Peak pressure was significantly higher in the fixed-compression types than those of adjustable type. On bivariate correlation analysis, fixed-compression type and wet collagens were respectively associated with overcompression. On multivariate analysis, edematous collagen condition was the most important risk factor and proximal anvil side, fixed…Read more

Both recycled polymers produced smoother surfaces with a decrease of the mean surface roughness between 55% and 65%. Considering the properties required by manufacturers of food containers and car dashboards, this study indicates that recycled materials can be reused for the same applications.We report a hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) case due to…Read more

In 1864, Hugo Schiff, aged 30, discovered the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with primary amines to give imine derivatives. A C═N imine bond presents the unique properties of being strong, as expected for a covalent double bond, and of being reversible due to a fast hydrolytic process. In view of such features, Schiff base condensations are t…Read more

This study was conducted to establish and validate a non-contrast T1 map-based radiomic nomogram for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

This retrospective study included 157 consecutive patients…Read more

Measuring gamma rays emitted from nuclear reactions gives insight into their nuclear structure. Notably, there are several nuclear reactions that produce gamma rays at ∼1 MeV-3 MeV energies such as T(4He, γ)7Li, 4He(3He, γ)7Be, and 12C(p, γ)13N, which may solve questions lingering about big-bang nucleosynthesis and stellar nucleosynthesis. To obse…Read more

In order to legally conduct clinical research into new cancer treatments with medicinal products based on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and treat cancer patients with these products, Dutch hospitals must obtain an environmental permit from the Minister of Infrastructure & Water Management. In the Netherlands, permit applications are…Read more

This mechanism is expected to be universal in Ni-rich layered cathodes. Our findings provide fundamental insights into strategies to help mitigate this degradation process.Several concepts for platinum-based catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are presented that exceed the US Department of Energy targets for Pt-related ORR mass…Read more

The incidence of renal tumor on the allograft kidney is relatively rare. There is no standard treatment available for the management of such cases. However, if technically feasible nephron-sparing surgical approaches, whether open or minimally invasive, should be preferred for the management of these challenging cases. To our knowledge, there is…Read more
