However, most of the patients were right-sided torsion. Precise diagnosis might not be possible by only clinical examination and plain abdominal radiography. The computed tomography scan, demonstrating classic whirling pattern, is useful in suspected cases. The treatment was straightforward by resection of the affected omentum.

The omental…[Read more]

The systematic review follows PRISMA guidelines. Relevant meta-analyses were performed.

PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched for relevant literatures from 1960 to February 2020. The systematic review follows PRISMA guidelines. Relevant meta-analyses were performed.Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss…[Read more]

The realization of the vast potential of digital PCR (dPCR) to provide extremely accurate and sensitive measurements in the clinical setting has thus far been hindered by challenges such as assay robustness and high costs. Here we introduce a lossless and contamination-free dPCR technology, termed CLEAR-dPCR, which addresses these challenges by…[Read more]

filipinensis CGMCC 4.1452T, S. achromogenes subsp. achromogenes DSM 40028T, S. durhamensis DSM 40539T and S. yokosukanensis DSM 40224T. However, the multilocus sequence analysis evolutionary distance, average nucleotide identity and DNA-DNA hybridization values between closely related relatives were far from the species-level thresholds. In…[Read more]

Hairdressing and beautician apprentices are at high risk of occupational skin diseases. Our objective was to compare the prevalence of skin symptoms and the condition of skin barrier between them at the end of vocational training. We recruited 101 hairdressing and 76 beautician apprentices (overall median age 17 years), who reported their history…[Read more]

5 ± 4.6% (95%-LoA – 8.6 to 9.6%) and the overall predictive agreement was 72.4% with a Cohen’s kappa of 0.53. The mean of the differences was – 0.7 ± 3.8% (95%-LoA – 8.1 to 6.7%) without pneumoperitoneum in horizontal position and 1.1 ± 4.8% (95%-LoA – 8.4 to 10.5%) during pneumoperitoneum in reverse-Trendelenburg position. The absolute agree…[Read more]

Results suggest that iron-reducing bacteria (IRB) were not especially prominent methylators and MeHg production at the sediment-water interface is elevated under moderately reduced conditions corresponding with SRB activity. In contrast, it is suppressed under oxic conditions due to low SRB activity, and under highly reduced conditions ( less then…[Read more]

BACKGROUND. The mechanisms linking cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression are still not established. We investigated the impact of mental vulnerability on the relationship between CVD and depression. METHODS. A total of 19,856 individuals from five cohorts of random samples of the background population in Copenhagen were followed from…[Read more]

s with small thorax and short subclavicular distance, a sub-muscular pacemaker implantation can potentially cause unique and unexpected pocket-related adverse events necessitating advanced diagnostics and timely treatment.

In the absence of direct trauma, intense physical activity or vigorous coughing, we assume that in this asthenic girl a…[Read more]

e present study shows a strong correlation between subjective sleep quality and frailty status, contributing substantial information to the growing literature demonstrating that sleep is associated with older people’s overall health. Sleep complaints should not be underestimated, and older individuals who self-report sleep disorders should be…[Read more]

The concept of doping Mn2+ ions into II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) was recently extended to perovskite NCs. To date, most studies on Mn2+ doped NCs focus on enhancing the emission related to the Mn2+ dopant via an energy transfer mechanism. Herein, we found that the doping of Mn2+ ions into CsPbCl3 NCs not only results in a Mn2+ -related…[Read more]
