er tract metastasis was commonly overlooked by radiologists, reported in only 39% of cases.

• Catheter tract metastasis (CTM), resulting from indwelling pleural catheter to manage malignant pleural mesothelioma, invariably manifested on CT as a focal subcutaneous lesion at the site of insertion, more commonly after catheter removal. • Ips…[Read more]

Less than half have an employment protocol, but all the answers agree on the usefulness of national recommendations.

HFNC therapy is widely used in Spanish units, but there is great variability in its indications and strategies of use. National recommendations would be applicable in most units and would allow unifying its use.

HFNC…[Read more]

In patients with obstructive jaundice, the cardiovascular system exhibits hypotension and vascular hyporeactivity. Most norepinephrine is taken up through the neuronal norepinephrine transporter (NET), which is implicated in cardiovascular diseases. A previous study demonstrated that pharmacological NET inhibition could increase resting blood…[Read more]

Atrazine (ATR), a widely used herbicide that belongs to the triazine class, has detrimental effects on several organ systems. It has also been shown that ATR exposure results in dopaminergic neurotoxicity. However, the mechanism of herbicides causing ferroptosis in neurons is less concerned. So, the present study aimed to investigate the effects…[Read more]

Conversely, TGFβ3, although it functions via the same TGF beta I and II receptors, may, at least in some circumstances, play a more antifibrotic role-although it also upregulates the expression of many profibrotic genes.

The overall effects of these two growth factor-cytokine-receptor systems in controlling the corneal wound healing…[Read more]

The results were most sensitive to the age when patients are implanted with a CI and the proportion of patients eligible for CIs after triage.

An increase in the prevalence of Swedish adults with severe to profound hearing loss is expected as the population ages. Earlier implantation of unilateral CIs improves the cost-effectiveness among…[Read more]

A numerical model for laser-matter interactions in the warm dense matter regime is presented with broad applications, e.g., ablation, thermionic emission, and radiation. A unique approach is adopted, in which a complete set of collisional and transport data is calculated using a quantum model and incorporated into the classical two-temperature…[Read more]

005), and to a lesser degree with HOMA-IR (ρ = 0.25; P = 0.051). The association of liver fat with LP-IR was limited to patients without diabetes (ρ = 0.60; P less then 0.0001), whereas no association was seen in those with diabetes. In a multivariate model, Adipo-IR, LP-IR, and diabetes were independently associated with liver fat and together e…[Read more]

between gouty arthritis and septic arthritis.

For the Bassoon – PSD95 pair, treatments driving synaptic potentiation caused an increase in their coupling probability, whereas a stimulus driving synaptic depression had an opposite effect. To enrich the characterization of the synaptic cluster remodeling at the population level, we applied unsupervised machine learning approaches to include…[Read more]
