Exceptions were temperature seasonality and winter temperature. Results imply that Argylia had the capacity to adapt to extreme temperature conditions associated with the Andean uplift and the new climatic corridor produced by uplift. Ancestral range reconstruction for the genus showed that Argylia first diversified in a region where subtropical…Read more

Background Limited research exists investigating the association between diabetes and glycemic control on complications following elective hand surgery. The goal of this research was to assess the incidence of complications within 30 days of elective hand surgery in a large population of diabetic patients compared to a population of non-diabetics.…Read more

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a clinical syndrome characterized by postprandial vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating and, in advanced cases, by weight loss secondary to inadequate oral intake. This clinical entity may be caused by mechanical obstruction, either benign or malignant, or by motility disorders. In this review we will focus on…Read more

The bionic soft robot shows great promise for use in environment sensing, target detecting, and equipment servicing.Sweat contains a broad range of critical biomarkers including ions, small molecules, and macromolecules that may indirectly or directly reflect the health status of the human body and thereby help track disease progression. Wearable…Read more

To explore the development of central nervous system (CNS) symptoms and clinical application in predicting the clinical outcomes of SARS-COV-2 patients.

l response quality. These findings suggest that the CD8+ T cell response might dictate differences in the infection outcomes at the chronic T. cruzi stage. This study shows that the T cell response quality is related to parasite control during chronic T. cruzi infection.

Microbial dysbiosis and microbiome-induced inflammation have emerged as…Read more
