Although our algorithm was developed using patterns learned from a hip-worn accelerometer, we propose algorithmic steps that can easily be applied to a wrist-worn accelerometer and a retrained classification model.Juxtacellular interactions play an essential but still not fully understood role in both normal tissue development and tumour invasion.…[Read more]

However, most pigs developed a mild lung injury by 12 h. Further investigation is required to optimize the model and enable the assessment of therapeutic candidates. In this paper we describe the exposure strategies used and discuss the challenges encountered in establishing a model of chlorine-induced lung injury. A key aim is to assist r…[Read more]

The growing interest in biomass production of Miscanthus × giganteus (M × g) (Poaceae) on agricultural and marginal lands has prompted researches to identify plant pathogens and diseases affecting this crop which has a great potential for production of biofuels and different bioproducts. A soil survey of nematodes in the M × g rhizosphere an…[Read more]

Non-motor symptoms such as impulsivity and the Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) part I score were associated with QOL after STN-DBS. Conclusions Frontal lobe functions, depression, and verbal fluency significantly worsened 3 years after STN-DBS. The UPDRS part I score and higher impulsivity might be associated with QOL after STN-DBS.Cerebral small…[Read more]

A new population of Metarhabditis amsactae from India is morphologically, morphometrically, and molecularly characterized. This material is characterized by having 0.65 to 1.14 mm length, lips rounded, and grouped in pairs, stoma with metastegostoma bearing setose denticles, pharynx with metacorpus slightly swollen and fusiform, nerve ring, and e…[Read more]

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2) are drugs that have been reported to have several effects through the regulation of plasma volume, for example, antihypertensive effects. This study aimed to clarify the impact of long-term administration and subsequent discontinuation of the SGLT2 inhibitor tofogliflozin on estimated plasma volume…[Read more]

Different types of post-translational modifications are present in bacteria that play essential roles in bacterial metabolism modulation. Nevertheless, limited information is available on these types of modifications in actinobacteria, particularly on their effects on secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Recently, phosphorylation, acetylation, or…[Read more]

An integrated augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation system that potentially improves intra-operative visualization of concealed anatomical structures. Integration of real-time tracking technology with a laser pico-projector allows the surgical surface to be augmented by projecting virtual images of lesions and critical structures created by…[Read more]

Esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy is the principal treatment for localized esophageal cancer. Conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE) in prone position has spread worldwide as it is less invasive. However, its efficacy remains controversial. Robot-assisted MIE (RAMIE) can have more advantages than C-MIE. Therefore, the current study…[Read more]

001), and regular partners (p  less then  0.05) compared to peers in the Dominican Republic. This unique border study highlights disparities in FSWs’ condom use regardless of HIV knowledge. MK-4827 price The lack of consistent condom use by FSWs in Haiti has the potential to exacerbate the HIV epidemic at the border and impact both nations’ HIV…[Read more]

The aim of our study was to assess if there were any differences in clinical presentation, management, and outcome, between younger and elderly patients with acute diverticulitis (AD).

279 patients with diagnosis of AD treated at the General Surgery Department of Trieste from January 2007 to December 2015 were retrospectively examined and…[Read more]
