, which modality is better is unknown.

To intraindividually compare CT and MRI for predicting MVI in solitary HCC and investigate the added value of radiomics analyses.…[Lees meer]

The present work reviews the main challenges regarding adaptation of urban drainage networks to climate change by comparing 32 case studies from 29 articles, published between 2003 and 2020. The aim is to (i) identify the state-of-the-art scientific approaches of adaptation of urban drainage networks to climate change; (ii) assess whether or not…[Lees meer]

Despite the intense interest in cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) for biomedical and engineering applications, no research findings about the electrical energy storage of CNF have been reported yet. Here, we present the first electroadsorption effects of an amorphous cellulose nanofiber (ACF) supercapacitor, which can store a large amount of electricity…[Lees meer]

Muscular regeneration is a complex biological process that occurs during acute injury and chronic degeneration, implicating several cell types. One of the earliest events of muscle regeneration is the inflammatory response, followed by the activation and differentiation of muscle progenitor cells. However, the process of novel neuromuscular…[Lees meer]

The isoprene branching pathway is a unique downstream synthesis pathway of juvenile hormone (JH) in arthropods, which plays an important role in the growth, development, and reproduction of insects. Juvenile hormone acid O-methyltransferase (JHAMT) and farnesoic acid O-methyltransferase (FAMeT) are two key proteins that are regulated in the…[Lees meer]

7%). The arteriovenous fistula was the most common access used (75.5%, n=71). Most patients were found to be on hemodialysis for more than five years (51.1%, n=48). Conclusion Blood pressure changes are critical while performing hemodialysis, just like we found hypotension as the most common intradialytic complication in our results, followed by…[Lees meer]

is of pain responses in order to more effectively improve patients quality of life.

Apart from the partially supported assumptions of the Fear-Avoidance and Avoidance-Endurance Model, perceived stress and dispositional action versus state orientation may play a crucial role in the formation of pain-related avoidance-endurance response patterns…[Lees meer]
